I share something in common with Sonny Bill Williams: We are about the same fighting weight. Although clearly I do not have "ripped" abs or torso! I used to be the same fighting weight as David Tua, so I have actually made progress. These random facts would be of relevance if I was an aspiring professional fighter. I am not. I do though share a love of boxing. I think the key thing to boxing is much like RPM and cycling. Its about understanding rhythm and patterns - I think a good boxer knows how to control their rhythm and energy to maximum effect.
Boxing is not what this post is about though. This post is about establishing a benchmark of my current weight. In stating that I am the same weight as Sonny Bill Williams, it means that technically, or in fact actually, I am a heavyweight. Heavyweight and cycling don't seem to be common combinations!
I'm not going to use this blog to record my actual statistics - I have a journal for that. I do though want to establish a baseline that I can look back on in November. I'm not sure that in November I'll be able to say I weigh the same as Lance Armstrong. That would be amazing. It would be good though to be able to find an athlete who I can compare my weight with who is not a heavyweight.
Sonny Bill Williams is an awesome athlete - although I do agree with Bob Jones, that the fight he has just won wasn't worth watching. Is he destined for some real ring fights? I'm not sure. What admire though he is giving it a go, and at least his passions. And those "ripped" abs are pretty awesome too!
If I can follow my passions and get ripped abs by November, I'd be "stoked" to have that in common with Sonny Bill Williams!
