day 27
Monday.
I had the day free, so I prepared for the gym properly.
I got into the gym fresh and recovered from the weekend and blasted away like a madman.
I got in at 4pm, got through the circuit for warming up.
I achieved a 20-18-16-14-12 cycle.
Did some footwork for the last 10-15 minutes of warmups.
Did the bare min for the pushups/crunches due to the fact I led the group.
We worked on a simple combo on pads.
I was in so much pain from the upper-body circuit that I was having a hard time holding the pads for my partner. His shots were hurting haha...
I can't remember what we did at the end for an exercise but it was in the ring.
During the transition between the 1st & 2nd session I did a pushup ladder of 20.
Went through the warmups with 2nd session.
and sparred at the end of the night.
I went with kenny again. I worked on the weave combo I found that worked on him in the 1st session of sparring.
For some reason it still was a powerful tool to utilize.
I had good feet, for half the 4-minute round. I strung a couple combos together.
Mid-way through the round I was dropped by a shot, I had no idea what got me. All I know was my arms went up vertical and my back hit the canvas. When I hit the canvas I sprung right up. Jeff did not have time to start a knockout count on me. He checked me over.
At the time I felt perfectly fine, so I went on.
At the tail end Kenny unloaded flurries up high and I was successful in defending them with my guard.
After the match was over I had asked jeff what kenny had dropped me with. He had said he landed a straight right hand straight to my mouth/chin dead on.
When i was talking with kenny he was saying he sat back and threw a counter right.
Even though I was dropped, one of the combos I landed on kenny was a weave right hook to the body, then I rose up with a left-hook to the head that started a flurry of hooks that were all connecting.
During the talks with kenny, he was saying he was rocked from the hooks.
