Twenty fights took place yesterday at the Golden Gloves. John was not one of the fighters. Like Carlos the other night, John's time to fight has been put off until next week. He was hoping his match would be on the same day that Carlos has his, but their fights are on different days. Carlos is scheduled for this upcoming Thursday. If Pastor and Virginia are able to attend the Gloves then, they'll get to see him fight.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Alan asked me. "Not currently," I replied. "You sure clean up well. You could have been one of the ring girls," Alan grinned. "I usually don't wear makeup often, but I figured I'd put some on tonight. I'm surprised there are no ring girls here tonight," I smiled. "They're probably saving them for the finals," Alan said. Ring girls are unnecessary in my opinion. The worst is when they appear at women's boxing matches. There you have women in the ring taking care of serious business, then here come some half-dressed chicks parading around with signs. It makes no sense.
I had been thinking about Antonio, the MMA fighter who used to come to Loyola Park to work on his boxing skills. He was at the Gloves Saturday night; I didn't recognize him at first. It was good to see him. He's got a boxing match coming up in New York City soon. He also has a MMA fight coming up soon here. He trains at a gym up on Elston, which I will have to go and check out.
