Sparring

Back from my yearly Adirondack sojourn. The family and I enjoyed copious amounts of North Country fun: swimming, hiking,canoeing, boating, cocktailing and campfire relaxation.
Now, back to the business of law and sporting pursuits. As to the latter, yesterday my Heavyweight sparred in preparation for his 8/31/2012 fight at Mt. Airy Casino in Tannersville PA. Joey sparred Bryant Jennings for 5 rounds. Jennings is a Philadelphia boy who is on the rise at 14-0 and tough as Hell with fast hands and good power. I am very pleased with how Joey handled the work-out. he took some shots and delivered some quality shots too. The overall experience sharpened his confidence and certainly helped get him ready for the Friday fight.
saturday will find my son and I in the sunflowers hunting doves in Delaware...so a Sportsman's weekend is on the card. If schedule permits, we will finish the weekend betting the Penna. Derby at the racetrack on Monday....hard to believe Summer is waning.

I think the PA Derby has been moved back a couple of weeks trying to get the Travers runners. Same day as the Cotillion.
