I got fucked up today!

Boxed with Sean today. Dude is like 6' 3" and ripped, but only weighs 162, which is pretty close to my weight (167). He's ripped but has long arms. He doesn't hit with nearly the same force as Wega, but it's hard as hell getting in close to someone with long arms, and he would not brawl with me, which is my only option, since he's 5 inches

I dunno. Maybe amateur boxing is not something that should be on my horizon really, because I don't have any desire to get knocked out, I really don't need that kind of punishment.

But really, we're pretty safe, all things considered. Headgear and heavy gloves help a lot, they soften all the blows significantly. If we were fighting with 8 oz gloves like the pros do, we'd really be fucking one another up, with those gloves it's like saran wrap. With 16 oz gloves, everything is much softer.

It's so much fun, ultimately. Pretty soon I'm going to start kickboxing.
