Have to give up the fags and booze as only 45 days to go until the big fight. Training has started in earnest and it is a punishing regime with three sessions which are an hour long each week and a sparring session each Saturday. In between work, my accountancy course and the training I have no time off. This is now my life for the next 45 days. I am already looking forward to day 46.
Now I am learning a few things about myself. One is that I actually quite enjoy getting hit in the face. When I say enjoy I mean I don’t mind it that much. Apparently gingers have a higher pain threshold anyway, I always thought there had to be some kind of justice in this world.
Something else I have discovered is that the surge of adrenalin you get before the fight is one of the biggest buzzes I have ever had. Your heart rate goes sky high before you get in the ring and you have to battle to control this. However when the fight begins and you are in the ring it is all just rage and hate for me at the moment. This is something I must control as this can easily be used by your opponent to their advantage as the red mist taints your judgment. After the fight is over it is a relief and you feel no animosity to your combatant as, after all, it is only a sport.
Am I good enough to win? Well time will tell but I believe I can. I am not fast enough yet but I have power and I am not afraid.
