π₯ TULSA, OKLAHOMA β ANOTHER STEP FORWARD! π₯
This past Saturday, JAB-LAB Boxing Club traveled to Tulsa, Oklahoma, for a great night of boxing hosted by King Street Boxing and our good friend and dedicated boxing man, Hector Rivas.
First of all, credit where credit is due β an excellent and very well-organized show, great atmosphere, great music, and a crowd that brought the energy! ππ₯
And we have to give a SPECIAL SHOUT-OUT to the food and the people who took care of it! ππ₯
Without a doubt, the best food we have had at a boxing event so far! Everything was absolutely on point. ππ
We came to Tulsa with three fighters ready to compete. Unfortunately, we left without a victory.
In my opinion, the biggest factor was the long competition break. We trained hard and sparred throughout the entire summer, but there is one thing you simply cannot replace:
REAL FIGHTS IN THE RING. π₯
No amount of gym work can completely replicate the pressure, timing, adrenaline and decision-making of an official bout.
As a former fighter and now a coach, I also understand that winning on the road against a hometown fighter is never an easy task. We all know how the judging can sometimes feel when youβre the visiting team.
But weβre not here to complain.
NO EXCUSES. NO CRYING. JUST BACK TO WORK. πͺ
Every fight teaches us something. Every round gives us experience. And sometimes a loss can teach a fighter more than a comfortable victory.
We take what we learned in Tulsa, we go back to the gym, and we continue exactly where we left off.
These are the kinds of fights our young boxers need β valuable experience now, so they can be ready for the much bigger battles ahead at the Golden Gloves and Silver Gloves. π₯π₯
P.S. π₯ Officially making my debut as a Boxing Judge! π₯
I had the honor of sitting ringside and scoring three bouts. It was a great experience and another step in my journey in the sport I love.
And according to Eddie⦠I went 5/5
Proud to keep learning, serving the sport, and seeing boxing from another perspective.
READY OR NOT β HERE WE COME.
The journey continues. πΊπ₯
