Thoughts and updates

Just wanted to drop a few lines to update everyone on the latest. The 8Count crew will be touching down in Los Angeles later this month to cover Manny Pacquiao's training camp from Hollyood. Ed, Peter, and myself will be in L.A in late February, so stay tuned for that.


I had a great time kicking it with Jermain Tayor in Tunica last Saturday night. Looks like JT will not be retiring, just taking some time off.


8CountNews continues to climb in the rankings, and with just being a little over a year old we are very pleased with it's progress. I want to thank a great group of writers, and contributors for all of the hard work. It's beginning to pay off. It's nice to have a team with little to no drama, and all about boxing.


On a personal note, I found the best thing that has ever happened to me. She's a true person with values and high standards. Life is filled with hypocrites and sell outs so it's truly comforting to have someone in my life who holds true to her beliefs, and respects my beliefs. Life is so much better, no more drama, and once again I have people in my life that are real, and hold true to their values and integrity. I look forward to 2010! A new lady, a great team at 8CountNews, a great family, and true friends, can't ask for much more than that. God Bless!
