Derek getting his gloves tapped on.
My crazy hubby ready to go.
Seriously look at the size of the other dude!So over the 4th of July Derek took the kids and went to Monticello for a week. Monticello is is south eastern Utah. His parents, his brother (and family), and two sisters live their. Anyway, he called me on the third of July and said, "I'm going to enter a boxing tournament." My first thought is DORK! Like who does that on purpose especially when youre not going to get like a million dollars even if you lose, but whatever. So I get a phone call from my friend who happened to be in the Monticello and Blanding area with her husband and family telling me she just watched Derek boxing. Now, my sister also was down their so she could see my kids and she was sitting right in front of my friend during the fight. They had never met previously, so both are taking pictures and video of Derek's match. I wanted to post this back in July but there have been issues with the videos. Making a longer than necessary story short... here are some video clips and some still photos of Derek getting his behind handed to him on a plate!
P.S. The guy he fought was 70lbs. heavier than Derek so it wasn't exactly fair, and although Derek got knocked down several times he always jumped right back up and finished the fight. I guess in some twisted way I am proud of that, although boxing is definetly not something I encourage him to do...the man just loves to fight!
