An Excerpt from the "Memoirs of Baby Thibs:

Fighter profile of Dakota Thibodeaux Jr. by Dakota Thibodeaux

 June 20th, 2021

My name is Pablo Graves, well at least it was; my dad recently won the custody battle and said that was the first thing he would change.

Greatness doesn't need a name just a stage to be performed is something my dad always says.

However, he told me to carry the mantle of our name and legacy was burden only for the greatest.

Today's the last day I'll hear Pablo from the announcer. 

Alex Tozawa is my opponent today, he's 25.. a great boxer and striker.

odds really are stacked against me; not even sure why my Dad set up this fight.

even still..my machismo won't let back down!

Although he's a better boxer, no way he's a better striker; I'll get him into the clinch and do all that I can to make him unrecognizable to his family.

Watch me work!

♠♠♠♠

♠♠♠♠

I won! It was a sound performance, my father beamed with pride as he watched me eviscerate this older guy. 

The win was impeccable, so much so that I almost wasn't pissed off about the clerical error resulting in my nickname being used as my surname.

It's cause I'm Puerto Rican huh?

Which vato fucked that up? I couldn't even thank the fans after that one. 

But you'd would've though this was some bloodletting ceremony, as much blood was spilled today. 

Mom didn't come because she stated she couldn't watch me get hurt, I tell her that I can never get hurt.

"soy invencible Mama, you know this"

but she always says, "si tuviera un dólar por cada vez que escucho eso."

This aint one of them times Mama.

I can't lose.

I won't lose.

Because...

Victory, is addicting.
