My dream is to be a club fighter like my boy Spider Rico...I would love to show the world that my chin is average...maybe I can take a few shots...maybe I get hit hard and get woozy...man all of that too me would be spectacular!
isnt he the guy from rocky 1 in the opening scene?
Yup and he was one of the classiest club fighters ever as well...think about it he gave Rock won hell of a fight and busted him up pretty bad in the process...Rock holds wins over Apollo Creed, Ivan Drago, Clubber Lang and a street fight win against Tommy.
Spider's promoter should be shot, he had a guy with talent and he let it slip away!
Going pro and becomming world champion, 100% sure, that's what i want. I know it's very difficult but as long as it is not immposible im sure that if i want it bad enough, i can get it. And that's my goal.
to anyone thinking about becoming a pro fighter I say this just as Greg Rice, one of my trainers used to say. Stay in school. Fighting in the amatuers is fun. If you happen to win a state title than good, if you win a national then you might consider turning pro. There are guys out there that only had a handfull of amatuer fights and went on to do good things in the professionals but it is rare. More times than not they end up just becoming the opponent, a punching bag for $1500. James Toney and I fought out of the same amatuer club and then later the same pro stable, he might have had 10 amatuer fights that i know of. It is possible to do good but you must consider the risks of professional boxing. Its not what you might gain but more of what you might lose. Ones mental capacity is ones world. In the amatuers that world stays for the most part intact. 10-12 oz amatuer gloves hurt but dont do much damage. In the pros you will be warring with highly trained fighters with 6-8oz gloves and no head gear. You are given only one mind to live this life with, consider that before considering becoming a professional........Rockin'
