Well, the 26th is off and after much rigmarole. The promoter seems to never have been able to really get the other guy to commit and he indicated he was out a week or more ago. But he was sure he could find a fight for me yet. What followed was a litany of increasingly inappropriate matches ranging from very young to fighters 20 pounds above my walking around weight. All of these proposed by someone who was a bit sketchy to begin with. So finally on Saturday I just cut him loose and said I wasn't available for the 26th. Honestly, if he came back with another proposal I would not be surprised at all.
So where does this leave me, the short answer is: in doubt. What is clear is that there aren't many potential opponents who are within even 15 years of my age especially once you narrow the field by weight and experience. It probably reflects my disappointment more than reality when I say that I feel humored by my trainers (look at the old guy, that's kind of funny that he thinks he can fight) and slightly hopeless of ever getting a fight. I am even considering an exhibition with a younger fighter just to demonstrate that I can stand in the ring and perhaps generating some interest. On the whole I am not at a real high point just now.
