Okay, finally! Here is a good picture of the fight promo that is circulating for the bouts on July 12. My name appears towards the bottom, not sure if that part will come through well enough for everyone to see. Getting nervous, people!!

Happy First Day Of Summer!
The first day of summer is always very bittersweet. It's great because, hello, it's the first day of Summer! And the longest day of the year! But it also marks the beginning of when the days start to shorten. The sun will set tonight at 8:29pm, and from here on out, that will shorten up minute by minute, until we set the clocks back in November.
I wish I had a good pic of the poster for the July 12 fight, because my name actually appears as one of the fighters towards the bottom. When I saw this at the gym on Wednesday, my stomach did a little flip of nerves and excitement. It now seems very real indeed!!
As I type this the Cubs and Sox are tied 1-1. Go CUBS!!!

GOING FOR 10 STRAIGHT!!!
Ok, let's talk some baseball for a moment: So I'm really trying not to get too excited about the Cubs' 2008 season, because we all know what happens when we start to anticipate a winning Chicago season-----heartache and depression. However, having said that, the Cubs are looking so good, and are 3.5 games ahead in First Place in their division. And how fitting would it be to go to the World Series this year, since it was exactly 100 years ago, in 1908, that they last played and won a World Series title. While some of the pitching scares me still, the key hits and patient at-bats of every player on this team shows fans that they are hungry for a ring!!!!
Training is progressing. At the end of each week, though, I am starting to feel that I am 31 years old. How sad is that? My knees creak and click constantly, and I understand why you don't see many boxers over 35. It really takes its toll on your body. While the workout is amazing, the stress on your joints is pretty intense. My lower back has been a mess for about the past week, which is something new. There has been talk that I may have a small, what's called a "tune-up" fight, on June 19....but that is not set in stone yet.
