Last chance to impress

Tonight’s training session is the last chance to impress me before the final cut is made for this year’s battle of the bankers.  There will most definitely be some blood, sweat and tears as five wannabe fighters will leave the ring for the last time.  The training has picked up in intensity over the last few weeks; some of the boys putting in extra effort with additional personal training sessions in a bid to gain that extra edge.  For those who were lucky enough (with the heavy workloads this time of year), to be able to make both the Monday and Thursday sessions, time will only tell whether this will be enough to guarantee them a place in the final line up.

 

 

For the more fortunate ones, the ones who have proven that time and commitment “do a fighter make”, tonight will be like any other training session, with their strength and conditioning circuits, and their technique work on the heavy bags.  For those who have not shown their full potential, they will be paired off and have to fight for their right to continue training with the rest of the group.  In true gladiator style, they will fight man to man for three 1 minute rounds, all vying for that early knockout and trying to avoid further black eyes and broken noses!  All in all, it’s set to be a ripper!
