Bazookas Blue and Gold National Tournament Log

[Bazooka]

One week left, One week and the tournament is here one week and its on like Donkey Kong.

My kid has been doing better than expceted in sparring the last two weeks, his weight is at 146, I had though I could bring him down to 141 since his last fight he was around 144.

its not happening, I had called and made an adjustment and moved him up to welter weight. I am not worried, 152 is the top out so we are right in the middle. He is fucking strong right now, I feel it when I come home from the gym every night.

My elbows are killing my my body is sore, its all good. Honestly I am not nervous at all, Maybe a little bit but its stored some where in the back of my mind, Right now I am not even thinking anything but execution at this point, its as if I am fighting.

Our Training has been like this for the last 7 weeks

4 Rounds Shadow Boxing

4 Rounds heavy bag

4 Rounds Double End bag

4 Rounds Mitt work

3 rounds of Speed bag Non stop for the full three

3 Rounds of Skipping Rope non stop for the full three

another 4 rounds of Shadow boxing

This is Tuesdays and thursdays work out

We spar three times a week M W and Friday, on those days we have been sparring 6-8 rounds full sparring, so the work out changes up No mitts or Heavybag routines those days its replaced with Sparring.

We have two more sparring sessions, Friday and sneaking an extra one in on Saturday.
Next week starting monday its all light work in the gym basicly half the work out, let them rest a little come Wed we weigh in and thursday the 3rd is our first fight in the tournament.

our road work is done at 430 am 5 miles with a good quarter mile in the end that is up hill....:good

[Bazooka]

Todays work was near perfect, nice cool down routines, staying lose focusing on the game plan and execution, He is looking very sharp the last two weeks each day in the gym and in sparring he has gotten a little bit better each time out.

My confidence is there, not over confident I just beleive in the work we have put in I know the last 7 and a half weeks we have put in 100% each step of the way.

Countdown starts now~

[Bazooka]

Last day in the gym today, Tomorrow weigh in is at Noon, The draw is to follow. From there its all business, we are focused Confident and ready.
Snuck in an extra sparring session and we are still sharp, everything is a Go.
its time for Fucking War~

[Bazooka]

Started waking up about 430, my mind was racing went down stairs made some coffee, did a quick count of our gear Gauze, Tape, Ice bag...
Waking the kid up in about another 2 hours, let him skip some rope for a bit before we head down there.

Weigh in starts at noon, after the weigh in and registration we have the draw this could be an all day thing..

Thank you, all.

Weighed in at 150 though I weighed him here at home on a Tanita scale and he was 147 not bitching just throwing it out there.

There are three so far in our weight class the draw is at six pm tonight I will be leaving in an hour I hope we do not get a walk over, I would like to fight tomorrow night, there is a chance we may have to wait until friday, But I would love to fight tomorrow.

I will keep you posted...

[Bazooka]

The draw took six hours, damn I was spent, good morning all we have a fight tonight, bit of sad news the kid we fought in our first amateur bout took his life recently....
He seems to still be focused, the kid we ended up being matched with has been mad dogging us at the draw, its time to show him whats up...
Video wont be posted until this is over...

[Bazooka]

The weigh in starts in just over an hour, then we see the Dr, from there I feed him and get him ready for the fight, just ten mins ago his mother sent him a text "remember I didnt raise no bitch protect yourself but let your hands go"

We won~ we are advancing to the Semi Finals on Saturday Morning, he did a good job but made some errors along the way but honestly dominated, he just allowed this guy to kinda push him in to the ropes, but he didnt get hit with anything.

He dropped him in the first round, they ruled it a slip for some reason, and from there on pretty much just continued to score nearly everything he threw. The guy he fought seemed to have been really nervous almost as if he were having a panic attack...

Anyhow we advanced and thats whats important, He has to fight a much better fight next time out.... He didnt do horrible or anything he just IMO I think he was looking for the knock out and that caused him to make some mistakes...

[Bazooka]

5:41 pacific

About to serve up some dinner grilled chicken and some rice, with Veggies steamed carrots..

Tomorrow the weigh in is at 7 am, we worked out light at the gym today maybe about six rounds real light to stay lose and basicly go over our game plan for tomorrow... (Wont revel that just yet as I found some videos on the web that will help us in this fight)

This is going to be a tuff fight, this kid likes to brawl he won last night by stoppage. We will not make the same mistakes that those who fought him made...

My kid weighs 148 now, thats due to the fight he had so weight is not going to be a concern, its time for him to rest and relax....

[Bazooka]

The card starts at noon, weighed in this morning at 147 didnt have to avoid fluids or water he ate a good 3 meals with 4 snacks as well, and drank plenty of water.
We are good to go~ Semi Finals today, if we advance we will be fighting for all the marbles god willing.

[Bazooka]

Fell short on the score cards lost by a point there was a spread of two points, infact we fought someone that was not in our braket they switched it up on us for some reason I thought once they pull the draw thats who you fight apparently not........

[HairyHighlander]

He did well, our fight yesterday we were out boxing him the 1st two rounds, the last round we gave it up really we beat ourselves, however we got a standing 8 count for a shot to the elbow, perhaps its cus we were also on the ropes but it wasnt even hard at all... it was very light.

Then he got another one for taking a tap on the shoulder, we lost the fight in the 3rd, however I did ask the kid for a rematch he said he would so hopefully we will see him in October, if not its all good. Take this as a learning experience and move on we advanced the the semi finals, we didnt get our asses beat, we didnt get stopped, we did not get hurt, and we did whip someones ass the 1st fight and we boxed okay in our last fight.

Over all as a trainer I am proud as a father I am honored.:thumbsup
