Sometimes I need to step away from boxing and concentrate on other aspects of my life. Boxing is important, but so is sleeping at least two hours a day, eating a well balanced diet, spending more than four hours OFF the internet, and attempting to fit a dash of physical activity into my day.
Unfortunately Boxing Confidential keeps me from the listed necessities for a healthy lifestyle.
Between the phone calls and e-mails from Michael “El Gordo” Marley, editing Thomas Schlabe?s Germanic inspired English rambles, and dealing with one of the most mentally unbalanced individuals in the world, John Chavez, my life had become a living hell.
The mere sight of boxing on television sends me spinning into an anxiety attack.
So, I stepped back, took a deep breath, and let Boxing Confidential live without me for a few days. The Earth did not fall off its axis, Marley still sweats, Schalbe?s English has not improved, and the site did not implode.
During my brief hiatus, I was pondering on the upcoming “mega-fight” between Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Senior. My use of quotation marks between mega-fight are intended to question the validity of this term in relationship to De La Hoya vs. Mayweather Senior.
