Yeah....this is often more valuable than anything else,
though....unfortunately(or fortunately) it takes you
until your older to understand this

My brain is worth a whole lot of money, I get paid to
be a huge nerd and I won't give up boxing because its
changed my life in a number of ways. I'm indebted to it.

Hahah "i'm good"

I hear that

The only reason I'm *decent* in the ring is that I'd
rather fight heavier fighters than lighter fighters
because I can't deal with fast hands....most cruisers
and hw in the amateur circuit are big hitters who can't
box for shit, so I can potshot my way in some close wins/
losses (I learned how to box at 14 when I was like 100lbs
and am far from an expert, but don't do dumbass shit like
telegraph punches and overextend)
