Sparring

 

Coach Jen and I took our fighter to American Top Team in Indy yesterday for some sparring work - good day for him. He sparred ten rounds with five different fighters, including two pros. He's looking better every time he gets in the ring. I'm hoping he can do well in Detroit, but you never know how things will go. He could draw the toughest fighter in the tournament and be out the first round. However, with a little bit of luck he could make it through three or four rounds. Making it to the final round might be a little unrealistic, but the kid belongs there, just the same.

We've got another workout scheduled this morning. Golden Gloves starts on the 16th. We'll find out then how much our hard work will pay off. My biggest question is their conditioning. Most of these guys won't run even if you put a gun to their head.
