Brocktonblockbuster vs Charlie Zelenoff, now that's the fight I wanna see.

[brocktonblockbust]

I went to Starbucks here in Korea, but all they had was plastic spoons. So I went ahead and did a little of the xercise, but the plastic cracked or maybe chipped a bit in the left nostril, and drew some blood. Plus the CCTV was on and I felt like an idiot.

You stuck a plastic spoon up your nose and got a nosebleed? Is this what you call training for your big fight? Get away from that coffee man and get down to the local gym. You will need more than plastic spoons to beat these hordes of non-punching WW's.

[brocktonblockbust]

I stuck it partially up, not all the way, but it says on Yahoo that capillaries are right there as soon as you enter the nose, you don't have to go all the way up in order to get a nose bleed.

Man, I said hit it on the bridge of your nose, you know like the exterior. Not shove it up there! Man, you're making me doubt you now Triple B. If you can't deal with simple conditioning instructions, how are you going to cope with listening to what your cornerman is telling you?

You were telling him to slap his nose with plastic spoons? I don't know who's more eccentric. The man in the coffee shop shoving the spoons up his nose or the man telling him to get a spoon and hit himself on the nose with it. What happened to just using the spoon to stir the coffee?

It's a well-known conditioning technique. All the greats have done it. Many also do it on the chins. Just imagine how good Mayweather could have been if he'd spent years banging spoons on his nose & chin rather than learning all that silly little stuff like parrying & slipping. And yet he gets into the Hall of Fame while Brocktonblockbust sits in Starbucks with a plastic spoon up his nose. The world just isn't fair.

That your average boxing fan for ya!

miles is omewhat right there, but yu guys have it all wrong you know---I DID follow the instructions, tablespoon-sized spoons will NOT enter the nostril, so had to use teaspoons. Actually teaSPOON because I never got around to the 2nd spoon as the left nostril started bleeding a bit.

Yeah, but you don't stick it up the nostril, just bang it on the bridge of the nose. I've heard that Sugar Ray Leonard did this so that he would be able to take punches off Hearns & outlast him. C'mon Triple B, do you want to be a CHAMPION?

Also with being 185 pounds and lifting weights, you really need to lose a bit of that bulk, BBB. You are just too big and strong right now, so no way will a WW get in the ring with you. They would likely be scared to death by your girth. Stop eating that galbi and stick to the rice.
