JUMP STRAIGHT INTO:
(01:03) - Round 1: Today’s guest Reid Eichelberger tells us how he signed up for Haymakers - “I started immediately training, uh, with the end in mind, right? It becomes very real that you have to get in the ring in four months, you know?”
(04:53) - Mike Tyson’s influence on Reid - “I was a huge Mike Tyson fan. So, the head movement was. Honestly, I, at a certain point, Kevin Cobbs, who you know, who's in and out of everybody fights in the club, used to say, you have a gift and it's head movement.”
(07:34) - Getting in the ring - “Like it's, you train for four months for, like you've said, usually six minutes and it goes by so fast. It's the longest and shortest six. Like it's a time warp. Completely.”
(14:10) - Round two: Reid’s commitment to the cause - “It's not a joke. This whole event, is intended to be, in some way, shape, or form a representation on a volunteer basis of the fight that people go through with it that they not volunteered for.”
(17:17) - Round three: Becoming the Fight Manager for Philadelphia - “You should do it because you're gonna find, you're going to learn so much about yourself through the process. You know, almost comes back to like this internal motivation.”
