That was the problem that 181 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 2: he made because I was suffering from an early age, 182 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 2: you know, from all the abuse, the physical abuse. That 183 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 2: talked with me to who have the environments for western 184 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 2: But when I was in the ca death, you know, 185 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 2: I was like a target for people because of the 186 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 2: way I acted, you know, so I wasn't fitting in there. 187 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: You know. 188 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,199 Speaker 2: The only place that did really fit in with the 189 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 2: box shol because it was it was a solace the board. 190 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 2: It wasn't a team kind of game. You went playing 191 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 2: football and others as to get the ball pass to 192 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 2: you or you know, it was like you have to 193 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 2: face and you have to win, and if you lost, 194 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 2: it was because you didn't saying, you know that capture 195 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,719 Speaker 2: show I felt better doing that. 196 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: I understand what you're saying, they Billy, and I see 197 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: the difference between your team sports and boxing, and I 198 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: understand the boxing world and you see people in boxing, 199 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: and you're quite right. You can be part of a group, 200 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: the training group, but it all comes down to the individual. 201 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: So you're responsible for your own own actions, and yeah, 202 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: looking after yourself. There's no one else in there with you. 203 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,599 Speaker 1: So did you find any piece through boxing or in 204 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: the cadet so or were you still still angry? 205 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 2: It was more it was an gay for me, the 206 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 2: saying and the discipline and you know, physical ensurance that 207 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 2: it was jam competing in the sports, you know.

I think 211 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 2: the damage was already done. 212 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: You'd move past through the years. 213 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I got through points.

And my dad didn't see them as intimidating 219 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 2: as you did when I was younger. But I still 220 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 2: had that fear. He still all that fear over me. 221 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: I do understand the hold, stupid. I also understand where 222 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 1: you say it wasn't the pain of being punched or 223 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: hit or flogged by your old man. It was just 224 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: anticipating when it's gonna happen. And yeah, you're probably saying, 225 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: you're saying like you're outgrownding by the age of four name, 226 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: but it's still in your psyche, isn't it. What the upbringing? 227 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 1: It's funny, funny transition. 228 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is just like you know it is to 229 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 2: be natured and loved them, you know, guided through your life. 230 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 2: You know what it is to be beating you know, 231 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 2: batter that's gonna be fair thought. That happened in everyone's family. 232 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 3: And whether he's the piece with it, you know, young 233 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 3: kids that you will you know, I realized that it 234 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 3: didn't it was any difference at my houseo to theirs, 235 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 3: and he often wanted to be, you know, living with 236 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 3: them and their family, you know, even that I was adopted. 237 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is all a mistake. That's my family, not 238 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:14,719 Speaker 1: this one. 239 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. 240 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 1: When when did you start getting into trouble with the law? 241 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: When when did that start to play it? 242 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 2: I was probably like about fifteen, sixteen years old, heaving 243 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 2: towards sixteen years old, and you know, I was boxing 244 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 2: for a couple of years. I didn't want to be 245 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 2: her own. So five shows standing on the street corners 246 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 2: with young lads. I was heading in the right direction. 247 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 2: It was quite well behaved. But then yeah, just trying 248 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 2: to face in with a different crowd, and then drugs 249 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 2: come on the scene. You know when I faced it 250 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 2: was dealing cars. You know the thrill there's three or 251 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 2: four years going out and enjoyed riding. You know. Then 252 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 2: you know that you can make a little bit of 253 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 2: money for sholling wheels, seams in carsteadios. You know, by 254 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 2: getting money, you know what you know, you start spend 255 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 2: it on a bit of drink and that's a gay 256 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 2: weight dog, you know, then a little bit of cannabis, 257 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 2: and then you're so balling two other things. So to 258 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 2: me it was quite rapid. I realized that when it 259 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 2: starts to say glug, you have very child with experiences 260 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 2: kind of melted away from the bit briefly. 261 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: That's interesting, and you describe a path that has been 262 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: followed so often by so many people. You know, you 263 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: start dabbling in a little bit of crime, you get 264 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: caught up in the wrong crowd, have alcohol. You haven't 265 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: got the sense to know what your limited is when 266 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: you're a kid, and then you start cannabis and then 267 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: rolls into something something more serious. Did you at any 268 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: point in those those times, you know, I'm thinking you're 269 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 1: fifteen around that age sixteen, did you ever try and 270 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: check yourself and think I am heading down the wrong 271 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: path here? Did that ever cross your mind? 272 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 2: You know what, it's even perfectly honest, moll, I suppose 273 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 2: would have had that guidence. It was not like I 274 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 2: think what happened was that I got sixteen years old, 275 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 2: I was on these drugs. You know, it was all fun, 276 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 2: it was all games, but it was losing fights.
