Bobby
Every great fighter has a great team behind him. Much of Fleet’s success comes from his neverending support system, from his mom, to his mentor, Ahiga, to his trainer, Tony, to even his neighborhood market owner, Mr. Jenkins. Bobby is the guy every fighter wants in his corner. And Fleet is lucky to have him.
Bobby was a pretty good boxer himself, until an injury took his fighting days away from him. He trained under Tony for years, and had the heart of a champion, although he just didn’t quite have the talent to actually be one. Still, he understands what it takes to be a champ and gives his all to help up and coming fighters reach their goals. It was only natural he stayed with Tony after his career ended, helping his former coach with his gym and the training of young fighters. Fleet was just turning pro around the time of Bobby’s transition from fighter to corner man. The two had always shared a good relationship. And Fleet has always been happy to have Bobby in his corner.
When Bobby isn’t helping Tony train his fighters, or doing gym duties, he loves to be a part of the entertainment scene in the city. He’s done some commercials and it is his second life in entertainment which gave him his first glimpse of a young actress, named Grace Justice, trying to make a name for herself in the Sacramento and Bay Area film and TV societies. Grace turned her focus to journalism early on in her career, with her catching wind of a stewing rivalry between two local, up and coming amateur boxers in the first year of her employment at one of Sacramento’s newspapers. The story of the ongoing rivalry between Hanson Hansome Kelly and Fleet Blackwood has been her personal jewel ever since…..and it’s been Bobby’s ongoing opportunity to try to win Grace over.
