Was asked if am I afraid to fight on the street... I said yea a little.. The guy asked why? I said I'm not worried about what anyone can do to me.. I am more worried about what happens after I hit them with a clean combination.. Because its a 99% chance I will. But what happens.. Since most people have never been hit by someone who knows about accuracy, speed, distance and snap.. The other thing is even if a trained striker is not considered a ko puncher in his sport most li...kely in real life he or she probably would be especially if you've been a high caliber combatant. What if you're hit clean and go into a seizure or perhaps you hit your head on the ground? So yea..I am hesitant.. I don't want that on my conscious... However that hesitation leaves if threatened or your defending a loved one.. That killer instinct takes over then.
Point is am too grown to be a street fighting guy more than understood

For all the fighters that may have hit a rough patch. I think if there is any bitter feelings from your career.. You should remember that before the snakes rats and beautiful leaches came around you had a love already and that love was boxing. Be the voice that once was silent.. Help these young fighters understand this game.. Teach them what you had to learn the hard way. I love and will forever be grateful of boxing... It connected me to a good experience plus I made a great living at it...but even more importantly it taught me to never give up and that I had and have something most don't have and that's heart and self belief with a lot of fearlessness..
Respect to you all that really love this sport and not just the people. No Easy Way

Available tomorrow 10am till 6pm 7pm till 9pm

Sunday 121

As an amateur I learned that I fought my best when I was at my busiest, that is fighting regularly, and I find it difficult as a pro when I have to go months without a fight. Fortunately the sparring at The Wildcard gym in Hollywood is so tough that a session there can be as hard as a tough bout and it keeps me sharp and at a high level of fitness.

The Wildcard is a tough school and I’d been elbowed, kicked, gouged and even spat at by boxers I’d frustrated while sparring. Hopkins , however, took it to a new low one day when, in a clinch, he rammed his head into my unprotected nose through my headguard. My nose popped and blood began pouring. When there is an “accidental” clash of heads causing an injury during sparring it is convention to pause for a while but Bernard, who could see I was injured and bleeding followe...d up with a wild combination. It was so blatant that I nearly lost the plot but the trained boxer in me channeled it into controlled aggression and I countered with a few jabs and a wild haymaker which hit him flush. The buzzer went and we grinned and nodded. “Good work,” said Bernard. It was the biggest compliment he could’ve paid me.
Tough as these five weeks were, no young boxer could have had better preparation for a pro career, sparring with two great world champions with contrasting styles, and with Freddie whispering in my ear in the corner.
Bernard won his fight with Winky Wright and he asked me to be his main sparring partner for his preparation for the Calzaghe fight. On the first day, when I arrived at the gym in Pasadena, Bernard was already in the ring with another sparring partner. When he saw me in the corner getting gloved up he stepped up the pace and though it rarely happens in sparring he knocked his opponent spark out! As the lad’s corner men attended to their fallen fighter, the boxer known as The Executioner grinned evilly across the ring at me. “Next!” he snarled. I had a feeling I was in for another hard few weeks...

Walking through the door for the first time was like stepping in to a Rocky film. It wasn’t the fancy Hollywood-style gym I expected. Instead the equipment was much the same as my dad’s gym at Clovenstone, perhaps even a bit more beat up. But the noise was like boxing gyms the world over, that familiar and comforting rhythmic beat of fighters punching the speedball and skipping. I felt that the best thing to do was to get straight down to work and after my session I was appro...ached by Freddie Roach himself. He asked me if I wanted to spar and when I said yes he just said: “Come back tomorrow, you’ll be sparring with this guy.” I recognised the muscular six foot four boxer he was pointing to and realised it really was sink or swim. It was former IBF middleweight contender Kingsley Ikeke!
The next day I wasn’t so much afraid of Kingsley as I was of putting on a poor show for Freddie. That first round of sparring was the longest three minutes of my life. I later found out that Freddie had given Kingsley instructions to test me and he certainly steamed in. I felt I gave a good account of myself, although I went back to the corner with a bleeding nose and tender ribs. But the guy in my corner was Freddie Roach, the world’s greatest boxing coach, and his grinning face was saying: “Welcome to the pros, Craig!”

The heroes of boxing are often unsung. Every gym has at least one fighter who trains like a madman every day but is never ever going to be a champion, or even an average working pro. About a year ago I was lined up to fight a boxer called Brian Vera but injuries had affected my preparation. I had recovered enough to be able to spar for two weeks before the fight but at the last minute the sparring Freddy had arranged fell through and I was left in the gym without anybody to w...ork with. One of the gym regulars nicknamed “The Holy Man” (don’t ask me why), who is one of the most dedicated boxers there, volunteered to spar with me. This guy lives for boxing. He has always wanted to box but has never quite made it to pro level. However The Holy Man is a fearless gym rat and that week he gave me everything he had. Even in the 10 round sparring sessions he never took a step back and he got me ready for what was, up till then, the toughest fight of my career. There are guys like The Holy Man in gyms all around the world and without them the Mayweathers, Hattons, Pacquiaos and Khans wouldn’t be where they are today. They may be dismissed as bums or journeymen but in my eyes they keep boxing alive.
