He said I would begin training in august and fight in september...God this is hell, Im nervous got my jitters and everything...I still very green in the ring....I will keep everyone updated.

Cupcake yes my family and friends will be their video taping it....Whether I freeze up and get knocked out or I beat the living bejesus out of the guy, I will post it either way. Besides I dont plan on killing the guy and I hope he doesnt go out to kill me, because it isnt happening. I plan on boxing him and pulling pages from the book of sugar ray leonard on him :angry:
