Yeah, I did stuff like that too, jumping off the roofs of vacant houses in the neighbood with other kids and all kinds of crazy stuff like that.
Its a wonder I never broke a leg or something, but I never did.

Yeah, had that kind of stuff to happen too.
I guess the most crazy thing I ever did was one day at the gym, my regular sparring partner wasn't there and I was wanting to get some rounds in sparring at the end of my workout before hitting the showers.
All I saw was this one BIG HUGE GUY availble. He out weighed me about 40 pounds or more, and was near a foot taller than me, and had the longest arms I had ever seen on a kid. But I didn't care. I would have fought any body.
It was really impossible for me to box that kid, for his arms were so much longer than mine. And he was too good and effective in sticking and moving using his jab that I can't ever get inside to get a punch on him.
Every round he was able to keep me at a distance with his jab. He just kept jabbing, jabbing and jabbing, sticking and moving. He like to have beaten me to death with his jabbing me.
See that's what happens if you get to cocky, you do stupid stuff.
I didn't have all that much boxing experience then. But if I had? I think I would have gotten inside his jab and to have really given it to that kid but good.
