I miss boxing I wasn't the best I wasn't the worst I had a mean jab right hook and jolt counter my body shots were nasty too eventually I developed tendonitis and scoliosis so I had to stop But I was addicted to the praises I got when I fought nothing felt better than being liked by people for a change I was supposed to lose for pay but my pride would let me get hurt for money So I tried knocking.people I got 7 ko 3tko And two draws before I hung it up It all started because I was trying to beat one of my friends sadly that never happened but I still had fun once a champ always a champ
