Good work, RDJ.

Do you still have a bout coming up?

Good work, RDJ.

Do you still have a bout coming up?

Yes, but I got delayed a bit. I'll still be fighting very soon.

[RDJ]

I will fight in February, I had a word with my trainer today. Perhaps there will be a fight gala sooner, but February is certain, because that's when the regional tournament is.

Thu Oct 16

As always 5 mile bike ride to the gym, medium intensity. Warmed up for half an hour, jump rope and shadowboxing. Then did 3 rounds of 3 minutes in the ring, same guy as yesterday. Did better, but I'm kinda bruised up anyway. Gave him a little mouse next to his eye as well After that did about 6 rounds on the bag. Then a punch out drill: 30 seconds,1 minute, 2 minutes and finally 3 minutes continuous punching. Cooled down, and biked back home with a slight detour, 7 miles perhaps.

Fri Oct 17

Biked 18 miles, high intensity. Perhaps I'll run tonight, but not if it rains. The weather sucks at the moment.

Mon Oct 20

Five miles bike ride to the gym. Half an hour jump rope to get warm. Two rounds of shadowboxing. Two rounds on the bag. Four rounds of sparring. Four more bag rounds. A bag punchout drill to finish things. Skipped the cooling down, just did some rotating. Biked 5 miles back home at high velocity.

Sparring went ok against some, not too good against another. Had to spar one of the co-trainers. My jab worked well, doubled up on it, threw it to the body as well. Landed a few right straight, a right uppercut, a few left hooks. I could see in his face he was getting annoyed, and I knew it was only a matter of time before something would come back. He has fast hands, out of nowhere I got hit on the temple. Didn't even have time to retreat my extended left arm. Made me a little dizzy, which hurt my ego a bit I guess

I had to spar a fat guy as well, for some reason he got into the ring with us despite outweighing all of us by about 80 pounds, 4 (light) welterweights and then there's a 220 pound fat fuck. Made no sense to me but fuck it. Jabbed him silly, landed right hands and left hooks at will. Then the fat man tries to hit me behind the head with a right hook, putting all his weight behind it. He failed, but that was some low Sam Peter shit. To be continued I guess.

Decided not to box, so I drove the bike instead. Short route, only 18 miles, but at high pace.

Wed Oct 22

As always 10 miles back and forth to the gym. Fifteen minutes warm up. Two rounds on the bag. Got called into the ring for two rounds, they were rotating some of us to give another guy a good workout he has an important match coming up. First round I was not quite warm, so I was a little slow and stiff. Second round went great, I may be falling in love with my own defense. Unfortunately I had to make way for someone else, it wasn't about me. Did a few more rounds on the bag, rotated and shook loose my limbs and got on the bike again.
