ryanman, thank you so much for showing it and then letting me know what your friends thought from an exercise point of view. That means a lot to me.

Last Friday I smashed my thumb pretty bad building something so several days had to go by before the swelling went down a bit. I sure missed boxing against the RBT and yesterday I was able to do it again and bare the thumb pain. I look forward to it that much. Like you said, it is amazing how much more of a workout it is punching AND trying not to get hit. I can only do about 4 rounds because my shoulders are screaming by then. I can see why boxers going many rounds get sloppy. Still, they show what great shape they are in to go that long.
