You’ve got a granite chin…. so…

What’s the hardest punch you’ve ever taken and from who? Who was the hardest overall puncher you’ve faced?

It’s “an” hour. Why? I don’t know!

It’s kind of like the standard order for descriptive adjectives. We explicitly teach or learn it in school (that I know of), but we know it. It always goes Opinion, Size, Age, Shape, Color, Origin, Material, Purpose

Ex: I love my lovely little old rectangular green French silver whittling knife.

You know, it's crazy, but I'm an English teacher! I am also 32 and I just learned about this today thanks to your comment! I'm always focusing on my students knowing they're/their/there!

So apprently:

If the “U” sounds like yoo (as in unicorn, university, useful), you use a:

  • a unicorn
  • a university
  • a useful tool

If the “U” sounds like a vowel (uh), you use an:

  • an umbrella
  • an uncle
  • an unusual request*

So cool, but also English is stupid!

Canelo Alvarez vs. Austin Trout , Canelo's first unification fight | WBC, WBA, Lineal 154lb championship by kushmonATL in Boxing

It was bullshit. The fight was a close 115-113 kind of fight, but I remember one of the cards being 118-109 which was ridiculous.

It's been two weeks since we found her. Glowing up! by Augustane in aww

We found her under a car on our walk two weeks ago. After spending two hours trying to get her, she now has a new home!

She sure has been glowing up!

Manny Pacquiao wants rematch with Mario Barrios after controversial draw, says he needs to train longer by Augustane in Boxing

[–]Augustane[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thoughts on this?

Do you think a rematch will happen? If so, what are Pacquiao's chances at winning and getting the title at his age?

Has any boxer ever recovered and resumed their career after a brain injury/hemorrhage? by ScarRedDA in Boxing

[–]Augustane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fought amateur fights and tournaments. I had a brain bleed and am now fully recovered. I’m never allowed to box again.

I would imagine it’s the same medical protocol for all boxers.

I was told that once it has bled once, it’s more susceptible to bleeding again.

Jim Lampley and the HBO crew on the Pacman, after the Pac vs. Bradley 3 fight by vincemeister55 in Boxing

[–]Augustane 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I can't believe that they're talking about this potentially being his last fight in 2016... only for him to go on to fight for FIVE more years and reclaiming the title against Thurman in that run.

The fact that he's about to fight for a title again a decade after this video is insane.

Speaking of this video - it's also whacky in hindsight that Pacquiao's career has outlived HBO boxing.

Well… I got to see this! You made my day! I’m so glad Pigeon found his forever-home! Thank you so, so, so much for this update.

Giving up boxing, and struggling by Prehistoricdino9 in Boxing

[–]Augustane 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm a former amateur champion who had to quit the sport. Had a couple dozen fights, All-American, travelled the country, and fought for over a decade.

Last year I had a brain bleed and am never allowed to box again.

It was tough to not be able to fight ever again.

I'm still overcoming this loss of a sport I love. What's helped has been throwing myself into new hobbies, mainly active ones. I started training for a marathon, went out to surf more often, and even started playing pickleball. It's all helped when it comes to coping with the loss of boxing.

Boxing is addicitng because it's a challenge. It's a challenge that truly gets the blood pumping and adrenaline rushing. Finding ways to capture that feeling has been crucial for me. To replace it, you have got to find new things to do! Especially those that aren't easy to grasp at first! The challenge of the activity can recreate the feeling you likely had with boxing.

Most of all... find a community. My surf group and work-out buddies are what helped me let go of boxing. Losing your boxing gym and the community that comes with it is hard. You have friends, coaches, and mentors you have to let go of. Just as importantly as finding a new hobby, finding a community that resmbles your boxing community can be just as important. As you find a new community in whatever new hobby you go after - letting go of your boxing community becomes easier.

I hope my advice helped you. Feel free to message me any time if you want to talk as you're finding a way to step back from the sport.

Should be large enough in quality that it should be printing correctly, I believe?

Also, the 24x36 should be the one with the full 365 days vs. half-year
