They Keep Comin'

Still plugging along. I think we're somewhere in the middle of some round - I have no idea which one or how deep I am.

Rounds one, two and three went very solid. I even managed to pass the monotony of late round two. Now I'm just plugging away and the hits keep coming. Nothing's taking me to the mat, but no doubt about it these are starting to sting. I know I'm up in points, stamina and the opponent is feeling weary - but not enough to put him down. I just have to wait.

Now is where I start thinking about distance training or going the distance. This is where it gets easy to lose sight of the goal. This is where a fighter can get lost. You've done really well this far, but the battle is far from over. It's this comfort that allows you to be taken by surprise. I'm not letting my guard down.
