Boxing class: on Tuesday 3/16, worked on combinations and throwing punches in bunches. Worked with the Muay Thai amigo; it was hell on the arms, but I think it benefited me a bit on sparring on Thursday 3/18. I think I'm a bit too conditioned to try not to take punches flush, because I have a tendency to turn my head in fear of the counterpunch. Need to work on counterpunching myself; I can block and move to avoid, but I can't get off myself.

Also, at the end of the last class, a fairly pedestrian left hook bloodied my nose. Blah. It wasn't even a hard hit, but I guess that's a loss by TKO, huh.

Not much to say on Pacquiao-Clottey except that Pacquiao is unbelievable keeping up that type of work rate at 147 and that Joshua Clottey never deserves a title shot again.
