(01:26) - Round 1: Introducing Adam Glenn - “I was like I’d like to have a fight but I’m not gonna turn in for the gloves, I don’t gonna do that, I’d like to have the opportunity to have a fight and, you know, Haymakers seemed the right kind of opportunity for me.”
(05:32) -Fight night: The son of legendary Jimmy Glenn - “I mean that was, for me, that was a huge part of the experience. You know boxing has always connected me and my dad in a lot of ways.”
(11:57) - Round 2: Fighting to honor - “For me, most importantly, I was fighting for my mom. My mom had passed away two years before that from lung cancer. That was a big part of the reason that I wanted to have a fight with Haymakers.”
(15:48) - Having something to fight for - “Just watching my parents always work, and always work so hard. And being the people they are, you know, we don’t go into things sort of to do it halfaway, like if I’m gonna do something, Im gonna do it all the way or I’m not going to do it at all. ”
(18:33) - Round three: After the bell - “Boxing is something, like once it gets inside your system it doesn’t go away, um, and you kinda have to let yourself pass that first month because that first month sucks for everyone.”
