Carlos announced that he took his fight at Brooks Park off of YouTube. "I only put it up there so my cousin could see it," he said. We all told him that he should have left it up. I think it is still accessible on this blog.
I had been searching YouTube, hoping that my most recent fight had not been posted there. It's bad enough that the previous fight Meg and I had is on display there.
I didn't spar again this past Wednesday. Still too sore and unsteady on my knees. Alan decided to move around in the ring with Carlos. He looked relieved when Ralphie came in. Alan was going to be too tired to keep going like Carlos likes to go. It was good that Ralphie could take up some of the slack and spar with Carlos.
When the ring wasn't being used, I got in there to shadowbox. I practiced moving my head, the technique I wasn't using the last time I fought Meg. Alan said that using the rope (stretched out along the side of the ring for the purposes of bobbing and weaving) would be good to practice head movement as well. I didn't do much bobbing and weaving because my knees couldn't take it that night. In fact, as I write this, my right knee is slightly throbbing. It's been doing that all day. It may be the arthritis flaring up, or residual pain from when I sprained my knee twice (in 2005 and 2006), or both. Taking aspirin will only help for awhile; unfortunately, the pills won't cure arthritis.
