That's kinda one of my only concerns is that I don't know if I'm mean/aggressive enough to really do this. lol, I've never thrown a legitimate punch with the intention of doing damage... I'm gonna have to enter a whole new mind-set to be taken seriously I think.

Your mindset will change once you are in there, realize that the guy across from you is going to try to hurt you.. Good luck

Lost in second round to guillotine. I didn't have the conditioning that I thought i did. I will say that the dude has a pretty solid chin. Gained 8 pounds, and was at least 6'4, not 6'1 like I was told... I picked him apart in the first round, and just ran out of gas in the second. I'll post the video when it gets put on the youtubes.

I laid him out in the first round and thought they were going to call it and didn't cover him up like I should of, probably could have won it there.

I made him earn his title shot at least, his words exactly "getting hit by him was like getting kicked by a horse." I'm glad I did it, and I'm proud of how I did. It may have been ugly, I don't know, because I haven't seen it yet, lol, it was a sloberknocker though

I think you nailed it on the head with this comment prior to your fight. Most of the good fighters eat up a person once they see an opening or weakness and don't stop till the ref's steps in. Next time you'll know though!!
congrats anyways, looking forward to the video!
