Hand speeed will be better by then too..


you working on anything particular for this fight? something that ya really focusin on gettin better?

Well, I just started training, but I'm hoping to have my first fight by the end of the year(is that unrealistic?)

Anyways, right now I weigh ~200 but I'll probably fighting at around the same weight as you, I have a lot of fat I can lose.

Naaa thats realistic if you stick to training and your diet...

Conditioning is a HUGE part of boxing that is often un-answered because of speed or power someone thinks they have.

At this point i might be a lil better than you.. but if you can outlast me in a fight you will win.

Plain and simple... someone can be better, but if the pace of the fight is being pushed by the other guy it depends on how long can they keep that Pace up.

Condition Wins alot of fights....

So the end of the year is ok to think about.. jus make sure your conditioning is great.

Im having my next fight tomorrow night. Im at 132 right now. Need to be at least 6 pounds within 126.

You dont fight until june, unless you heard may somewhere else, or thats the final dates or some ****, may is prelimanaries?

The kid I posted a sparring video of, is fighting in the Ahmet Cömert Tournament in Istanbul, Turkey, May 8th-14th. He's fighting at 152.

Then I have the same kid, and another kid who's 141 going to a tournament in Poland from May 31st to June 3rd.

After that my 152 guy is going to the EU championships in Ireland June 18th-25th.

then a couple weeks off training, and then hopefully a few fights leading up to the world championships in Russia September 15th-30th.

from where are you ? Uzbekstian?

Haha, no Denmark. :D Usbekiztan are GOOD at boxing, we're ****ing weak... :(

Haha, no Denmark. :D Usbekiztan are GOOD at boxing, we're ****ing weak... :(

we are weaker :D dont worry the UAE

our coach is Uzbek and he trained a good league of decoratve amateur one of them is Abdullive. we joke around alot sometimes but once he start training he is serious

UAE=United Arab Emirates?

Uzbekistan has some serious amateur fighters... Hope my guy can avoid those in the tournaments he's competing in.

I dont know when im fighting, im in the process of switching gyms but it should be farely soon. my weights sittin at 160ish n i'l be fightin at 152

I'm hoping to do another local exhibition match in June, but I just got offered a hella fun, high-paying night job part-time -- writing jingles for a local radio station, with guys from an old band of mine -- and I may have to put boxing down for a few months, or cut back to just once or twice a week. I don't think I can train enough in that amount of time to not get embarrassed at the upcoming match. So I may sit this one out and fight in October. :puppy_dog

Yeah, I hope to have great conditioning. Right now that's all my trainer has me doing is conditioning, since I just started. (Side note:I just found out he fought(and lost to) James McGirt, Buddy McGirt's son)

But yeah, once I'm done with school, all I'll be doing in the summer is working and boxing basically, almost every day. My goal is to have my first fight by the end of the year.

I weight around 150 and theres a tournament First weekend of July

Ill fight at whatever class they put me in
(Im in my zoned out mind set like, **** it ima train hard & whatever weight class im in after weigh ins, it is what it is)

you'll prally get to the 140's... maybe 141

you'll prally get to the 140's... maybe 141

That would be crazy lol.. I dont think I can make it that low (its hard for me to lose weight) Last yr this time I was 165... Coach says he wants me to fight at 147

ooh.. well if your already inshape thas prally good for you at 147..


I was jus going by the pic.. I was assuming you could lose 9.

Im at 260 my next fight should be in june i believe its some tournament

April 28th... I walk around at 60-61 kg (132-134?) but im fighting at 64kg (141)

:( So i'll be at weight disadvantage!

I found out today that the next amatuer card at my gym is going to be on May 5th. :damnit: :damnit: theres no way Im gonna miss De La Hoya vs Mayweather.

April 28th... I walk around at 60-61 kg (132-134?) but im fighting at 64kg (141)

sometimes you have advantage of speed which is good against them

UAE=United Arab Emirates?

Uzbekistan has some serious amateur fighters... Hope my guy can avoid those in the tournaments he's competing in.

We have some great amateur champ in the gym ( which is the national team) some particpated in the Asian olymipis last year i think but 2 guy lost and one retired from the competition.

The problem is no one care about boxing and another thing they dont have off from the army to go to competitions which makes it pretty diffcult to train in near competition but some guy build there is on of the guy's who legacy alreay even if they lost in asian games in the first fight they won the Arab competition, Military amateur competition and even KOing the African champ a Tunsian fight in 2nd round and couple of thing it was there prime time but problem of work and home make them hard to train better and prepare for the fight sometimes they go camp in morocco, egypt, Bosina Uzbek.

another thing is they went to a competition ins Thia i think it Militery amater that which every boxers from another coutries militry competite in it and Thia guy are pretty fast and hometown heros

April 28th... I walk around at 60-61 kg (132-134?) but im fighting at 64kg (141)

Why move up? Weight problems?

Why move up? Weight problems?

Because he has to get under 132 to go down. Basically he's walking around at the low end of a weight division, and he's fighting at his walkaround weight, which is kinda dumb... But maybe his coach doesn't want him worrying about losing weight for his first fight?

I'm in a similar annoying situation. At least in Canada, there's 64kg and 69kg, I walk around between 67-68 (without a lot of food/water inside me) be for the life of me can't get down to 64kg without like killing myself, but also have a hard enough time getting to 69kg and staying there lean.

I hear you. It was much better when they had 63.5, 67, and 71kg divisions in the amateurs. It would fit my 69kg guy much better to be at 67 as well... They had to change it, because the Olympic Comitee wanted them to cut back on contestants for the Olympics. And amateur boxing is nothing without the Olympics, so they took out light middle, and adjusted the rest.

