Great story Lisa! I want to read parts 2,3 etc (no pressure!) I've known Bonnie about 5-6 years and trained with her at every gym she's been affiliated with. She really truly cares about her clients, and most impressive to me, young people. Thanks for saluting her. (And yes Bonnie I am coming back!) .-= Kristasphere´s last blog ..I Want You Back: Michael Joseph Jackson 1958-2009 =-.

Thanks, everyone, for reading and commenting. It has been an honor to train with Bonnie, and also to learn a little bit of her story. She has promised to let me interview her again, so you can count on me posting it here!

Hello, Great article on Bonnie. I have known Bonnie for many years . I am an old friend of her Aunt Suzannes’ and have been kept up to date with Bonnie’s career a little through her. Although Boxing isn’t my favorite sport……( I just don’t like to see anyone get hurt ) I hope that maybe someday I will get to see one of her Boxing matches. Hopefully, it will be one of her winning matches. Good luck to you Bonnie and I’m glad you followed your dream.

Hi Lisa…Bonnie is my niece and truly enjoyed your article and the recognition you have given her. She has always been a hard worker and I was thrilled that I did get to see her box, was even there when she won her Title bout!! I also have met Paul and Coach, and I have to say that it is so nice to know that she has “family” in the people that surround her, because they are exactly that!

Hi Lisa! Thanks for the story featuring Bonnie. I’ve always known that she is an exceptional individual but have never been able to see her box. She is our niece. We love her dearly and are very proud of her so it’s really nice to see that other people think she is awesome too.
