"ON THE HOME STRAIGHT"
Well I'm now on the home straight, only 2 days till weigh in and 3 days till the fight. I've been in this prep for this fight for 9 and a half weeks now, countless rounds of sparring, kilometers and kilometers of road work, bucket loads of sweat and so many painful hours of dedication and determination.
Friday night I did my last hard long run, I was so happy, the following day I did my final sparring session- 8 good sharp rounds with "Bomber" Pedan, I was so happy, Today I had my last massage, I was so happy.
For the last 9 weeks I've put my body through torture so I'm happy to finish and see the last of the things I've done for what feels an eternity, such as the sparring, the gruelling runs ect ect. This week is my taper off week, everything is about freshening up, sharpening up so I peak and I'm ready to do what ever it takes come about 9.30pm march 9. I'm still doing some running, but smaller faster runs, doing my pad work with coach mark, and a lot of work on the floor to ceiling ball, everything is sharp and quality work. All the hard work is done except when it's fight time.
My next aim is 7pm Thursday night, weigh in, I've been lucky enough that my weight is really good, I put in the hard work early, I've done all the sacrificing and so I'm near weight now and really looking forward to getting it out of the way and let the fight begin. I feel ready and can't wait. I hope there is huge support on the night for myself, Bomber and Ace Boxing Promotions who have worked their bum of in getting this show together and I thank Angelo and Brian for the opportunity.
As usual I thank everyone who have supported me, my sponsors, especially my main sponsors who have covered all my living cost to train full time (A E Smith, Liberation Protection and Investigations, Wilson Pacific and Total Contract Services) as well as all my other sponsors and people who have helped me out, ( Madison Sport, Rightcross, Struddys Sport, Brisbane Drum Exchange and Tiling Aspects). I thank all my sparring partners and a huge thank you to Bomber and Kanofski for the countless rounds, both great guys and huge assetts to me and the boxing game. Also thank you to my Team, Mark, Gareth, also Brian Pedan, Jo Harden, my Mum, Greg Wallace for all their efforts, my family and everyone who has been a part of it.
I hope to see you all at the fights, it's been a long hard tussle that I feel I got the better of, now I just have to go do battle and win that tussle too.
