Yeah you'll kill 'em with your work ethic. "Rest, rest, slack, rest."

HA! We'll see KK, we will see.

BTW I was looking at your boxrec site and found the two pro's I train with. They are:

That guy who fought was one tough good SOB so don't write him off for that loss. I used to do focus mitt drills with him. Don't spar him because he punches too hard. Good guy. He hasn't trained with us for a while though.

The second guy is http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php...5222&cat=boxer
This is the guy I train with regularly. He kicks my ass in sparring. Good fighter. He got a draw with the Australian bantamweight champ recently.

You need to get him a new nickname. Emmanuel that is.

Here is a piece on wes' last fight:

Wes is on the right

HEADLINE identity, zDravko Micevic made a strong professional boxing debut to thump game Queenslander, Wes Ryder over six three-minute rounds in the main event at Darebin in north-east Melbourne on Friday April the 13th.

zDravko (the z is silent) won on the judges’ cards by 8, 8 and 7 points.

A powerful Serbian faction in the full house of 800 spectators chanted "Go - go - Mich - e - vich!", and stomped feet, as their man whaled away at Ryder.

zDravko Micevic was Australian League champion and beat Daniel Porky Lovett in his amateur career, but had been out of the boxing ring for some years. He got the scent of leather sparring with Commonwealth Games boxers a year ago.

His opponent, Wes Ryder, was announced to the Darebin audience as reigning super-heavyweight champion of Australian Global. A Queensland Global identity told FOL that Wes was not one of that organisation?s active stars.

Ryder was, however, a credit to Bananaland for the stout opposition he put up to the local hero at Darebin.

Wes was a suitable debut opponent for Micevic who will become a big drawcard if soundly - but not softly - matched.

Mark Zielinski, the Narooma shrewd man, was impressed. "I have not seen a novice punch and throw combinations off the back foot like zDravko for a long time," Ziggy enthused.

And here is a article on Emmanuels last fight:

Emmanuel is on the right...

The big-hitting boxer from Cairns was below his best in the clash but still was presented with numerous opportunities to down Micallef who managed to hold off a number of Mundraby flurries to clinch the draw.

Mundraby showed all the speed and slickness that has seen him rise straight to the top of the bantamweight division, but could not execute with many of his brutal hooks and uppercuts coming out too late and allowing the Brisbane boxer the chance to move.

Despite maintaining his unbeaten record, Mundraby was bitterly disappointed with his form and said he didn't deserve to win the fight.

"That was disappointing, I thought he should have won to be honest," he said.

"He was all in my face, I could have had him.

"I went for the big shots but they just weren't coming off."

Mundraby was geared to fight in Cairns in November, but was surprised with the call-up to the Townsville fight yesterday.

He said the limited preparation had affected his fitness with the champion boxer entering the fight slightly over his normal weight.

"(Promoter) Dennis (Clancy) called me a few weeks ago and I just wasn't ready, I've had some time off and I just wasn't fit enough," he said.

"It's disappointing, I wanted to keep my record as clean as possible."

Jesus Christ, when I said Boxing was desolate in Australia I didn't think it was THIS bad:

Uh huh, suuuuure you're gonna get this rolling again.

*books trip to Australia*

Hey Liu,

I appreciate you are showing interest in my log. The problem is our club STILL has not started boxing for the season again. I don't know what is going on. I am not going to call my trainer because i feel something must be up. He said they were going to have a long break but I never though it would be this long. I am pretty pissed off about it all.

I have a heavybag, speed-bag and double end bag and shit at home but just don't know what to do without the direction of my trainers. I can get bad habits and have no variety without mitts, sparring and partner drills. It would be kind of pointless to just log roadwork and bodyweight exercises only.

David Bolton · 02-08-2008, 02:22 AM

This is hard to explain but....

So I messaged my coach. And yeah, something is the fuck up. He messaged back and part of the message said "We have decided not to train amateur boxers anymore". This is really fucked up. I feel sick to my stomach. I was great friends with these trainers. They were always really enthusiastic about training me. We were going along great. And now they don't want to train amateur boxers? I take that as an insult. That they don't give a fuck about training me anymore. And to top it all of they didn't even tell me this sooner. So I have been sitting on my ass wondering what has been going on for weeks.

So now I am fucking boxing gymless.

What a fucking nice start to my weekend.
