Sometimes you have to do the right thing by somebody,for no other reason then that its the right thing
Ya know what TM...I believe you. From seeing Andrew's last fight, where he talked about all his training and stuff, then came in and couldn't even stand up for a full round, to be frank...I wasn't too sold it wouldn't be the same and just expected more BS. He looked hella better this time around, and IMO I think he won also. So if you played a part in that happening, then you deserve credit for it. As does Andrew. He gave what appears a good honest effort.Quote:

$200?
Good for you Trainer Monkey for waving your percentage this time.
I'm sure you was well worth that $20 bucks.
Naw just give the credit to Andrew,because of the distance nobody,and I do mean nobody believed he'd put in the work I asked of him since I wasnt there to bark in his ear 24/7,but he obviously did it.Quote:

We've just got to brush our trunks off and go back to work at the end of the week is all.
He got jobbed,it happens,he came along way though. Im proud as a pappa at how he looked,and he'll look damned better next time.
Poor boy,he was worried Id take away his week off(one of my rules,if you look like you put the effort in for your fight,you can take the week off as a reward,eat what you want,dont work out,I dont care,you just fought)Im proud of him,he still needs alot of work,but if nothing else I think he proved he's willing to do it.
Its what they pay in Arkansas,and trust me Ive called everybody out of state,and until that record improves,nobodies willing to book him just on travel expenses alone,lord knows Ive tried,but it aint happening. I mean I understand,Im sure most promoters can find a 2-15 fighter in their back yard who they can get cheap. Why pay for travel on top of it?Quote:

I can count ..so when I count punches in the first and second rounds Andrew gets it ( even with the count off for pushing back ) ( the ones that connected that is ) now lets discuss that hillbilly freakin 3 rd round ..Andrews body is OBVIOUSLY outside of that ring micro knew as did drew you know micro knew it because he obviously held back on the punches one good punch would have sent Drew through those ropes and broke his neck so I cannot count any of the punches thrown in that very very long minute ( and trust me for His mom that was a VERy long minute) and for the life of me I cannot understand why it wasnt called the 4th round very close a draw there. Thease are only My opinions and Im sure they will be discounted under the assumption that Im his mother ( by the way I dont live in a trailer park lol ) and secondly because Im a novice in the boxing arena what Im not is blind or stupid
someone made a comment about why all the fuss for a "trailer park title" ?
personaly hate the idea of Drew boxing but I do know he loves it it makes him feel good to do well ( sadly he doesnt always) but he gets up and tries again when you have that much heart for a sport its worth a LIL FUSS
Thanks for Listenin
got any pics? :hubbahubba:Quote:

We'll just stick it up everyones nose when he whups him next time out. Andrew will tell you,I look at my boxers like my kids,thats why I hand pick them.
Another arm gets raised next time out,that would be Andrew's
LOL My pic is on my slugout profile
I hope so Trainer gonna ride his ass down here as well
and PSSSS
the video that was "leaked" was actually a video taken by a family friend on his phone he gave family and friends access to his personal site so that we could see it early the next morn ( nothing shady was going on )
just gotta have the right connections in this family lol
Oh trust me,I know who took it,and if I hadnt changed my mind about filing a formal complaint,which I almost did,that footage would have been exhibit A). Its just footage,nothing more,nothing less. It certainly wasnt supposed to get leaked. Andrew was sitting on it like a mother goose,so I have no idea how it got out. It certainly wasnt cut at all except that it had to be round by round for size.Quote:

Andrew may not type as well as everyone else,but then again that could be said of alot of people, but noone can deny he's a really good kid. Im going to keep doing everything I can for him.
Now that we have you here...can you tell us some funny stories from Andrew's childhood?
Ya know, like goofy stuff you caught him doing and so on? Anything?
I think it would really help in personalizing him.
We don't get too many moms of members on here, so this is kinda precedent setting me thinks. Please? :)
Thanks TM I appreciate it and I know He does as well
The video wasnt leaked it was only shared with family and friends such as yourself I just saw that someone asked and thought something shady had happened as you know it didnt myself and a few others always take video

LOL really? On his head? :pQuote:
