    Never tried it. I was too busy playing softball and bowling. Yes bowling.

    Plus my boobs are probably too big for boxing, they probably would have gotten in the way, and be too much of a target.

    i was at best good domestic fighter but nothing more, i would have loved fighting at world championship level but it wasnt to be wasnt good enough. Once i got injuries that limted me even more that was it really, had surgery, then injection to help calm the probs but should have ended before then. I help boxers train these days and show them ways to do things that hopefully avoid them from getting same type of injuries that finished me.

    Ive been competing as an amatuer for years and heard from numerous trainers ( In Jin Chi's trainer in particular ) that i have the style to be a successful pro but the reason why I dont head to the big leagues are two reasons.

    1. I love Boxing but I just dont feel the need to take punches for a living because I already make decent money.

    2. Not to sound like a tool or anything but everyone around me , especially the girls, always told me that my prettyboy face is one of my biggest assets so I just dont want to mess it up and end up like Mickey Rourke.. fuck that..

    Im going to be a bigtime promoter one day though..

    One of my girl friends back in my college days had enormous boobs, even when she was in high school. She told me this sad story about not being allowed on the girls HS swimming team because her breasts were too big. They would have created 'drag' and slowed down her swimming times in competition.

    As for bowling, it's a lot of fun, I havn't done it in years, I used to have a good average.

    I gotta agree with ruthless rocco, i've always been more of a lover then a fighter. Actually getting in fights (unless you have to) has always seemed stupid to me.

    Because I have a glass jaw. I have a big head, like I needed to tell you lot,and probably a tiny brain that bounces around like a pea in a bucket. When I was best man at my mates wedding the suit hire assistant said" it appears we do not have a top hat to fit you in store, we will have to order one in sir, you have a different sized head." consequently in the couple of stupid fights I have gotten into as an adult, it has not taken much to render me unconscious.

    because it took me two years to realise I was shit. However, honestly, the last straw was getting hit flush in the nose by a southpaw (took two years to happen) and realising I was too pretty to box and end up with a bent nose never went back after that day..
