"The Windmill"

Believe it or not, I was at one time a boxer.....


I had a three year career in the sport and had many hardfought matches. My opponents might have been my friends and the ring might have been my neighbor's driveway, but that's neither here nor there. Beginning my freshman year in high school my friends got the brilliant idea to buy two sets of boxing gloves and hold monthly matches in my culd-a-sac. After my first fight I earned the nickname "the windmill" due to my patented overhand punch that was highly unsuccessful and according to my friends humorous to behold. For three years my friends and I fought against each other after school and order pay-per-view boxing matches on the weekends.


I decided to go into retirement from boxing after one of our friends broke his nose in a match. That and the fact that I was absolutely terrible at boxing. Even though I didn't turn boxing into a profession, I still watch matches frequently to this day. During the course of this semester I'm going to update this blog with the latest boxing news and reviews of major fights. Hopefully after reading this you will learn to love boxing as I have.
