The other day I was gonna box my cousins boyfriend and his friend were there. So he starts talking all this tough boxing talk. So im just sitting there like man you dont know shit. So I slowly crawl into the conversation talking boxing. Then the subject comes up 'lets lace the gloves up and box.' So im down. My cousins boyfriend is outside and so are all his homies. My cousin doesnt want me to do this because she doesnt want me to get 'killed.' LOL little did they knew I knew what I was doing. Then we were all laced up. And I can see everybody just ready to start cracking up. So they say 'GO!' So I get in the southpaw stance and everyody starts laughing. One of his homies says something like 'look the dude dont even know how to stand when hes fighting!!!!' So Im just eating it all up inside. I start cracking him with jabs and dancing circles around him. For every 10 jabs or so I land he lands about 1 or 2 hooks. Now everybody is like quiet I think they were surprised at my footwork and good technique. So I throw a left hand and it misses and then a jab and that misses and then he thorws an uppercut that kinda hurts me. So he throws looping left hook and I just blast a left hand starigh on his chin. And he drops on his ass and he gets up and takes off his gloves. He starts complaining how I was hitting him low and behind the head and that he was done. So we are done and everybody acts like aint nothing happen and boxing isnt mentioned for the rest of the night. Has something like this ever happened to you?

At first I had to be careful with that shit. When I first started watching boxing like 2 years ago, I went to Mexico and they had them boxing gloves so I laced them up with a 21 year old (btw I was 14). I sucked back the LOL Everybody was laughing at my technique cuz I would thorw a orthodox jab and keep my hand in the air for like 4 second LOL and get hit in the face like 5 times. But as this post shows Ive improved LOL

I may have told this story before, but a guy at my wife's office had been getting too buddy-buddy with her. Crossing over from the "friend zone," if you know what I mean. Inviting her to lunch, going to her musical performances, etc.

Instead of telling me about it, she took matters into her own hands and told him, "My husband has a boxing match on Saturday, and I hate sitting by myself. You should come."

"A what?"

"Oh, he's a boxer. He has a fight this weekend."

"Um. . . . sure, I'll come."

That was the match that I won by RTD not long ago. A real slugfest.

He keeps a good distance these days, she says. :boxing:

I know egsactly how you feel, im a boxing fanatic i read way to much stuff and i train 3 times a week and having a fight soon ive been boxing for 2 years now and i know way to much anyway....

the otherday in my class i was listening to a group of people talking about boxing . like they all know everyting they were all like ''mike tyson is the best boxer at the moment i think'' and theres this guy who goes to this really crap gym and he thinks he can box he has been going for about 1 month and hes stood telling the whole class how to stand and hes showing all the girls the punches he knows and everyone is saying ''your the best boxer in the school'' to him, however they dont really know that i train my arse off boxing, in the seniors , i spar older guys who are really good and tugh amatures, i constantly read eat sleep boxing, but non off them no this, so this other guy point over at me and says ''he boxes'' and they all come over and ask me ''who would win in a spar'' i dont want to sound bigheaded so i ' shrug my sholuders and say i dont know'' the whole class bursts out lauging as if they think im stupid and they think he would kill me, he laughs and says ''we will have a spar then, i will go easy tho '' and he starts laughing, i agreed to spar him knowing how easy it would be'
at lunchtime he goes home to get he shiny everlast gloves his rich dad bought him, by lunch time the whole school knew about it and were all saying how he was gonna beat me so badly and how funny it would be, anyway my best freind who knows me loads starting taking best in lol,
so the guy shows up chucks me some old raggy red gloves wiht the padding coming out, and put on his shiny everlasts, a a huge circle of the crowd formed and we were gonna box, everyone lauging at me an shit, so wen we come together i hold out my glove as we do in sparring to touch gloves and he ovbiusly didnt know what to do and he hit my with a straight shot unexpectidly that knocked me back, everyone in the crowd was lauging an cherrin him on, i was now backed up against a building he came up ready to throw agin, and i turned him, so his back was against the building, left hook straight right and then pummeld about 20 shots straight into his wide open face until he sought of like bent his knees and kinda sat down againmst the building everyone went kinda quiet, i put the gloves on his lap and walked away,

anyway he came up to me at the end of the day acuseing mr of stealing his new everlast gloves and wants the money, he also acused me of cheating by punching him when he wasnt ready or somintg,

anyway since then people ask me alot more questions about boxing and i bring me gloves in and other bring theres and we organise miny spars and lunchtime which are hilarious watching the people who cant box ,box.

