On Saturday June 26, 2010 I competed in a charity boxing event to raise money for the families who lost loved ones in the Kleen Energy Power Plant explosion. I had spent the previous 90 days training at the Lions Den in Middletown to get ready for the event. Unfortunately there was a last minute change to the fight card due to USA Boxing rules that prevent fighters from different divisions. Fighters who are 35 and older are considered in the Masters Division. Under 35 are athletes. The fighter I was scheduled to fight turned 35 in May so I could no longer fight him. To prevent my fight from being scratched they found a ringer for me to fight. I went against Lance "The Hangover" Henry. Turns out Lance was the 2006 State Champ at the 178 lbs weight class. Lance got a few good hits in to my head and body but I survived all three rounds. It was a great night and I can't thank everyone enough who came to watch. Here are some photos from the event.
