Volume 9: Post Fight Comments (Written by Adam Trupish)
Well sometimes your body just can’t take what your mind wants it to. Yesterday as you probably know my fight was stopped by the doctor from a cut across the bridge of my nose. This happened in the third round in which I was down by about ten points. My opponent was very crafty and dirty and it seemed that I just couldn’t get into a rhythm. Points weren’t falling in my column the way I would have liked. Oh well, live and learn. I just finished a light run with Kooner and later today I’m going with Jean Pascal to the Reebok Center and we’re meeting with Allen Iverson. Then, Benoit is fighting tonight against a four time Olympian, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed for him and I’ll get back to you tomorrow.
