Driving and Boxing: My Two Passions

By Kim Franklin


I like sports a lot, I think that they allow me to be a healthier person, and they also allow me to have a lot of fun while I'm exercising. I have been practicing sports all my life, as a young kid I played football, baseball, soccer, boxing, and even golf.

My favorite sport is boxing, in fact, I was an amateur boxer for a very long time, I even made the national team in my country, I'm not from the United States, so you probably wouldn't know who I am even if I told you my name. I had a great boxing record, I won more than 100 fights, and I only lost 3, 2 of my defeats were caused by injuries, so I like to think that I was only defeated once.

One of thos injuries was a dislocated shoulder, that was probably the reason why I stopped boxing, that injury destroyed all my dreams, I wanted to be the world champ! Now I'm more like the keyboard Champ, but that's not a problem, I'm a strong guy, I know how to take a loss, and I also know how to move on.

I still practice boxing every single day, I do a lot of sparring, I love to jump rope, and I love to hit the heavy big with all my power. Sometimes I feel like making a comeback, but I'm not that young anymore, so it's probably not a very good idea. Even if I don't fight again, I will always love boxing, and I will always enjoy watching the sport. My favorite fighter is Floyd Mayweather, I would love to see him fight against Manny Pacquiao, I hope they make that fight happen, because I really want to see the "Pacman" get ko'd by "Pretty Boy Floyd".

Sports are mylife, but I probably enjoy driving my car even more than sports. Driving is getting harder though, now there's a lot of traffic in every city, I hate traffic because it makes me waste too much time, and time is the most valuable asset that I have. I like to use the driving directions Mapquest provides in order to avoid traffic and other things that I really don't like to deal with when I'm driving, if you use the Map Quest or the Google Maps route planner you will be able to avoid closed roads, roads under construction, traffic, and much more!
