I haven't been to boxing since I returned from Mexico last Wednesday. I mean, I've been boxing but at System. Tonight was the first night I returned to training with Coach Perez. We trained much later than usual. I arrived at the club and pressed my hands up against the window. He was already inside working away. He unlocked the door and greeted me with a big smile and a hug. I had missed him. It was the first time I had since him since Mexico but not the first time I had talked to him since but I anticipated a lot of questions about the fight and my condition. I feel okay. I can't say I really much of the fight beyond two brief moments in it. I think I just went into auto pilot, to tell you the truth. I don't think I was mentally there. I felt the most confident for a fight I had ever been -- confident but not cocky. I knew I had trained hard. I wasn't up to par with where I want to be or where I should be as a professional boxer but I knew I had given it my all during training. I didn't have the raw talent like the others I had trained alongside had but I also knew they had also worked hard to make up where their raw talent perhaps had lacked. They are always trying to master their craft and though I think I'm not on their level, I've trained hard to expand myself beyond the level I brought to Canada. All I can do is keep on trying. Better than yesterday.
