I have been training for a year but im 18 and in college so i feel that i started too late. I still wanna have a couple amateur fights but my fear of losing kicks in, How do you get over that and get mentally prepared

Programme yourself to have no fear. Anyway, don't be scared of being caught with a clean shot that knocks you out cold. Its a good learning curve. Once you have a loss, e.g been hit with a clean shot. 9 times out of 10 you become a much better fighter.

18 is not to late. Matt Skelton went pro at 35 and he fights for the world title on January the 5th mate.

you just made me feel better lol thanks

spar till ur not scared then spar some more

u know your ready when u grow hair on yo balls.

I think you will be ready if you will know how to conquer your fear and start fighting with it. It will help you to set your mind on the goal. :banana:

Try to grow a pair dont get scared about losing every losses in Amatuer or Pro unless they are exceptionallly good.

I think losing is the best thing to happen to a young boxer to be honest.

go to another gym and spar with a bigger an better person and if you dont get beat up your ready...........

correction buddy i got lotta hair on my balls.....i spar with bigger dudes, i dont fear sparring. Im talkin about confidence wise when u lose it gets shot

u know your ready when u grow hair on yo balls.

i like this response the best lol!

but another way of knowing ur ready is to jus go in there and put that **** out of ur mind and do ur best. if ur fighting in the AMs, ur gonna lose, the points system makes it hard to be undefeated. every champion now lost fights in the AMs. dont sweat it too much, jus do ur best, and make sure u have more wins then losses.

That is a sick picture of Judah, where did you find that?