Limits in New Zealand 60kg (light) 64kg (light welter) I know I could make 60KG easily, but my coach doesn't believe in sweating it off or not eating for a bit... which is a bit annoying really because I believe I would feel fine after cutting it down to 60... I mean I walk at 61 max so hmmm.... Dunno what to do

Ya, I don't like the broader way it is now either

@Veldrak

If you walk around at 61kg, You should probably try to fight at 60 man, unless you're already at your bare minimum, which I doubt. For 1kg, you wouldn't even need to really cut on fight night, just the week before just watch your weight a little closer. If you were like 62-3 ish, then I'd agree with your trainer saying it's not a good idea to try to cut it before fight. But I think you could make 60 man.

I agree also, I think the best bet in my opinion is to drop to 60, which wouldn't even really be a drop.

But no, my trainers don't seem to agree.... so I don't really know what to do, I mean there are no other trainers where I live!

That's a really annoying situation bro, and that's kinda dumb of your trainers.

Maybe try to just drop the kg and walk around at 60?

That's what I'm trying to do. Normally before I go to bed, I eat a few snacks, Like fruit and stuff, which I have cut out. What other small things can I do to walk around at 60?

cutting out those nighttime snacks is good. Be religous with your cardio, in the end, if you're already in great shape, you may just have to shed a pound of two of muscle.

@PunchDrunk

Do you think I should TRY to get up to 69kg, or should I just stay at 67 and deal with it?

I'll be fighting in Ontario, next month.

Post the weight you are now. The weight your gonna be fighting at also. thanx.

You can use it as that added motivation to make the shi happen and get it done.




I'm currently weighing 167 pounds, and I'll be fighting at Welterweight, 152 pounds. I'm already on my regimen.

Hard to say... I think experienced fighters should definitely walk around at at least 2 kilo's, up to 5 over their fighting weight. That means you should be walking around at 71 to fight 69 in my book, and at 67, it shouldn't be impossible to get to 64 for a fight. It depends on a lot of things though, like how cut you are at 67. Also, some people sweat a lot more kilos of than others, so it's really an individual thing. Maybe you should try and go to 64, see if you can do it, and if you can, if it drains you or not. Then you can evaluate whether it's safe for you or not. If you can't get there, well, then that's your answer right there. I'd look to go to 71 if you're gonna fight at 69, which is really the easier choice if you like eating.

whoooo i couldn't dream of even thinking about dreamin to be 152 good luck.

whoooo i couldn't dream of even thinking about dreamin to be 152 good luck.

The thing is, I've been out of the gym due to a hand injuries, for the past 2 months. I'm usually 162 regular weight, but I've been relaxing as of late. It shouldn't kill me to get to 152; It never has before.

Had some intense sparring today with a friend of mine who goes to another Gym i deffinatly felt the power of the bigger man lol hes like 2 inches taller 25lbs heavier.

2+ weight class difference... Atleast this states you can take a hit for your Class. Unless he was sloppy and slow.

6th of may im fighting in as 160lbs against a guy 6 years older an 5 lbs heavier my first fight

6th of may im fighting in as 160lbs against a guy 6 years older an 5 lbs heavier my first fight

.. only thing that matters is if he makes the class... and whats the difference in experience? How many fights does he have?

we've been training about the same time its his first fight as well the coach said should be a good fight its intimidating me though that im 16 an hes 22 even though age dosnt mean anything

Hey K-Nine,

Where in Ontario are you? I'm at Round One in London

we've been training about the same time its his first fight as well the coach said should be a good fight its intimidating me though that im 16 an hes 22 even though age dosnt mean anything

1. I find it strange that you know his exact weight before you've been weighed in (let alone 2 weeks before the fight)?

2. Age does matter. A 16 year old is still a boy, a 22 year old is a full grown man. That fight wouldn't even be legal in most countries, and I strongly urge you to refuse that fight. Get someone your own age. Your coach really isn't looking out for your best interest in this matter...

Looks like May 11th for me @ 152. I am currently 158. Will be my second exbition fight.

Nice Nice..... I'm happy to see that there are actually alot of fighters gettin ready for fights...Didn't think i'd get many responses.


Don't forget to post your results...We'd all like to see each others VID's too.. if possible that is.

About number two, I got a funny story...

My friend was going up for his first fight, he was 15 and the guy he was fighting was about 20...So my friends getting ready before the fight and the 20 year old guy he's fighting (from our gym) comes up and goes "you know your fighting a full-grown man"...My friend shrugs it off because he doesn't much care....

My friend beat the living **** out of this guy for 3 rounds, and got the decision...He said if he was wearing 10 oz. gloves the guy would have been KO'd...

So honestly Age is a factor but trust me I've seen young kids that are better then these full grown men

First of all, there's always an exception to the rule, but there's a reason why a fight like that would be illegal in most countries. Second of all, are you sure that was a real, sanctioned fight? Sanctioned amateur bouts under AIBA are with 10 oz. gloves....

I did find that age difference a lil weird...

Age just allows you stay calmer and think a lil more.. the experience of life. Knowing how to control yourself better. But there could be a prodigy where the Age doesn't affect the mind in the area of boxing that is. I know young guys that beat down dudes 6-10 years older than them. But they aren't that good mind you. If your trainer thinks you can take this guy and you trust him (Which i hope he's earned and not just because he's your trainer.) then go ahead and take it.


Are you mature? And its his first fight too. Though he may be a GymRat which is always a dangerous opponent.

should be boxing on may 7th. will be my 2nd amateur bout i lost the 1st so hope i win this one. should be boxing at bout 60kg.

Hey K-Nine,

Im fairly mature i do a lot of mental conditioning (self hypnosis not sure how many people do it) with my trainer i have 100% trust in him so im goin to take the fight. I'll let yas know how i go. To answer the other guys question on the weight thats what they told me he weighed at the moment.
