I've been in and out of school for the past 3 years and problems outside of that have been tough as well. But I've been training both for a pretty damn long time, and win or lose I wanna give a try.

Please do not take this the wrong way BigG, but I think you need to change your way of thinking first. I could be wrong, but by you saying "win or lose I wanna give it a try". You should be saying or feeling" I am going in there to dominate or destroy people, I am going in there to make a name and to be famous"!!! This is boxing, you don't play boxing boxing, you can get hurt if you are not serious. You obviously are super passionate about this sport, but are you just as passionate about training and doing what is needed to be the best you can be? I remember maybe a year ago you saying you gassed out in an amateur fight cause you didn't train right or something. IMHO if you wanna do this, you got to go in there with a more confident cocky attitude. NOT "win or lose I wanna give it a try".

It just sounds like you wanna do it just to do it, which to me does not sound like it will end with a promising result. BUT if you are okay with that, more power to you. I am 39 years old, and I have so many could of, should of, would of experiences. I wish I knew what I know now way back then. You can do what ever you want, how you prepare and your mentality determines your success. Sorry to preach, I truly wish you the best.
