    Ill keep an eye out for this kid, sounds like hes living his dream. Im sure hes thankful to have people like you who gave him an opportunity, especially this early into his career. Fighters never forget where they come from, where they first learned the fundementals, and the people who taught them how to use their natural abilities to suceed in boxing.

    Good to know that he likes boxing more than football. There are only very few who choose boxing than football. Looking forward to this kid..

    Yeah he knows his boxing for sure...His idol is Larry Holmes...One night about 2 years ago we brought him to a local show in Saratoga (Think it was Maddalone/Miller) when Pugnacious promotions a local promoter started out...

    He meets Gerry Cooney in between fights Gerry was smoking a Cigar outside so we introduced him....All he kept asking about was Larry,,,How hard does he hit...etc....So Gerry (A guy with a better then average Jab himself) ask Trevor to show him his jab....Gerry was pretty impressed...Takes his coat off and shows Trevor a few things....The gives him Larry's cell phone # and told him to tell Larry Gerry gave him the #....

    Gerry called Larry I guess th next day told him about Trevor and the fact he was his idol, and that he gave the kid his cell#...

    He calls Larry a few days later Homes was expecting the call...He speaks with Larry on a semi regular basis...Holmes told him when ever he is ready he will show him how to perfect the jab like he did....(Not to train him or anything just show him how he threw his jab when he was the cahampion)...Never seen a kid so happy.....

    He has a hell of a jab and tries to style himself after Holmes...Trevor hits harder though naturally but not a bad man to style yourself after..

    Best tjhing about the kid is he has manners, he appreciates everything he learns...positive attitude

    Sounds like a good natured guy. Thats a good story, and sounds like Holmes is a good guy to look up to taking the time to get to know the kid. Definately a good guy to model the jab after. He did have one of the best.

    Thats some nice stuff Daxx.Might be seeing a diamond in the ruff right there.Sounds like he has a genuine grasp on who he is & wants to be and is very level headed,Just as important as that sharp jab he is polishing.Surely he can build on both of those foundations and achieve his goals.Love that answer...."Fear of becoming too one dimensional",Thats refreshing.

    I was about to say 6'3 and 250 he needs to lose 20. I hope to hear from this kid soon. He's at NMU? I think it pretty much snows year round around there. That's a good thing; he won't have anything to do but train.
