Questions with Coach: J.C. Wade

I ran into J.C. in the dressing room of the Roseland Theatre in downtown Portland. He was a welcome sight because I was in an unfamiliar scene. This wasn’t a boxing event, it was mixed martial arts! I was assisting in the corner of the main event with a lady fighter that I have been training. As I entered the locker room to a sea of strangers I was relieved to see a familiar face and a real old school boxing coach sitting against the side wall. J.C. coaches two of Oregons finest pro boxing prospects as well as many amateurs. He was there working with an MMA fighter from their gym. I took some time to ask him the five questions, and he was kind enough to oblige me. He gave us a great interview, thanks Coach!!
