Fight ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Trainer Monkey]

Sounds fantastic

She must be feeling a bit emotional right now - would've been such a roller coaster with it on and off again all the time - must be a bit surreal to have it finally come through and happen so suddenly!

What's a puddle hopper?

Actually she's pretty mellow,shes off in the living room watching Kickboxer for dumb fun,thankfully Im the buffer from the buisness end
We're feeling better about this then Toughman,where you have no earthly clue whats going to show up,and you have to fight two nights straight.We know what we're getting here,fight on Friday,back home on Saturday
A puddle hopper is a very short flight,and a small plane,LA to Sacramento is only 8 hours by car,so no matter what kind of plane your in,youll barely be in the air before you touch down

All good.

I guess everyone else is so tired from making the match now that you're just ready to enjoy it without a lot of stress too. Have fun!

You kidding,its my girls first pro fight,Im just trying to downplay
She's cool, me,if I dont throw up tommorrow morning,itll be a minor miracle,Im so stressed
Im allways over stressed when I got a fighter in the ring,I take very few fighters,and I care strongly about every single one

[Sharla]

You know you've trained her well. She'll be fine You're her rock - can't get too nervous in front of her if you can help it.

Naww its cool,she knows Im allways like this
If I didnt care like my life depended on it,I wouldnt be the trainer I am.
Of course the downside is as Leslie tells every fighter interested in joining the gym "He's never happy"
Our big splurge for me is probably going to be a t-shirt that out there,thats got a picture of Mickey from Rocky say "Yer A BUM"

[Greig]

Got that shirt mate. It's a good un...


Good luck for the fight.

[Trainer Monkey]

We're in her head now
She's got a new song on her Myspace page

[Sharla]

You're joking! She made up a song about the bout?

That's just begging to be humiliated if you loose isn't it.

After she'd be like - yeah um I said that I was the greatest and I'd never loose and she was blah, blah, blah but ....."

No matter how confident i could never risk something like that! Nor would I want to be known for it win or loose!

[Chris Nagel]

When's the fight? You be sure to let us know how the fight goes. It'd feel great by itself to shake Joe Fraziers hand.

[Trainer Monkey]

Couldnt believe it myself Sharla
Chris,aint it cool

[Chris Nagel]

It'd be kick a**. I'd like to hear if he anything to say. Even a "Nice fight kid." would be enough to put springs in your feet. I wish her good luck, and may she knock the other girl right on her butt.

I haven't been on n a few days but it looks like u got it all work out. Good for u & ur people. I guess that u have ur corner situation straight to. If not, PM me & I can call some of my prople out there if it would help u out.

The advice that I have for ur girl is that she will be nervous, scared, etc... especially since it's her debut. But I promise u that the other girl is having the same feelings. It will probably be hard to go to sleep the night before the fight, & there will be a roller coaster of emotions/fellings. But like I said, no matter how calm the other girl looks she's feelin the same things. Also tell her that she has no pressure. This other girl is supposedly the favoriite & is goin 2 be fightin in front of (I assume) many of her people. All of the pressure is on her. Tell her to go out there, don't pay any attention to anything that's outside of those ropes except for her corner. Make beleive that it's a empty gym & she's doin what she likes to do. She's sparring @100% with smaller gloves & no headgear. She should fight this fight the way that she trains. Don't do any new things, do what she has been trained to do.

I wish u & ur team the best & I hope that there's something in here that can help her mantality. U let her know that this advice isn't from some scrub, it's from a guy that's been around the block. Good luck bro.

[Trainer Monkey]

Steve Maestes is working her corner,so good quality there,lots of experience.
We were definitly more worried about Toughman,where its multiple days of fighting,and you have no clue whats coming,or whos working your corner.And what was coming was the 06 and 05 champions,Leslie had to go through them both.
She's on her way now
But true to form,I just got done hurling
