to themself why the hell do i put myself through this. you think why do i it? this is what i ve been wanting, in them years that i haven t been boxing, in them years i ve been down this is what i ve been dreaming of doing, so i m thinking ebonie don t start getting nervous now and thinking oh i don t want to do it because this is all i wanted. i ve never wanted something to be over so fast in all my life. i just want it to be fast forwarded to her being like her hand being put up in the air and all that and just done. and now set to make her way into the arena, ebonie jones. go on, ebonie! go on, girl!
