Bumpdate:
Collin is fighting in his last novice bout tonight. He’s got a slugger from a tough local gym who’s shorter and known to brawl. We’ve beat that archetype before but I’m nervous all the same. He’s had weird energy most of this camp but has pulled it together the last week or two.
I’ve got two coaches with him and a couple other fighters as well while tia and I are in Seattle for an all women’s invitational. We’ve got yet another national level competitor, a slick southpaw who tia fought and lost to when she was a sub-novice and before she joined our gym.
I had to cash in a favor to make this one happen, her opponent had someone else originally but I convinced the event organizer to slide tia in for a rematch instead. We struggled making weight for this one but she hit 139.0 by the skin of her teeth. The kids got to work on her discipline but until she’s better about it we’re boxing at 146 instead.
We’ve got Washington golden gloves in 8 weeks and then Oregon in 10. I’m expecting a good run to nationals this year with her
