Haha lol. In my gym we're big on defense too. Every advanced boxer in our gym pretty much has good defense. I fight next month in my first tournament and will have my first fight too. Is this fight your first fight?
Good luck man I wish you the best. Let your hands go if you feel it's a close fight because you never know what the outcome will be especially with judges these days. "Hit dat muthafuvcka! He aint doin ****!" - Roger Mayweather
