Boxing

Today since the weather was terrible, we worked inside. It was more of a "gym work out" than just plain old boxing. I did a lot of kick boxing, weight lifting, and cardio and sparing which I am now 2-0 with sparing. I think I hurt my neck even more though by over doing it. I am now down to 169 and feeling good besides my neck/spine. It hurt so much the other day the nurse sent me home, I found a neurosurgeon who wants me to have a MRI done which I am very claustrophobic so I am nervous. I also talked to someone who ended up having to have surgery for his kyphosis he was unable to continue with his sports career of playing baseball (not professional) , So I don't know what the future hold for me, I'm feeling so confident and love boxing I'd hate to see it end so soon, especially with all this potential i have and this tournament coming up in July. I also found out that a health weight for a 5'5 male at the age of 17 is 141 pounds which may be my next goal if I have to stop boxing.

I'm now down to 172 pounds, though I started working out last April 9th I have lost a 108 pounds in one year which is perfect for boxing. Saturday was more simplistic on the producer but a mental drain which caused me to start LO.G 8 developing new skills because I was learning the simplistic 4 punch combo;jab with left, the curve/jab with right, then left hook to the stomach, finally left hook to the face. We decided that once I did the 4 punch combo I would start throwing kicks, three with he left and three with the right. I would start at the bottom of the bag and kick up higher and higher with each kick after the punching combination. I decided to put a little spin on the boxing and start kick boxing. It was a huge strain though, because I've never really kicked before and I had a lot of power in my kicks, i just had to focus mentally since psychically I could do it. In the next few weeks I'll be going to Boston hospital to get more xrays and MRI's, my spine is bad and it's 99% chance I'm going to have to get surgery, but I don't wanna stop what I'm doing now I haven't felt this healthily in years.
