The truth is I really don't know much. I know my way around a ring, and I know my way around a gym, but as far as the professional side of things go, when I showed up here at Saddos I didn't even know who Pac was, barely who Mayweather was, and certainly less about near everyone else in the sport.

But I could fight, and I loved it.

Coming to Saddos and other online forums has been my education in learning the sport. I learn the most from the fans. The people who have favorite fighters, who know it's history, or are maybe just weekend fans like so myself too and many are. I learn from sports writers, historians, officials, coaches trainers online, but overall, the most I learn regarding boxing I learn from the fans. The ones with both little and lots of knowledge. I learn not just knowledge, but what makes them tick. That I believe is important to know, especially for anyone who might be considering it for a living long term.

So all in all, in learning to train and fight...I learn most of that in the gym. But learning the sport, how it works, the fighters, the history, divisions, who's who and what's what, and to hear it's heart beat...that I get from places just like Saddos here, and the fans who are on the boards sharing and often wearing their hearts on their sleeves..
