When I first joined my gym there was this guy who hit the pads cleaner,faster and harder than everyone else. Not only that, he was also really friendly and would give new people such as me tips to improve my boxing. My target was to be as good as him and spar with him as equals. I heard he apparently broke his wrist and it will take at least a year before he can get back to boxing full strength =/
Damn, a broken wrist will put him out for a whole year? Hope for a speedy recovery, sounds like a great lad. In the meantime, work hard.... work harder.
