My son fights in the first round of the NYS Golden Gloves on Sunday. The opponent for my other fighter dropped out yesterday, after finding out who he was matched against …..he told the promoter that his grandmother wasn't feeling well. Don told me he had a number of guys backing out, and three used the grandmother excuse! Maybe their grannies trained them and worked their corners? Anyhow, it led to several verses of "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" in the gym last night!
