[Vision2020] AND THE BEAT GOES ON!

[Matt Decker]

Ellen:)

Hey some of the best boxers I sparred with are girls. But off course I will 
not admit defeat:)

If I had girls I would absolutely have them get into boxing. In fact I feel 
girls/women should all do it for the self defense aspect of it.

Take care

Matt
