I stayed loyal to my old boxing club even though I knew they weren't getting me the fights I wanted, and I believe needed. This while most of the best fighters left and started up their own club.
What finally did it for me was, I was having a spar with a part time trainer, he started throwing all he had at me while saying I should just go easy. Well, i'm a fighter, and he wasn't much of a boxer, in fact, I found out later he wasn't even certified. Anyway, I am 13 yrs old at the time, and I got kinda pissed catching bombs and I let loose on him. Ended up home later that night covered in blood. And it wasn't mine.
Then they suspend ALL sparring, and he quietly said to me..."It'll be you or me that leaves this place." He denied he said it. LIAR. And says I have to publicly apologise to him.
I left the gym, went to the new gym and it was the best thing I ever did. I went back and apologized when I picked up my Boxing Assoc. card with my new trainer..."I'm sorry I hit you too hard."
Adios. The gym owner and others tried to talk me into staying, but I knew then this was not the place for me. I'm out to fight and to win. Not coddle some old fukkers bruised ego.
Yea, I'm still a little pissed about it.
