Fight Camp for MMA – Minnesota

 

I went to Minnesota and stayed for almost  2 months. I stayed in Minneapolis with my friend, Roger Huerta, “The Warrior,” Dave Menne, and up-and-coming fighter Eric Leija. The experience was great. The house we lived in was the ideal fighter’s house, with matted floors for rolling, wrestling, and just being safer working out on something hard, even if you only kick pads. We had access to 3 or 4 gyms whenever needed. I was just coming off a WBC title fight that was declared a draw (it was a BS decision to be called a draw – check out　You Tube　for the fight) so although I had gained 15 or so pounds after dieting and cutting, I was still in good shape.  I got some time in with up-and-coming MMA standout Nick Compton, as well. With Roger Huerta overseeing my training, my ground game has improved more than just fair – it’s like I went from a 2.0 to a 5.5 in a matter of weeks. Roger and Dave’s conditioning was top-notch. They did insane intense hill sprints, lifted heavy weights (I like! I like!) and Roger’s　plyometrics are sick – the guy’s like a ninja. Again, we had access to top-notch facilities–which was great–or we could stay home and do whatever we needed. 

So weeks went by as I stayed training 24/7 (which I do anyway, physically and mentally). So I am thinking of what I must　critique　when I am not physically　training to improve upon these things..

I remember Roger getting a call that my opponent was backing out; this happened about 5-7 times throughout training.  I continued training because whatever I learn and improve on isn’t only for that fight but for every MMA fight in the future.  Besides, I thought they’d have a fair opponent for me at my MMA level. Not!  So I continue to help Roger prepare his standup for his upcoming fights. 

All in all, the experience was great just wish I could have gotten to fight.  Next time. God bless you all.

Pacman and Juan Great fight

The body of excellence (Manny Pacquiao) the unbreakable mind ( Juan Marquez) . The mind is stronger than the body, the mind controls the body , the mind knows the bodies actions before the body reacts. Juan displayed the future of elder athletes in fight sports which is now. Juan using his mind to predict and effectively counter a fair amount of attack’s from Pac man. It was a great fight. I am happy it was such a great fight for the sport of boxing. Congrats to Pac man. Big ups to Juan for a great fight which leave’s most feeling a controversial decision which most feel should of went his way. As they say you have to beat the chamipon to win the fight when your the challenger. Juan was the matador and was great at that. He was also a bull at times and was great at that as well. Pac was working ,working working. He was relentless. Pac- man has become a bit predictable because he has fine tuned his basic’s so everytime he threw a combo Juan knew he’d be exiting to his right( juan’s left ) thinkng it would be difficult to be countered that way but Juan was able to counter this often. Exiting after a combo like that when your a south paw is the basic and right thing to do.Juan knew this and used it against him sometimes. GREAT FIGHT. No comment on the decision just happy it was a great fight! Rematch next May! Lastly alot of people are pissed ya’ll will be hearing alot of this

Pacquiao or Marquez

Pacquiao’s pissed or at least he was pissed. Why pissed you ask? Well it seems that Juan flew to the Philippines wearing a shirt that read ” We were robbed”. The short read that because of the close decision lose in ” 08. Marquez is a great and tough fighter and this is sure to be another historic boxing match.

Who do you think will win the 3rd fight? I gotta go with Ma…………………………….

TEASER

This is a short teaser from the great promotions team at Elite Boxing TV that I worked with earlier this year.  It is a promo video for the fight fought against Kaoklai Kaennorasing.  Check it out!  Will post the fight as soon as it’s released!!

I get it in!

About 3-4 weeks ago I was 88 kilo’s and lifting heavy eating 35,00-4,000 calories a day to increase and test my pure strength.I use to be able to squat 505 lbs for 1 repetiton.I was about 200lbs then.It took me about 4 years to go from 155 lbs to 198-202lbs.I lifted heavy everyday and for a while two times daily.I ate very well.What I mean by well is I ate high amounts of clean carbs and proteins with lots of veggies.Now I am still quite strong when I fight and my thick muscle although not as dense as before is very much like armor.

Video of me lifting is on my facebook profile.Check it out

Sunday’s at Ma’s place

Dinner was
exactly what I needed last weekend at my mother’s.  You know the
saying, “Good food can be god for the soul,” and the food was delicious.
My mom cooked and baked everything from scratch and it was
amazing.  I ate myself into a coma. I suppose all or
most of the foods she cooked boost serotonin (which turns into melatonin), so I
felt great and took a 2 hour nap right after I ate the meal, of which I had
several servings.

Mom cooked yams
that she steamed, then added Smart Balance, which is a healthy butter
replacement.  She added cinnamon which I have an addiction to,
(well, most who know me would say that I am).  Then she sweetened
the yams with agave nectar.  Cinnamon is great for a lot of things
as far as health is concerned, such as metabolizing sugar, carbs, and fat
calories.

She also made
some collard greens, which are quite healthy and full of chlorophyll.
I ate the greens along with cornbread muffins.

The turkey ham
was so good.  I don’t eat pork for my own reasons, so the turkey
ham hit the spot.  She also smothered chicken.  For
anyone who doesn’t know what the cooking term smothered means I’ll give you a
definition: This is when you cook something in the oven or stovetop
on low heat and allow it to cook very slowly, then you add
whatever seasonings you want, usually including onions.  The result
is very tender, mouth-watering poultry/meat.  It was so
good.  I stuffed myself with buttery (Smart Balance) biscuit’s and
strawberry jam.

The baked mac and
cheese was what I like to call “too good.”  When something is just
“too good,” I only allow myself a restricted amount and no more after
that.  I say “too good” because they can be uncontrollably
addictive. (Just for the record, “too good,” for me, only pertains
to food).

Last, I had
dessert.  She made my all-time favorite cake since I was a
youngster: chocolate fudge cake with cream cheese frosting.

Yeah, I know my
mom’s great, and that meal (plus the leftovers) was what I needed since my title
fight in Canada didn’t happen because of immigration issus in Canada. Thanks for
reading, and any questions about any other of the things here –
JUST ASK. God bless you all.

The video is me strength training,and testing my pure strength.I had a while off and wanted to make some brute strength gains.Carbs,carbs,and all that other good stuff.
