THE beast has been uncaged and he's hungry!
I have noticed over the past week or so a big improvement in my boxing, and particularly my aggression.
There is no more Mr Nice Guy and I am on a mission to lay down some pain!
I really enjoyed Sunday's session and came out with a renewed sense of confidence.
Unfortunately I am nursing ANOTHER injury and one which isn't to be heeling.
Having gone over my ankle celebrating City's famous FA Cup win two weeks ago it still really hurts when I put weight on it - which isn't a good sign.
Now luckily I can still punch but it is affecting my speed and footwork - which was pretty much my whole fight strategy.
Anyway, we started the session with some very very intense circuit training. I had to take it a little easy due to my poorly foot but it was still absolutely shattering.
We had to do a quick shuttle run, ten press ups, 20 leg pull ups, and 30 squats, then repeat for half an hour.
It hurt, it hurt me a lot.
We then paired up with a partner to do a bit of sparring. I chose Carl, who despite approaching 50 is one of the fittest men I have seen (in a health type way...).
I put my new found aggression to the test and I was a lot better. I am no longer throwing my punches leaning back, as I was frightened of getting hit, and am finally getting a bit more stuck in.
After a bit of bag work the session was over and I could go home and stick my foot in ice.
Now last week I did a bit of 'extra training' which will all be unveiled on Wednesday (avec video).
All to be revealed.
