I know nothing of why KK chose to close his pro log, but I would like to say it was a pleasure to read. King, regardless of your status as a fighter, I applaud your efforts to realize your dream, and fthe fact that you had the balls to share the experience (via training log) with a bunch of slackers and ballerinas that will never take such a leap of faith. Good Luck King, keep us posted.
 
Ditto, I give you much respect for going through all that punishment and sacrifice. You did what not many other human beings would do and followed your dreams.

/salute buddy.
 
If anyone has not read KK's last post in his log, you should go do so.

I'd like to say good luck to KK as well. He jumped in head first. He had a dream, and he followed it. Whether you turn out a pro, or not, KK at least you put forth some fuckin HARD effort, and gave it your all. Keeping training no matter what.
 
I would really like to know what made him post his last post.
 
aye, it has been a pleasure to read and be inspired by Kabuki... It's because of that log that I've been searching out a boxing club to train at while I'm stuck in an area with no other types of mma-related styles.
 
Good luck King, keep training.
You had the balls to go for it. You busted your fucking ass, laying it out there for all to see.
Much respect bro.

I have a feeling we haven't heard the last from you though...
 
i dont know KK at all except from reading his log
which has been a personal inspiration to me

though i can only guess, judging
by his caracter i think the closing of
his thread (or the curtailing of his
attempt to go pro) are tempory
setbacks.
 
I hope KK can work whatever it is out. His log made good reading.

Hopefully this is just a temporary setback...I think his expectations were unrealistic (going 17-0 in like the first 2 years or something)...alot of competition from alot of hungry guys many who probably have alot of amatuer fights/experience...hopefully he'll re-orient and get back on track...it was the greatest thread though here on sherdog...hopefully he'll feel up to communicating what exactly happened/what he is going thru...

may not have mattered

Nah, not if you know the game and how fights are booked. This was more of a goal as opposed to an expectation. It's a goal that if someone my age cannot do, they're going to have a hard time going anywhere.

Also, I never said I expected to do this, I said if I could it would be optimal, but I would have settled for 15-2. lol

First things first to all of you guys:

Thank you for the support.

Second:

Again, thanks to Vilo. He's been as straight with me as anyone in my life, and I appreciate all he's done. There's no animosity or anything about this turn of events.

Third:

This is not THE end. There's some things I need to do that will put my head right out here in Vegas. There's no real blame or anything, just a system of goals that need to be met so I can be doing the things I need to do at maximum capacity, if the opportunity presents itself to give it another go.

Or, I need to consider other options. But I'm not without a plan-of-attack, nor am I turning tail and running back to Florida. But what will happen is I will be off the radar for a little bit, into the darkness so-to-speak, hoping to return all the stronger.

Every fighter has been through this, on here Vilo and Brandon both I know for certain. I'm actually glad it's happening now and not after my first Pro Fight in front of a live audience or what-have-you.

Those of you with the intuition that this is temporary set-backs, you're very perceptive.

I might also still post another log, just not one with the pretense of going Pro. We'll see. But I haven't quit anything per se, save for the idea of being a Pro by such-and-such a time.

Indeed, I am sure you will figure it all out soon man. Good luck!
 
Thanks for all of your instructionals, always good to read! Good luck with whatever you persue.
 
first time actually in the training log section but i saw this thread title and i HAD to put in a few words.

KK, u have inspired me to better my game with the great info and helpful advice you gave out on the standup forum, i just wanted to say thanks for that and that i hope this little set back doesnt run you through the meat grinder. you have what it takes if you put your mind to it! stick with it and put in just a little more then you used to, from here on in its about stepping up your game just that much more. best of luck with whatever you end up chosing to do.
 
One of the most informative and honest posters on this whole forum and an entertaining writer....hope he'll be back to give more tips and experiance.
