Overweight

I have packed on the pounds over the last couple of years. According to some guidelines online I am now "Extremely Overweight". My waist measurement has increased another couple of inches since September.

I had a great boxing session with David (boxermichigan) last Saturday. He loaned me a no foul protector and trunks and patiently laced me up properly in several of his very nice pro fight gloves.

David is a great guy and really into boxing like me!

I have added some photos from the boxing session to my gallery.

New Weight Class!

Just a quick note that I am moving up a weight class.

Most of the time since I started boxing in private sessions I have been a Light Heavyweight <175lbs. I'm happy to report that I'm now a Cruiserweight in the pro weight classes and a Heavyweight >178lbs in the amateur.

I have always been open to matches against opponents outside my weight class but now I will be a better match for larger opponents.

For the last month or so I have been taking a boxing class. I'm getting in better shape and improving my boxing skills.

Just got back from the store. It was a pretty successful trip!

Tried all the gloves they had and changed my mind on what to get based on seeing them first hand and trying them on. I ended up with these 16oz gloves for sparring because they were just as good as most others for less money:

And these 12oz gloves fit my hands perfectly for more serious matches:

I also got another headgear because these looked good and fit well for full-contact boxing:

It was great to spend the time to try on all this equipment before buying.
