Never a dull moment at Loyola Park's boxing gym. Leon came in last night and sparred with three people. Josh was a new guy who came in yesterday, who decided to jump into the ring his first night there. Fortunately, Leon took it easy on him. Not so on Oscar. Now that was a mismatch. Oscar is not that much taller than me, and Leon has got to be about six foot three. Leon kept catching Oscar with hooks and uppercuts. "If you're brave enough to get in the ring with Leon," Sadiq told Oscar, "then you and I can get in the ring the next time."
The third guy was a teenager, the son of dentist that Alan knows. Father and son came in to check out the gym. The teenager lasted with Leon, but it was tough going. Katie and Maggie joked with Leon about being a bully.
Erin, whose uncle John was a professional boxer, came in last night. She hopes to sign up for the summer session. It was very good to see her. We keep in touch on Facebook, but I haven't seen her in person since before Steve moved away.