thought id share that with ya

many people and boxing coaches (who are new to me) think I cannot punch or box well because I do muay thai and brazilian jiujitsu. This irritates me because they are so close minded. There was this guy at a public gym I was visiting and he was telling me about how good boxing was. He also said that with good boxing you dont need any kicks, knees, grappling or anything else. He said if a grappler came in like this, a boxer would counter with this and he showed me some ridiculous wrestling move gone wrong. THe whole time I'm thinking this guy is a douche because I have started boxing way before any of those other styles and I knew the guy was full of it. I interrogated him and after I asked him if he ever competed, he tells me only in backyard brawls. He asked me if I wanted to compete I said I do and he asked me more so I told him more and then he shut up after that and didnt talk to me again.

ya so i think its safe to say that im not the only one that gets into arguments, fights or call outs to come to my gym from other people that know im a boxer. Another time is when i got into a fight in my driveway with my old sparring partner. Man it was ****ed up but all the drugs and alcohol took his skill away and putting him down on the pavement was easy as 1-2 not even 3 lol

When i came to college at the begining of this year i told people i box and that i was gonna take the first semester off to get my grades up then go back to trianin afterwards. Anyway next week EVERYONE wanted to learn and spar. so i got my two pairs of gloves, pretended i was floyd mayweather (i only went to their body while they could hit me anywhere) and then i'd pop them real well. i earned their respect, and inspired them to finda gym for themself and learn properly.

Yeah at school we were playing a game called red letter. Where you have say two teams of five and one team thinks of its own word and every member gets a letter. The other team has to beat it out of the other team to get the word. Great game.

Well anyway I had this guy who was a complete dick. So I gave him a dead leg and he suddenly starts crying his ****in' eyes out that turns to start hitting me. He had no power at all. So I just threw hook after hook all connecting knocking him down to his knees still crying, by now a crowd had formed so I contnued to pound his face to the groud with solid punches while he couldn't get up or block.

He ****in' crie dhis eyes out in front of the whole school. We were both 16 too :lol1:

Anyway I got expelled for that shit, but that cunt really deserved it.

I went to a private high school and right up the street from it there is a big public school wherre a bunch of kids from philly go to and half the kids think they are the toughest kids in the world and can beat up any private school kid. One night i was out with my friends and we were hangin out and just walkin around and all these kdis from the public school walk up to us. Their tryin to act tough and push us around and the kids there are pointin to this other somewhat small but muscular kid and they say "this kids a boxer he'll **** all yall up" then the kids like "yeah anyone wanna ****in try an fight me". Now I've been boxing for about a year by now im pretty good i won my first fight and im still goin but i have never bragged about boxing. And this kid said he was a boxer and there is only on gym around there for boxing and ive never seen him there. So i say i box to and ill fight him one on one if he wants to. He starts callin me a pussy and a bitch adn all he takes off his shirt all of his friends are ready to see me get my ass kicked. Before we even started i knew what he would do, he would walk up and just throw some insane loop right hook, so when we start i first just give him a jab, then he throws that insane looping right, i duck under it come it and throw a right he walks into it and hits him right on the chin. he stumbles around and still tries to fight then i gave him an uppercut and he wasknocked out on his feet and i just tapped him down. his friends had to wake him up then he stumbled away with his friends.

Eshays!

I've had a few cases of that, but actually I had more cases of people overestimating my ability.
I started going to the boxing gym when I was 15 and kids at school found out soon after. So the boxing along with the fact I'm a big guy mean't that whenever there was a fight going on people used to try to get me involved, and lots of potential match making going on. Got pretty tired of it since I'd only been going to the gym for a few months at the time.

people with big egos don't learn much. their is already too full.

people like that will always complain when they lose instead of learning from their mistakes.

don't be like them.

invest in loss.

btw, no, i have never had that type of incident. i think my body language tells other people what they should know.

i hope you are not proud of beating down a lesser skilled person. taking care of him without having to actually punch his face in would work more to your advantage.

a good fighter wins without using force.

Really? He deserved that? Sounds to me like you're the one who deserves a good beating. You actually feel tough by beating on a guy when he's obviously had enough already just because a crowd has gathered? I'm sure that made you feel really tough.

I've always believed in Karma though, so I know that one day you'll get into a situation because of your overly large pathetic ego and someone will give you the beat-down that you so obviously deserve.

I can't stand anyone that brags about beating up people that obviously can't fight or when they keep on hitting someone who is done. Actually I have trouble standing anyone that brags about beating anyone up. There are a few understandable stories but most sound like school yard bully type shit to me. Lame pieces of junk.
