    Default Big fight for me on saturday!!!

    I am taking on a 6 foot 3 unbeaten southpaw lol. Hes 4-0 but hes had amatuer fights when he was a bit younger as well. I sparred the last guy who I boxed who was a southpaw, the former professional who I found out had over 200 amatuer fights and boxed for the Turkish national squad. Also I have been sparring with former professional Lee Crossland and both were impressed with me. My fitness is spot on, feeling fit and ready for it...I just need to give it 110% on the night. Im going to his hometown in Huddersfield so its going to be a tough ask, but theres no pressure on me that I should get a win. However Ive got pressure on myself that I want this win so much and I lost my last fight and I dont intend on making losing a habit.

    Im also fighting the friday after that in Liverpool and the week after that in a hometown show in Southport. Both these fights wont be as hard as the first one but still challenges.

    You are doing great with this boxing career, Tam. You are proving that when someone sets their sights on something they jolly well can and you are doing it the hard way too by fighting awkward types at different weights. You have a good mindset in that loss makes you hungrier. It's old school.

    Cheers mate, Ive never taken an ass whooping and every fight has been a learning curve for me. Ive only ever lost by the closest of margins and a few of them were debatable as well. Im more motivated than ever now Im boxing at 13 stone and ready to crack on with some great fights. Cant wait for saturday, just a bit of a shame hes a southpaw. The other two opponents are orthodox though so that should be better for me.

    Not another southpaw. What are you playing at?

    Avoid those mutants they have an unfair advantage.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    All the best Tam. I'm curious to know if ,now that you've sparred with the Turkish guy , you find him less awkward now and could work him out a bit better in a rematch?
    I'm no pro, and I'll probably get laughed at, but my mindset would be that in the mind of that southpaw, you're unorthodox, if that makes sense. Give it your best bud.

    Didn't find out till the week before the fight ! I've had better preparation for them this time though.

    We are friendly now, don't see any point in a rematch. I'll learn more from sparring with him.
