Day before day before
So it’s Thursday and I’ve finished my workout and had some downtime after a nice long shower. I like to take a long shower after workouts during fight week. It helps me relax and visualize better. Maybe it’s the water, maybe it’s the solitude. In any case, I feel very good about the fight, my gameplan, my skills and everything else. As usual I have called home everyday and talked to my family. That always makes me feel good too. Now it’s coming down to the wire… It’s showtime!
My weight is looking great. It’s starting to look like I’ll have about 7 pounds to cut tomorrow which is a breeze. I’ve finally figured out how to diet down correctly and cut the weight sensibly so I don’t suffer.
My opponent seems to have taken offense to the pre-fight hype wherein I’ve said that I was a better fighter than him. How odd… Of all the smack talk you hear, that seems pretty tame. We had to do a couple takes in the interview until they got the sound-bites they wanted. I’m sure they’ll edit it and sensationilze it. Crazy, they don’t rest until you say something they can blow out of proportion. More power to’em though. It’s just funny that ole Steve-o thinks it’s real… Well, I guess my fist in his face will be real enough… I just meant the hype up to the fight.
If I have time I’ll try to write again before the fight, if not check back later as I’ll be adding pictures when I find them on the interwebs.
