I think his expectations were unrealistic (going 17-0 in like the first 2 years or something)
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.
