That Manny took it as well as he did was quite a feat.
will do.

Tuesday - 7/19/08.

Liu believes there's nothing like Rick Ross sung with an African accent...

6:55am - Began the morning with HL's of the Cotto/Margarito Fight. Wanted to see how it looked and what the commentators were saying. Cotto looked worse than we thought he did.

7:15am - 2 mile run.

10:30am - Gym Time.

10 minute stretch.

1 round Shadowboxing (Robert Byrd was in the ring and I didn't want to get in his way.)

1 round ring-jacks.

2 more rounds Shadowboxing.

4 rounds Heavybag. Mike seemed pleased with my work, wasn't asking for many corrections at all. Just sucked my shoulder was bugging me, or I could have done even better.

2 rounds double-end bag.

2 rounds speed-bag.

Conditioning:

10 minute stairmaster.

Ab-machine circuit x 2.

8pm - Night Workout: I decided that on Teusdays, Thrusdays, and Saturdays I'm going to do a little extra conditioning.

10 minutes rope skip.

2 rounds Shadowboxing.

50 push-ups.

30 leg-lifts.

10 Hindu push-ups.

Gym Moments:

You know those weird toxic dumps? By toxic I mean you're training, and you feel alright, then something happens and you feel slow, fat, your guts are twisted, then you go and take a shit and all is right with the world again? That happened to me today. Unfortunately by the time I made it in, it was almost time to go.

As I was wrapping up I talked with Mr. Byrd, we went over the fight this past weekend, he said he felt the key was Tony's body work. Took Cotto's strength away. Then I got to tell him he's my favorite referee because of how he immerses himself in the Gym work. He said one of the things it affords him is the ability to get to know TRAINERS. He said often times if he knows a trainer isn't worth a shit, and the Fighter is getting beaten up, he'll stop it. Whereas a better trainer, he feels comfortable they'll help the Fighter between rounds. I'd never thought of that.

Fight Night:

Words can't describe what it was like to be at arguably the most important Welterweight Fight of this generation. It all began with Kessler and cokes as we closed our store, a sombrero, the trip to the MGM, meeting up with Bobby, Jaeger bombs, running into Cisse, Ak, and Jermaine (White) and chatting it up a bit, then on into the Arena:



The crowd reactions were awesome, note the mufucka dressed as the Luchador:



The best part was probably that when Cotto was boxing so well early, the Puerto Ricans were chanting "No se puede!"

Then when Tony was catching up and landing, beating Cotto up, the Mexicans chanted back "Si se puede!"

So if you heard those chants on the broadcast, that's what they were saying.

Oh and hey look, 4 Sherdoggers in one place, doesn't this mean the World will end soon?



That's me, Diego, Adam (Sickening Thudd) and Jake (Glassjaw), we couldn't find Bobby's schmoozin' ass before GJ had to leave. Sorry for the shitty quality, but the kid who took this was too drunk to fix the picture quality, and we were too drunk to care.

Wednesday - 7/30/08.

Liu believes arguments always sound more dramatic when they're in a language you can't underastand...

7am - Began the morning giving Diego his first look at the best pure Boxer in the game now that Mayweather is retired. "Iron Boy" Ivan Calderon. If only he could punch, he'd get far more recognition, but the dude is damn near untouchable, a true throwback to Willie Pep and Niccolino Locche.

Calderon/Dieppa.

7:45am - 1.65 mile run.

10:30am - Gym Time.

We had to fly without Mike today as he was barred from the Gym seeing as he's training Zab Judah, and Clottey is in the Gym at the same time as us.

10 minute stretch.

1 round ring-jacks.

2 rounds Shadowboxing.

3 rounds body-snatcher.

3 rounds Heavybah focusing on body-work and jabbing up and down.

2 rounds double-end bag.

2 rounds speed-bag, my hand-speed was good today.

Conditioning:

40 dips.

30 pull-downs.

30 pull-downs behind-the-neck.

Gym Moments:

Things ain't lookin' good for Clottey as of today. Hope he's good come fight night, I won't say too much because it's very poor form. I'll just say he looks physically ready and able, but physically is only part of fighting right?

I told Mike today that I'd like to start doing only 6 rounds in sparring, no more 4's. Fuck all that noise.

7:45pm - Night workout.

Yeah I know I said Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, but I didn't anticipate sparring day to be interrupted. Since we'll likely be sparring tomorrow, I decided to put in a little jam session tonight.

10 minute rope-skip.

8 minutes shadowboxing.

50 push-ups.

3 minutes step-overs (SUCKED.)

It feels good working out at night again.

Hi KK. Just got through all the 60 pages - that was a great read. Took me a week or so to do it. By the middle of it, I was expecting to read about your first pro fight soon, too bad you haven`t got one yet. However with the work you`ve been putting in, I already kind of feel sorry for your first opponent. Good luck with your career.
P.S.
I read that Kaspars Kambala also trains at Top Rank. As you know he was one of our national basketball team key players and is greatly missed in Latvia.
If you have any info, could you please tell how is his training coming along ? How it looks - does he has what it takes to make a new career as a pro boxer?
Thanx.

Thanks for the support. I'll write more about me fighting later (probably Saturday), because I actually have something to say on that.

However, about Kaspars, sometimes he trains at Top Rank and sometimes he trains elsewhere. Richard Steele tries to get him a lot of difficult sparring to sort of speed him into the game. Kaspars is a nice guy, and from what I've seen of him in the Gym and the ring, THAT'S what holds him back. He's athletic enough and better coordinated than Tye Fields, but he really needs to delve into the fundamentals of Boxing and facilitating his strengths. If he coasts along with the idea that he'll do this because he's big, and can't play basketball anymore, he'll be hurt by someone who WANTS to take his head off. But it's up to him, Tye got pretty far with less going for him.

I think you screamed that in the ear of an old man playing the slots.
