My uncle taught me to box when I was 9. I liked it. But at that time I liked running the streets a little bit better. By the time I was 15 I had pretty much stopped going to the gym. I would always think about picking it back up and see how far I could go. But never did. Than at 18 I got shot 5 times and that pretty much ended that idea. That was like 10 years ago. In total I had 22 amateur fights. With a record of 17-2-3. I got a heavy bag and speed bags set up in my basement. And once in awhile I'll spar at the gym. But that's it. I should of dedicated myself to my boxing growing up. But I didn't. Nothing I can do about it now. But It's a good thing I got 3 young sons.
