I've got my first fight in 10 days, I feel fit and ready but has anyone got any last minute advice for me? Last minute training tips, things to do on the day e.t.c. Many thanks for any replies! :boxing:

train normaly until 2-3 days from the fight then shadow boxing and light pad work.

relax, last minute training advice or technique advice is bad

have pasta n tuna before the fight

make sure u kno what time ur boxing

Just listen to your trainer. Do what he tells you to do.

First fight....stick to the basics. Don't get over anxious or try doing anything crazy or fancy. Use your jab and stick to the basics.

I remember my first fight, I was boxing real good and feeling real sharp in sparring. Then when the fight started I just went after the kid like he stole something lol. I won the fight but man I was exhausted and completely abandoned my game plan. The whole fights a blur, and I don't even remember it lol. I just remember throwing a bunch of punches as hard as I possibly could.

So my advice is to try and stay calm, and stick to the basics.

Good luck man. First fights the hardest one.

Cheers everyone! A few people have now told me I probably wont remember most of it hahaha Like u say I'm jus gonna try an keep it cool and keep my basic techniques and defence tight time will tell! I'll try and get a video taken and get it uploaded for some post fight advice!

Other kid is just as nervous as you, so just relax, keep your hands up and in tight, throw short straight punches and pace yourself

If he charges at you just stand your ground and cover up, take his shots on your gloves and then fire back with short straight shots down the middle.

Good luck

Honestly, there is probably nothing you can do to prepare for your first few fights other then being in shape. You can train all you want and learn all the technique you want. You can have a plan to go in, jab, move around, and work combos. But fact of the matter is, your first few fights you have no experience. I dont care if you been fighting your whole life. The second you get in that ring, hear the crowd, see your opponent... Then that bell rings, and you get punched.. All boxing goes out the window, and it is a slug fest.

The best thing you can do is try to keep as much composure as you can, and keep talking to yourself to remind yourself you are BOXING, not fighting.

Goodluck!

No matter how tired you are, no matter how hurt you are, no matter how hurt he is, keep your hands up chin down. Keep repeating in your head hands up chin down, hands up chin down, hands up chin down. A lot of times that can make a huge difference in a fight between two new boxers.

1 thing i learned is if u let them swarm u they get confident i got stopped in my 3rd fight because he got confident.

ive just had my first fight which i won,

the fight will be a complete blur and you wont remember much of it, your legs will go weak, your arms will hurt and your lungs will be burning, but because of the adrenaline it all goes so quickly and is not as bad as it sounds,

box as clever as you can, he will probably be out there throwing bombs and swining like most begginers so just keep your self calm and composed and pick him off, dont lose your head, be SMART.

dont tire your self out before the fight, warm up and get loose but dont tire your self out and dont do too much shadow boxing
its a great day so enjoy it.
