New Territory by Sarah Pucek May 30, 2010 (Pucek-left)

(MAY 30) 2009 was a roller coaster for me in regards to boxing. I had several fights scheduled and almost all of them were pulled. But that seems to be a common story in boxing it seems and difficult as it is, it feels like I'm finally starting to get used to it. I realize everyone in this game is looking out for number one. Big, solid records are good for promotion, I get it, but this sport is having the life sucked right out of it and sitting around waiting for the “perfect fight” almost (almost) makes me wish I was still in amateur boxing sometimes, where every fight, win or lose, is good for you.  Full Story
