Very Astute Observation Tom !

71.101.83.77

God didnt bless me with a great reach.
I fought at 165 lbs, and I am 5'7, short and stocky.
My weight moved me up against 6 foot plus guys who would pepper me with Jabs.
I had to take a lot of shots to work my way inside.
I was a nasty body puncher though, and always looked for a Liver shot, or even a Kidney punch if the Ref wasnt paying attention, LOL!
I really found my niche in Jiu Jitsu though, and short arms can actually be an advantage because there is less arm to grab and break.
But, you are quite correct, I did this for a long time, and I have taken a lot of shots.
God also cursed me with a strong chin, so i didnt go down easy.
As a result, it took multiple blows to put me down for good.
I really loved fighting and competing, and I still miss it.
But, at 50, I am way too old for competition anymore.
But, every now and then some idiot in a sports bar starts bashing my Tampa Bay Buccanneers .... LOL !
