Fight Night Round 3

 One of my personal favorite sports to watch growing up as a youngster, was the great sport of boxing. And some of my favorite video games to play were boxing games. Today is one such game that I will be blogging about and honestly, it just might be the greatest boxing video game of all time in my humble opinion. It is called Fight Night Round 3!

Fight Night Round 3 was the third installment of the Fight Night series which were created by Electronic Arts and their EA Sports division back in 2006.

The game features 27 real life boxers, including two of my personal favorite fighters Arturo Gatti and Micky Ward who were also on the cover of the game on the sixth generation consoles. Other fighters Oscar De La Hoya, Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson, etc.

The gameplay was fun and I love the different styles of boxing you can make your created boxer to have as well as different ways of blocking. The career mode was a lot of fun too! Getting to create myself or just make up a random character and go through the ranks to become World Championship in their respective weight classes.

I also always enjoy listening to Joe Tessitore and Teddy Atlas on commentary and I just love how they are talking to the viewers like it was on ESPN or a typical boxing pay-per-view. 

Even though it is only a video game, I love being able to box in Madison Square Garden among many other arenas and even getting to be on Wednesday and Friday Night fights. I especially love it because I use to love watching it as a kid.

Crazy to think this game is now 20 years old. It is a little weird to look back on some of these games from my youth. But it is fun nonetheless.

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

Congrats To Trent Hidlay! (World Champion)

Image
 Although, it has become common knowledge, by many of us who live in Mifflin County. But former Huskies' great Trent Hidlay pulled off an incredible comeback and became the 2025 World Wrestling Champion in Croatia at 92 kg. After being down 10-2, Hidlay powered his way back to defeat Amanula Gadzhimagomedov 13-10 to win the World's Gold Medal. This is such an inspirational story that needs to be told because stuff like this does not happen very often, especially in a small community like Mifflin County.  To me, the story of Trent is all about never giving up and continuing to push forward as well as hard work and dedication. What this young man has done is truly remarkable. I have been covering local sports for over ten years now and seeing where Trent has started to where he is now really puts a smile on my face. I mean this kid has won two State championships when he was in High School before moving on to Division 1 college wrestling at NC State. While there, Trent was a fou...

2009 Lewistown Panthers Baseball

 Well, with me trying to become more positive about myself, I have been looking back into the past and find ways to let go of some of the negative emotions attached to it. One such issue was going back to my time at Lewistown Area High School which as mentioned before was a huge struggle for me.  But again, trying to be more positive, I wanted to look back at that time and remember some of the good moments during that period. One of which was playing for the Lewistown Panthers baseball team. Heading into my senior year of high school, I wasn't in the best state of mind. Honestly, I really did not want to be there anymore, I was just so sick of life, never thought I was going to be anything. All I ever was going to be was a huge disappointment. I can only give credit to God for being able to get through that year. But then baseball tryouts came along and I decided to go for it again. The previous years I've tried only to fail, which in fairness, wasn't much of a surprise bec...

Mother's Day Experience: Interview With Madeline Tressler

Hello again everybody! I have returned with another fun interview with mothers who are sharing their experiences as a mom as we prepare for Mother's Day. Today! I got to interview someone who it feels like I have known for some time now. Her name Madeline Tressler and she is the mother of three wonderful children. Hope you all enjoy the interview! JY: Was being mom something that you have always wanted to do? ML: Honestly, I did not contemplate it very much growing up. However, when I did become a mother, it quickly turned into the most meaningful part of my life. JY: What was going through your head when you were told that you were becoming a mother? ML: I had my first child when I was 22, so I was quite young and naive! Naturally, like most first time parents, I was very nervous and apprehensive. No matter how many baby books you read or how much advice you hear from others, nothing quite prepares you for becoming a parent. But most of all, I felt very fortunate to be blessed wit...
