Got a call like 5 mins ago from coach. My guy I'm fighting is not showing up...

He said it could just be the trainer playing head games with us because he does this (National Team Team coach) but yea...FUGITTY FUG FUG FUG



Still got to go to weigh ins and all that jazz tomorrow, but dammit.

How common is it to get fights cancelled? This is like the 3 or 4th one I've had.

In the amateurs it isn't uncommon for guys to get cold feet, but in your case it's an entirely different matter.

Here's what you could do. Take crap in a shoebox, wrap it up like a present, and then drop it off on that coach's doorstep. If you wish to write a short note, it could say, "Thanks for cancelling the fight, because unlike you I actually do give a shit."

I'm not saying that you should do it, but I know that if it were me I'd feel pretty square with the other coach afterwards.

You have no idea how fricken sad and pissed I am right now Chris. Well maybe you do...

There are 13 fights on the card tomorrow. So I don't care what opens up if anything...guy is 8 feet tall, 400 lbs, spits coffin nails for shit n giggles...I want to fight something or anything.

+30

I feel you bro. There's no worst feeling than busting your ass for something that matters most and having it pulled right from underneith you. All I can say is stay focussed, they can always checken out, but they can't stop you from fighting if that's what your heart is set on.

Since you know who the that national coach is, in the future you outta get a personal kick out of giving his boys an asswhipping. I can't think of anything more satisfying than that.

Yea thanks Chris. That's exactly it. Freakin work so hard. Give up so much, then just like that, I'm a spectator. Trying to get it in perspective. Worse things in life then a missed fight, eh. Bahh fug.

O well, thanks again, going to go play Fight Night 2 and lay a virtual ass whoopin on someone. Gnite.

Hey the shoe box trick nice to see it still lives on.

I know a guy who actually presented that particular gift to a male neighbor of his ,right on the doorstep grinnning saying"Yeah look bob here ya go,with all the crap thats gone down lately I thought you better have this " . It was all over a parking issue on a nature strip out the front of their houses .

Give him the benifit of the doubt for a while though, you may find sickness or a death in the family or something like that .

What does a white feather represent?

People used to send them to cowards.

I was thinking of a chicken feather when you mentioned it.

Yea probably 1/2 the people going are going to watch my fight. And there are a lot going. Meh, every teacher I've ever had, relative, friend, friend of friend etc, etc, etc...

Now weight in is in a few hours and if it was by ANY chance a head game, it is working. Starting to now worry bout things like, 'hey, hope i still get the free prefight meal'. lol Dammit

Don't sweat it. The only what-if's you should be thinking about is what you are going to do to your opponent. Just thinking about the immortal wisdom that Rocky Marciano instilled upon a fighter when he was working his ring of a nervous young fighter, "Just hit 'em on the potatoe and you'll ruin him!" The kid ended up doing just that. So all you gotta do is hit him on the potatoe, melon, noodle or whatever you want to call it, and you can put all this crap out of your mind.

Now instead of having your imagination work against, have a sense of humor to be your guide. Imagine on your long vision quest before this fight, your spirit image is revealed to be none other than the disembodied head of Roger Mayweather. What would he say? "We gone fug dis muhfug up!" Truer words could not be spoken.

So just relax and pop in some Bob Marley music to put your mind at ease, or if you want to go on the war path, some Pantera will do the trick.

Know that hideous flu that was going around the Northeast,led to a crap load of Pnuemonia?
Feur was barely over it when she fought in Baltimore,the commisioner barely ok'ed her
Ok she lost,but man up for christ sake,your in there to fight

Well no fight. Kid had a last minute emergency family reunion ... Got there and got ducked by another kid too in an exhibition match. 5 years older and lots more fights and wouldn't fight.

My fellow club members both had fights and won, including the main event. Good news is our local rivalry club has a boxer who is young, has similar experience to me, and last night, he KTFO his opponent. Viciously. Showed some good skill and mainly crazy strength. I know about his strength cuz he is my cousin. haha

Was the first time I watched him fight. They didn't match me up with him as he'd been off with an injury for a while and we think they just wanted a diff. match for him. But hey, it looks like he may be one of the most challenging fighters for me in this whole province, and he's right here, no travel. Where the aunts and uncle's stand in the crowd when it happens will be interesting.

You just may get more than you bargained for.
