Explicit! No family kids ok! Fight doctor said the swelling is because the orbital bone that is the eye socket is broken. What does that mean? My guy punched really freakin hard! Love for you ALL! this really sucks having to document this like this... with a loss I mean!

Well............ the good news is, I had a great time even in defeat! Fought a young man who was an outstanding wrestler. He banged me up pretty good but nothing I can't recover from. Thank you all so much for your positivity through all this, especially my son, Lance, my daughter, Madison, and my awesome wife, Jacky. You guys are badazz!
