....and I'll be flying out from the UK to New York and heading to summer camp the next day!
I'm getting pretty excited, but I'll be missing most of the World Cup (Soccer) and of course will miss any boxing thats taking place.
The good news is that I'm gonna be teaching I.T over there, so I will always have access to the internet throughout the day so I shall still be here. Aint you just so happy about that?
Anyway I didn't get onto the course at University because they are all bastards, but this means I won't be in any hurry after camp to get home. SO hopefully I'll get round to Chicago, head south to Memphis then back across east to Louisevill, N. Carolina, Washington, Philly and New York!
So Mike, I'll be sure to let you know my plans on getting to Louisville and Billy I'll be in New York before I leave, so I'll hit you up and we can go and eat and Talk Boxing!
Need to get my big ass rucksack this week and sort stuff out for packing. Pretty exciting times!

MH,at least in the UK the referee does no what the rules they box under,not like the farce that took place with the guy going out of the ring.And the referee changing the decision to suit,so Williams got the win the promoters wanted.
But joking apart the powers to be have to start to clean up a lot of issues with the sport,or it will surely just fade away.It seems to get more outrageous every year with very bad judging,loaded glove,tampering with the gloves,drugs,champions not meeting the top contenders.MH the list goes on and on,like you i love the sport but in my case i am becoming very skeptical as nothing ever seems to be done about the situation.

Lol Dave, not a truer a word spoken! Though over here in the UK we've had a few farces in recent time. McDermott/Fury springs to mind from last year. Actually McDermotts the most unlucky fighter over here. He was robbered twice against Danny Williams also.
A few weeks ago Shinny Bayaar clearly won in his title defense against Ashley Sexton and that was called a draw (Maybe to protect Sexton's 0?).
Totally agree with you though, Dave nothing ever seems to be done about such atrocities.

I think "robbered" is my new favorite word Mike- As one who OFTEN makes stupid typos by thinking faster than they type, I have some sympathy for Tontb on that one.....I've made worse. |
