Alexander-Urango was a solid fight. Alexander KO'd Urango, who seemed to be coming on stronger late in the fight, in round 8. It was a very impressive performance, and the uppercut was tremendous. Looking forward to more out of him. Haven't seen much of Tim Bradley, the other big guy at 140, so hopefully I'll get more on that eventually.
Workout stats were very encouraging. New record on the bench and deadlift. Forgot the warmup sets, but here are the work numbers:
- Squat 5x285, 5x295, 5x300
- Bench 5x160, 5x160, 5x165
- Deadlift 5x280
- Pullups 5xBW, 5xBW, 5xBW
Of note, this time I used a solid pullup grip instead of the rotating guys I usually use, which explains the numbers being kinda 'eh.' I think it's more legit that way, though, so I'm gonna stick with those.
Ignoring Tuesday's class, I sparred on Thursday, and I got ass handed to me. The first guy was a rookie with a huge height advantage but similar experience. Only straights were allowed, and I was just about even with him.
The second guy dominated me with his punches in bunches. I couldn't throw a single punch without getting hit by the left hook, and the worst part is, the left hook wasn't where it ended. I'd get hit by multiple punches in a several-punch combo. I think he was an inch or two shorter than me, but it felt like we were even in height when I fought him.
Third guy was the Muay Thai club member I'd worked with in drills before. He also kept getting me with the left hook, which he pointed out afterward. Overall, got hit a lot in the face and temple but not much on the chin.
