Life is all about experiences & Praying and taking vows of Violence like a monk
Clearly not how I opt to spend most evenings, in a boxing ring, putting my good looks at risk, but something I was ' roped' in to; so here goes.
I've been matched against some AK boxer- Kick boxer bloke Kingsley- apparently he knows what he's doing, and has been down working on his body shots, whilst I've been working on dragging my hungover arse out of bed.
But as we can all tell from the pictures above, controlling AK's is what I do....( right?!)
I feel bringing my pint from table to mouth hasn't been a successful preparation, so 2017 initiates a new tactic, and a need to get my technique right to keep a shorter bloke at distance!
( do you think holding his forehead like the old playground tactic will work? It's all I've got!)
I've not yet discovered my boxing qual's, apart from having pretty long arms, and an optimistic hope that I can throw em around! Got just Nine weeks to learn what to do with them.
My competitive nature wouldn't let me turn down the opportunity, especially when it's for a good cause, bring it on!!
Great cause and best of look in your fight Matthew
Mat's Story
12 months ago Mathew Rimmer, suffered a devastating brain hemorrhage caused by a heart infection. Following emergency lifesaving brain surgery, he was spent 2 weeks on life support in a coma.
The Riff Raff went to visit Mat recently and were really inspired by his 'never give up' attitude and positive spirit to the life changing challenges that lay before him. He is facing a real battle to get anywhere near back to a decent standard of living, but thankfully, there are no set in stone restrictions as to how far Mat can develop with the right, consistent treatments.
He needs expensive specialist speech therapy and movement physio. These therapies cost upwards of £100 per session and can really make a difference.
