retired, both from boxing and from his day job.
but he taught me something different.
He taught me how to fight. (The lesson here ends)

These were all as I knew, retired fighters.... (you are not apart of history yet)

"now bring back another one next year." . (Fly son FLy)

"We'll talk to you again he said" and closed the door in my face.(Your chapter is just begining)

care of his fighters and cared. (Even in dealing out the hard lessons)

I remained and always credited him for my victories.
When I think about it, I was the one that allowed his repuatation to remain unscathed, because I fought for him really. (YOu have to fight for YOU son)
stayed until he was applauded for partaking in the preparation for my Championship fight and then closed the door on my face. (I said FLY, bring it on home, DO it again just for YOU this time.


Reading between the lines.
He realizes that you fought for him.
HE just did you another massive favour and the largest lesson in your life.
You just got shunted out of a nest ,and told to fly for your own benifit.
I expect he also may of not wanted to be seen as at all emotional on this day specially amongt other retirees and on camera,
maybe he's like that in life ..A pro doing what pros do best ;their best possible job for others .
I think its a blessing in disguise.

Made me meaner anyhow...
I sent him a retirement card wishing himself and his wife well, I don't hold anythin against him, but at the end of the day a good trainer fighter relationship is based on respect, I always respected and treated him well.
