[Sportsandrec] Boxing Tips?

[Everett Gavel]

Hello Justin, and all

Yes, I'll be in Detroit.  And I'll tell you, since I have not heard from one
person since getting back on this list, about the 'skating canes,' despite
numerous mentions from me, and since we're not exactly being encouraged to
skate anyway, I probably won't, now.  I'd have to find a pair of blades once
there anyway, so I'll probably just skip it.  I just sent a message to
Melinda about that request for marshalls.  So at least I'll maybe be able to
put my big mouth to work. (smile)

But yes, I'll be there.  Got any boxing tips?  Other than, "Don't be a
punching bag," I mean?


See You In Detroit!
Everett

"As one small example, last night I stepped into the ring - literally. I got
the snot beat out of me for the most part.  But what matters is, I did it.
I've been thinking about it for months but talked myself out of it week
after week.  Last night I took that step up. Now, today I can't breathe in a
full breath without my ribs aching.  But so what?  I'll heal.  But I took
that first step and am looking forward to learning how to box despite not
being able to see my opponent.  And if anyone has tips on boxing, I'd
appreciate you sharing them.  I got some good shots in last night, but was
the punchee more than the puncher.  I look forward to learning the way to do
it so I am not merely a punching bag for my opponent. (smile)"
