Hey everyone!
You read that right! Katie and I are signed up and training for 8 weeks to fight in a white collar boxing match being held here at the Baths Hall Fight Night on 8th September 2018.
There are tickets available from us, they are £20 for the normie seats and if there is enough interest for a table it'd be £350 for 10 seats at a table with waitress all night, these are going REALLY fast though! We would LOVE anyone and everyone to come and cheer for us, but if you can't make it or you're simply too far away, please consider donating! We have a couple ideas to make the fund-raising a little more interesting, like auctioning our Fighting Names to the highest donor!
ALSO We both have 3 spaces on our vests available each for sponsorships so if anyone's company would like to do that it would require a minimum of £50 for a slot, obviously this comes with photos of us in the gear pointing at the logo etc I mean come on, who could resist??? We'd love to sport Dead Men Walking on the vests :norty: Tealeaf *cough*
This is our JOINT JustGiving page, JOINT so double up whatever you're thinking of donating! :boxing:

We're on our first £62.50 donation! And since I havent actually posted this to facebook yet I know it must have been one of you cheeky devils!
Thank you so much ANONYMOUS for being our first.. wait..
:boxing:
:D
Do you get to fight each other? If so my money's on Katie. :flirty::boxing:
We are out of the country on the 8th, otherwise would have got tickets from you :(
Will donate in a bit, hope it goes well for you both, enjoy! :)

It's a lucky escape for me, we get paired with a "fair" partner for the actual fight night, but who knows what could happen at the lan right? :norty:
What is acutally happening Sith? Talk me though the event please.

I'll be posting updates here as we go along, basically, we get trained for 8 weeks starting Monday, for a white collar boxing event held here in our town, the whole thing is in aid of Cancer Research UK. We get trained to "fighting fit" level from what they tell us so that should be really fun anyway!
Katie and I are both auctioning off our fight names, so if you'd like to donate on the JustGiving page we linked be sure to leave a comment with your donation that specifies which names you're sponsoring, obviously highest donation wins and will literally be used on the night when announcing us in.
Ask away if there's anything you think I've not explained lol!
:boxing:
:yahoo:
So we could do a whipround to have you named something completely ridiculous? Now you have my interest :)

My dearest faust, for the highest donation, the sky's the limit for how ridiculous I am likely to be lol, though I doubt the organisers of the event will yell something to profane haha
We've been practising our hand-wraps and started (light) sparring today with a shield pad thing we bought, and trying out our boxing gloves obviously. I made Katie cry :crying: #feelsbad but overall it was awesome, ready for our second session of proper training tonight!

This is great, well done Sith and especially Katie, wish you good luck and please stay healthy :)
Follow this training video and you should be fine. Also remember "It Ain’t How Hard You Hit…It’s How Hard You Can Get Hit and Keep Moving Forward."

Haha, thanks main!
Great vid, actually looks like me attempting the excercise regimen :D
For anyone interested I'm considering instead of highest donation chooses our fighting names, what about a raffle instead? Tickets would be a fiver and we'd draw winners seperately for each of us :D

Sounds good man but wouldn't know what to call you both
BUMP
But seriously, Katie and I are doing ace, we're super fit, quite abused, I'm quite nervous personally, since the room is full of 6foot+ bruisers ready to smack me. Toughest choice I've got to make this weekend before monday is what should my WALKOUT music be???
It'd be great to see some suggestions from you all, we get between 30secs - a minute so gimme what you got!
Katie has her tunes sorted but if she sees something she likes I bet she'll nick it from me :D
I had no idea there was so much involved in boxing, for reals. I was firmly someone who thought it was two dudes just bashing eachother till someone falls over like those old Rock-emSock-em Robot things. Learning the techniques involved and understanding just how much of it is a mental battle as well as a fitness battle is just immense. I am loving it.
Get those suggestions linked here I want to look good and sound good on the night dudes/dudettes!
:boxing:
PS: Also! Our fight names are already in so no more pressure :lmfao:
Katie "The Killer" Hugo
and Jax "The Ripper" Hugo
Kasabian - Underdog

You're most welcome.
Thank you to you as well TeaLeaf!
Any ice cream van jingle will do :)
As a true Sith you should have the Darth Vader theme though.
A classical touch? A nice segment from the 1812 Overture? Ride of the Valkyries for Katie?
My personal "pure aggression" favourite: Walk by Pantera. No need to select a segment either, the intro up until the vocals kick in would be perfect :)

Aw Faust dude thanks for the donation man!
Those are great suggestions!!
Not sure about using this as your walkout music but it would be great during the bout as your opponent is chasing you around the ring desperately trying to land a punch :D

Not sure you should thank anyone yet, you've got the dMw BBQ to survive tomorrow so I'm not yet sure if you'll be unconscious before or after the fight!

Thanks for the reminder Faust, finally got round to donating.
Have fun guys, and well done on the funds raised. Not bad at all!
Hope all goes well.
Good luck....... you fools.
:boxing:
Snuck a wee donation in there, keep your guard up kids!
Good luck sith and Katie, try to have a good time!
Thank you so much all of you! And extra thanks for those final Donations that pushed us up to £416!! :woot2:
Katie and I both lost our matches, they were close, and I'm nursing a bruised Adams Apple and a fat lip, but man it was an immense experience, and I couldn't have enjoyed it more! It was a fantastic experience, all 8 weeks of it!
I'll post up out videos very soon, and you can all enjoy me getting some really heavy right handers send me sideways rofl!
Katies walk on was the coolest of the night by a million miles! She came out to Rollin' by Limp Bizkit, and I came out to Death to all but metal! but Steel Panther! :boxing:
Now to not get hit the face willingly ever again! Woohoo! :roflmao:

Erm, well you're really not going to enjoy the surprise event I have planned for the LAN :rolleyes:
Well done both, looking forward to the videos!
Here they are!
Check out Katie's fight here:

And my fight here:

Like I said before, it's immense, I might have had more stamina than my opponent but I definitely took a few to many of those heavy swings! (And don't get me started on those dirty rib shots when he knew I'd been injured in sparring lol)
And Katie's whole fight is just a frigging treat imho, I couldn't be more proud of her, she's an absolute warrior!
Well done to you both. Sounds like you had a great experience and all for an excellent cause too :thumb:
Well done to you both thanks for sharing.
Nice, loved Katie's entry, lots of showing off etc. Your opponent Sith, wasn't scared about coming forward was he! Quite fast for a fat bloke! :norty: Seriously though, kudos to both of you. Well done!
Quote from: albert;434284Quite fast for a fat bloke!
:roflmao:
Excellent choice of walkon tunes from both of you. Surprised _any_ Steel Panther songs got cleared, though that one may actually be amongst the cleaner ones :)

Thanks dudes! Katie's walk on is incredible lol
And that _fatbloke_ got told to get in and hit my ribs since I'd done them in a couple weeks before at a sparring class!
Steel Panther forever!
Well done to you both they were good fights. Both opponents were tough the dude was throwing bombs at you Sithy lol. Katie may have a future boxing career not sure about you sith lol. Well done.
Thanks for that last minute donation Rambo, and yeah, I'll stick to boxing games.... boxing IRL can fk off the forcefeedback is far to realistic! :D :D :roflmao:

Nice 1 Katie and Jacques! BTW, I missed Jacques wearing a dress or something carrying the round signs. :norty: I hope you're not going to kick my *rse next time you see me now though...
Are we using their entry music at the LAN also?
You're lucky you're so tall bro your a*se is probs the only bit I can reach!
