3 Completely Counterintuitive Boxing Secrets
Boxing doesn’t always work like you might think. Last night I was training at Second Round, my home gym. The afterschool crew was working through their paces with Sinclair, so I did my jump rope rounds, stretching, and shadowboxing alone. Mostly ...[Read on]
The Geography of Boxing Guts
There is a visually simple way to understand where you are — and change your position — on the fear scale in boxing. Sparring can be scary, of that there’s no doubt. And there’s always dread to overcome when making the decision ...[Read on]
When Sparring is Magic
I can’t remember when I last had one of these days, but this week it all came back to me in one of those clear, beautiful, pristine experiences of pure sparring magic. Sparring is always hard boxing work. It’s actually much more pleasurable...[Read on]
Boxing Training After 40

Boxing After 40 With a Bad Shoulder
I took 6 weeks off of boxing lately, mostly just to rest, focus on work, and give myself a break after my last fight. I’m not crazy, though — I kept up my runs and weights at home. I just didn’t do any boxing-specific work. No heavy b...[Read on]
Risky Business: Holly Holm's Safety at Risk by Dangerous Ref (and Corner) in "World Dominance" Bout
The Holly Holm  (30-2-3, 9-KOs) vs Anne Sophie Mathis (26-1, 22-KOs) “World Dominance” fight is bothering me, and it should bother everyone with a stake in professional boxing. Both of these phenomenal, world-class boxers fou...[Read on]
My Boxing Win in Wilmington
I had my first fight with my Second Round team in Wilmington. It’s always a toss-up, fighting Masters, as to whether I’ll actually get an opponent. I weighed in at an event last month and my opponent didn’t show. Women over the age of 35 who wan...[Read on]
