Saturday came round too fast, my last session before this Fridays warfare, Fulfilling a bet I spent the whole of the training in a pair of Calvin Y-Fronts, and that was it for the lower half after I did it to raise a little more cash for the charity I am fighting for, Broadway, Scott paid up as promised and some of my WCBL family dug deep on the day too, in addition to loads of the guys donating online, cheers to everyone!
Training had even more tension than last week, people putting final touches to their technique and fitness will always remind people of how little time was left till tomorrow night, I wouldn't personally spar on Sat, I wanted to but the vision of damaging ribs and missing tomorrow was too much for me personally to risk.
We also had a load of laughs as always, my budgie being out caused Jo to remark that I might be the man to turn her, but then she mentioned I might need to borrow some socks to fill it out, so I was getting mixed messages!
Everyone looked sharp and drilled and I think it will be an awesome show tomorrow with loads of different styles on show and some technical fights and some all out brawls (Ill let you guess my style!) It will be an action packed night out and a credit to Scott and all the fighters commitment to the cause.
Tension...
I have been climbing the walls all week, and I am not going to get into smack talk but I feel ready to go, Ill stick my headphones on tomorrow close my eyes and be properly in the zone, one of the girls at work mentioned fight eyes, and they will be on tomorrow, not silly bulging eyes but focussed and ready to go to work.
I want to lay out some thanks now, to Scott Borthwick our trainer, he has worked us hard but in the best possible way, and runs a great professional set up. He has never promised anything he hasn't delivered and its been what I hoped for and more.
WCBL family, everyone at training has been amazing, I feel like I have made some great mates and the banter has been priceless. Looking forward to beers and more training in the future.
Sponsors and supporters, everyone who has donated, bought tickets, or just sent me over support via FB, text and phone, I am going to be unleashing a whole lot of Bear tomorrow for you.
Finally my wife Lauren, she has put up with months of me boring the living shit out of her, stressing her out and farting all over the house thanks to protein. Despite not being a boxing fan she has supported my reasons for doing this, and has always been proud of the effort Ive put in.
Ill post one last blog after this following tomorrows fight, good luck to everyone fighting, and thanks again for the love and support for me and the charity.
Biggest Love
The Bear
