Sunday Fundays are no more !

The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the  road, long before I dance under those lights. Muhammad Al So today was the last Sunday Funday and the second last training session for everyone, before next Saturdays fight night. And its safe to say, win, lose or draw next week, every single one of these guys who have never stopped, in their effort and work rate, we have been pushed, then pushed some more, no one has quit, no one has backed out, are already champions. In some ways the fight, well the result anyway,  is actually the least important part of the whole ten weeks. Now don't get me wrong, I (as well as all the other guys) will be doing my utmost to win my match, be under no illusion, that we don't care about that. Although when we look back at what we have all achieved in what is only a short period of time, under the excellent guidance, from Ben, Allan, Gerry and Tony, we can only be proud of where we are now, no matter what happens next week. I think the biggest fear everyone has, is going out and not boxing, the way we have been shown, freezing on the night, or getting that red mist and just throwing random crazy punches. Hopefully this will not happen to anyone. For the last Sunday Funday, we got the usual hammering, loads of bag work, which wiped most of us out, before Ben (kindly) took us out for 5, yes 5 sets of the Fort steps (Oh how we'll miss those steps) but as Ben said after it, if your legs are strong enough after bag work to do the steps, our fitness will be good enough fornext week. This week, is going to be strange as I will being focusing more on collecting sponsorship money,  collecting my pimped up shorts, sorting table seating, wine and food options, haircut, underwear selection etc Although there was a couple of guys today, that looked a little more 'tanned' than they were on Thursday, I may refrain from taking the spray tan route, before Fridays weigh in. This, if you live in Jersey is taking place in Champions bar on Friday at 5.30pm, so come down and give the guys some support, especially if you can't make fight night. Ben also gave us the official line up and opponents (I will be facing Miles)for the night, although everyone knew who they were fighting,we didn't know the order, everyone wants to go early, so  its done and you can enjoy the night. I'm on second last (thanks Ben) thats 10th fight out of 11 ! And as the matches don't start till 9, it'll be a long night, before I get down to the important part ofmy night, a drink, the residents bar, better be planning on staying open for a while ! So will keep you posted on all the news as the night gets closer. Craig :-)
