(no subject)
tonight i sparred 5 rounds against my coach.
afterwards, the coach mentioned that 5 is the most anybody in his gym has lasted in the 7 years he's been coaching. I had the usual bloody nose, but stayed standing and throwing till the bell. I actually knocked the wind out of him once and landed some other good punches. He mentioned to me that local amateur matches are only 3 2 minute rounds (which i never knew they were so short. we have 3 minute rounds with 30 second breaks) and i can make $1000 a fight. competitive boxing was never EVER the plan, but it was a monster boost to my ego and if i'm ever desperate for some money, i know where to go.
