My gym is havin an amateur show for October fest, looks like Im gonna be fightin on it.

good luck with that

cool man. record it.

good luck animal. hope u do real good!

good luck m8 i saw your other thread bout brunson im sure you must have a few bad feelings bout wot ppl sed but at the end of the day i dont think anyone really were posting with bad intentions........anyway its the internet man ppl allways seem to act different when talking on the internet cause they cant talk like that in real life

good luck with the fight keep a cool head

good stuff man ! and i dont mean any offence in this being a big guy myself but i remeber you were pretty hefty in your old videos , but youd said youd been losing weight , what are you going to fight at cruiser?

aren't you in vegas? is the show at Las Vegas Boxing? if so i'll probably be there

****in bull****. I got shot down once again. I went asked Merqui to put me on the list and he said he'd talk to the owner. Later I got called to the office and the owner said I need to make 205 (im 235 now) cause its a better weight for me and should wait and fight January. I tried to say I wanted to fight on this one too even though Id be super heavy and I asked Merqui what he thought thinkin hed back me up and instead he said he agreed with the owner. I guess its for the best, and what I was planning anyway, im just anxious to ****in get it started. Ive been pickin it up and the weight will keep comin off easy. January no if ands or maybes, **** is on!

So amateur debut In January at 205.

yep and yep. I wont ****in be fighting this time though. I might go see. Its a waste, I was gettin alot more sparring than normal and with brunson, another guy that was southpaw, and some heavies and I figured this would have been a good time to fight. I already started tellin family and freinds and gettin gear ready.

Gotta drop that weight. I know 6'5 amateurs,you would be up with them,not a good thing. You're a big guy.I dont see why it doesnt or already have come off alot. Ive lost 20lbs since July,and Im mostly muscle. You should concentrate more on losing weight then boxing. Like a 70-30 split.

It has come off alot. I started around 300 in February and now Im around 230.

Im not scared of anybody. I didnt have a problem fightin the super heavies, **** in street fights I never get a choice. But I do realize that in amateur boxing its all about scoring points with the white part of the glove which would be pretty hard to do with a guy I cant reach and hes a foot taller and alot longer arms. Gettin to 205 will give me the best chance to win and from where IM at now gettin to 205 will be easy.

Cardio class is the key.We have one at my boxing gym for an hour,and we have ppl on the boards at what weight they started at and where they're at now. Some ppl have dropped 30lbs in 2 months. Amazing ****.I would suggest buying a cardio video also. Im thinking of getting one for myself also.

Good luck bro, although I'd be a little worried because of what you've said about your weight and also your mobility in some of your older videos. Yes in the Super Heavyweight Division we generally have slower hands and feet, but I think a guy who's genetically meant to be around 240 pounds will have better mobility than someone who's carrying excessive weight at 240.

I'm not hating on you bro, but remember when you box you're putting yourself in harms way, so you need to be at your best and at the weight which is most natural for your frame and bone structure. From what I've seen when I attended amateur bouts there are guys who have monster left hooks, and massive rights hands but they were beaten by guys with good mobility who could step in and throw 1-2 and step out again quickly.

Make sure you do your research as well bro, we all know about your spars and stuff which is good experience for you, but find some Super Heavyweight Amateur videos and analyse them or try and attend an event to see what kind of standard you'll be up against.

Anyways good luck bro, if you feel ready and the coach feels your ready, rumble young man rumble! :boxing:

Are the divisions changing because currently 205 is still Super Heavy.

Super Heavyweight = +201 lb (91kg)

I know there was talk at one stage of removing the Super Heavyweight Division from the olympics.

don't rush it man if your confident you can fight in january then by all means fight but if i was you i wouldn't focus on/or beat youself up about your weight and missing the other fight....... look at it this way youve lost weight and your still loseing so just carry on the way your going and you WILL 100% lose the rest of the weight its just a qeustion of time...... anyway make sure your enjoying wot your doing i know this is a bit hard when you feel like your lungs are burning but i know that after i finish training i feel proper good with myself

the gym owner that is settin up the fights told me 205. I thought 201 was the cutoff but I dont really know anything about AMATEUR boxing. Oh well, Ill just lose those extra 4 too I guess.

Its handy to school yourself about amateur boxing bro since that's the level you're competing at. Definatly go see some bouts if you can too. I discovered that even in Amateurs there's quite a bit of politics between clubs when it comes to match ups.

Good Luck

Wear the truth machine mouthguard.

It makes you look more homosexual. Clearly the other guy wont wanna get close.

hhhaaha that was funny.

you dont even know what hes talking about dumbass.

Maybe he does... maybe he does....

**** it, as far as IM concerned its back on. Im goin to the gym tommorrow and puttin my name down for this one. Ill do the one in January too. I dont care if I have to sneak into the office to sign up and then switch trainers if Merqui wont corner me. I want to fight.

I dont care, **** it Im tired of waiting, I wanna fight. Im not even worried about winning or losing I just want to fight I dont give a **** if its super heavyweight I aint scared of anybody. I mainly focus on throwing body shots only to get in and then workin the body when I get in, that plus the fact that IM goin to be shorter than my opponent, and I normally take some shots to get in so I already know I aint winning but **** it, Im not about winning or losing right now I just want to fight and get experience. If I take this and the January fight then boom I already got two amateur fights when all this time I havent had none. Ill keep fighting while I drop weight and eventually be around light heavy and by then I should have enough amatuer fights to start talkin pro.

get em boy...

you dont even know what hes talking about dumbass.

Calm down fatty. I don't think you should wear a mouth guard for fear you might eat it.

I think he should have let you go in at superheavy. Obviously your permanent amateur career would be better fought at a lower weight, but there wouldn't be any harm in letting you get the first fight out of the way even if the weight is a bit higher.

There is something interesting about your post. You said that you aim to get down to 205 to fight at a different weight division. In the amateurs, 201 and over is superheavyweight, and then 178 to 201 is heavyweight. So you actually have to lose a bit more if you want to fight at heavyweight, 205 you would still be superheavyweight. I guess if you get down that far, what's 4 more pounds?

I think 4 pounds is one visit to the toilet for Animal Squabbs.

Oh, now that I read through the rest of the posts I see the weight division point was already brought up by DarkStranger. My apologies.
