    Win or lose Conner, I have nothing but respect for the fact you got in the ring and fought, especially as the massive underdog. Respect.

    Emir locked in bro....... I'm all over the Lt heavyweight division. I will be the white Jon BONES Jones.lol. 6'3 walk around 235 cut to 205 for fights.......perfect !!!!!!

    Kiko Thanks, Problem sometimes I think people don't realize I'm an underdog. Sometimes I think people think I blew it when I lose, truth is most of my fights are an uphill battle. My coach's and dad say I'm my own worst enemy when it comes to that. They say I look 16 and act 25, people forget I just turned 13. Bothers me sometimes like I don't live up to what they expect from me. They tell me not to worry about it, I try not to. I try to fight kids my own age but there isn't alot out there and the ones that are don't come running to get into the ring with me. I had 3 fights with kids my own age for this event and they all backed out. So I took the 15 year old. Can't wait until age thing won't be a factor and my body has cought up with everything my brain wants it to do. It will come. I hope by the time i'm 17 or 18 I will hang with ANYONE that has the BALLS to stand in front of me. Just keep working , thats all I can do.

    Oh for SURE if you keep training you're going to be a contender. Just pretty please, for the sake of your chance to make it big, don't kill your body too much while you're 13. You don't want to blow your chances of fighting at 18+ because you took a fight at 15 and had your body thrashed to bits in a war vs someone 20 lbs bigger than you. No one here questions your drive to succeed. No one that counts anyway, not that you need our approval to succeed brother. You have it inside you. We're just here to cheer you on your journey, and roll with you from time to time =D.

    Thats funny you say that, my coach's met with me after this fight and pretty much said the same thing. They told me I had nothing to prove to anyone and they were taking control back from me.lol. My dad said everyone started to get cought up in my passion to fight and started to make dumb choices, him included. No more fights with anyone more than 12 months older than me, also within 10 pounds in weight. They said if that means I go a year without a fight, than thats what will happen. Worry about training and pushing forward. MY dad pointed out to me again, as he has done many times, he retired from pro fighting when he was in his mid 20's because of injuries. He says there is to much of him in me and my carear will be much longer. lol. He laid down the law, no more fearless and hardcore. Smart in training.....Smart in fighting.

    I'm walking the walk right now. Not going to NAGA this weekend because my knees still jacked up. Before the talk I would have convinced everyone to take me if I had a bone sticking thru the skin.lol. Thanks for the concern bro.
