I Love The Sport Of Boxing

 God only knows how much I enjoy watching the great sport of boxing! God I love this sport so much. Mainly because of how simple the concept is. It is basically just two men in the ring going toe to toe for however many rounds they were schedule to compete against each other and see who comes out victorious.

I first here of the great sport of boxing through one of my favorite movie characters, Rocky Balboa from the Rocky films. Needless to say I was hooked. 

My earliest experiences of boxing was seeing the craziness that was Mike Tyson. Now, I did not see him during his heyday of the 1980s. I was watching him during the 90s where he was a wildman to say the least.

But ultimately, my favorite moment in boxing was the trio of amazing fights from two of the greatest fighters ever! Arturo "Thunder" Gatti and one of my personal favorite boxers "Irish" Micky Ward. These trio fights between the two incredible boxers were and still are truly amazing. I in no way can ever put into words how much fun those matches between Gatti and Ward are so go and watch them if you can find them. I found some matches on youtube so please go check them out. 🙏🙏🙏

I really wished I could have learn how to box personally, unfortunately where I live, I do not know where I could go and learn. Now I do not plan to become a pro boxer, I just think it be a cool thing to learn just to say I did it and plus, just do something to get some kind of exercise.

Honestly, I feel as though this could be a healthy way for me to get a lot of my stress and frustrations out. Lately, I've been dealing with a ton of stuff mentally and there have been days where I really wanted to punch something.

Boxing has also been a fun experience for me in gaming as well. Starting with fun games like Mike Tyson's Punchout. Other games Knockout Kings were extremely fun to play. But for me, I still love playing the Fight Night series which was so much fun to be able to create a boxer and go through career mode.

I still miss watching the Fight Night shows on ESPN where I got to learn a lot about boxing thanks to people like Teddy Atlas.

Tyson Fury was also a major influence on me in my continued love for boxing. Hearing his struggle with depression and how he fought his way back really made a strong impression on me and had helped me with dealing with my own depression and more importantly, brought me hope. Thank you Tyson Fury 🙏🙏🙏

Heck! I would have loved to be able to be a promoter and run shows. I always thought it be cool to help fighters get their big breaks. But sadly, I don't really think that will ever happen. But hey, a guy can dream huh!

Until next time! God Bless and Be Safe! 🙏🙏🙏

Lewistown Area High School Class of 2009

 I can't believe it has been 15 years since me and Chad have graduated from Lewistown Area High School back in 2009. High school was a very interesting time for not just myself, but for many of us who had attended, mainly because usually times at high school is the time of getting to know ones self and discover who they are and what there place is in this world. Being a teenage to becoming a young adult can be very challenging to a lot of people during this time in life. Especially with dealing with all sorts of different emotions that we didn't understand before. Sadly, there are also a lot of young people who struggled to figure things out during their time in high school and I was certainly one of those people.  I mention this because recently I found and looked back through my yearbook when I graduated from Lewistown and it was pretty cool to see some old faces especially now that I am older and learned so much about myself. The only problem about this is I wish I knew what

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob

What's going on? Being honest with ourselves!

 I don't like to cause any problems with anybody but there have been a lot of things that I been wanting to get off my chest for a very long time now. And that is in my humble opinion people don't seem to want to be honest about really anything anymore. Now, I could be just a little paranoid, maybe my anxiety is getting the best of me or whatever. But as time has past I have been getting a weird feeling all over me. You see, I just feel as though people no one is really being honest with each other, themselves or to God anymore. I wish I could describe it better but it has been a concern of mine for quite a long time now and I feel like it is getting worse. People would always say things to me like, Josh it is just a different time. But honestly, I think that is just a lame excuse. And the reason I say that is because a lot of those same people who say that kind of stuff to me are the exact same people who then say that they don't understand how things around us are getting
