boxing childhood HNT
When we were growing up, my brother and I had 2 pairs of gloves and an adjustable punchball. I used to set the ball high, to practice defending myself against bullies. My brother used to set the ball extra low, to practice beating up little guys. You can tell from his stance that he knew how to handle himself, but I seem to be punching myself in the head.

Because gunpowder is a strong smell. I wonder if you can smoke the other under it.

ReplyDeleteFrom the looks of things, your little brother could have beat the sh$t out of you. He looks tough, but you are cute so :P
ReplyDeleteHappy Half Nekkid Thursday!
Impressive!!!
ReplyDeleteHHNT!
Looking at your stance, I can see why you gave up boxing. LOL Happy HNT!
ReplyDeleteAlbert? Did you ever get to hit anyone. We had boxing matches out the back garden. That helped a lot! Hotboy
ReplyDeleteI say!
ReplyDeleteDid I tell you about the night when Hotboy boxed the vertically challenged young chap at the Miners Club in Dalkeith? I was in his corner that night.
It wasn't a pretty sight. Hotboy was well past his best and had been hitting the ciggies all day long. After dancing around for two rounds trying to keep out of reach of the vertically challenged chap, he tired quickly. The vertically challenged chap saw his chance, jumped two feet in the air and landed a solid punch on Hotboy's paunch which floored him.
What a come-down from Hotboy's previous match, when he saw off Dan Desperate.
