:mad: I have great power, speed, and defence but when i do get taged i somtimes go down too easily. I always get up right away but i still feel ashame of my self.

If you get up without much of a problem don't worry so much about it, everyone goes down...only advice i can give is to work on blocking and dodging...because if he just grazes you you'll stay up easier...oh and try some balance techniques

Yeah, the chin is more of a natural gift. Some fighters like Marciano can take a punch, others can't. While you can condition your body with a medicine ball it's not recomended to do the same to your head! lol

The more you box the better you will learn to react to punches. You will stop wincing and hopefully stay up right. Although the best thing is to not get hit. Work on your defense.

Triggerhappy..
There are TONS of GREAT fighters that have been knocked down in sparring, but seem to be unstoppable in fights..

Once you learn to relax more, you will be able to take shots better..

Also, from what I read in a lot of books, when you fight, you get so much adrenaline, that you hardly feel punches...

One thing that may help a little is strengthening the neck. A really good article about that is here:

dont be depressed yet triggerhappy. are u goin down coz of your balance or do ur knees buckle

I think its because of balance

u remind me of Zab Judah.. have u done the chicken dance too?

It could have a lot to do with you overall trap/neck durability.

There are various exercises but I'm far too throwed to go into em right now.

triggerhappy, if its balance u have nuthin to worry about, its nuthin. do u feel dizzyness or any black out feelin when you fall or any signs of a headache after the spar? if not then balance is nuthin really. and triggerhappy has pretty big muscles all around, i dont think his traps, neck wud be a problem

if you have good speed power and defence dont worry about getting tagged because you should be getting taged ;) nah im joking it sounds to me you are off balance , do you every lift a foot of the ground when your throwing a punch??,i am quiet lucky because im only 16 and ive never sparred with anyone my age i always sparr with 21 year olds or older which gets you used to geting harder hits :D

So u've been downed in fights? got back up? been stopped? k.o'd?

Basically all u can do is work on ur defense, some people say neck exercises can help, dunno how true that is. Maybe dynamic balance training would be a good idea if u think thats the problem. try checking out these for tips on balance : http://www.pponline.co.uk/encyc/balance-exercise.html http://www.afpafitness.com/articles/FunctBalance.html

my coach sed to me once, goin down from a punch doesnt mean u got a shit chin, its how u recover from a shot dat shows how tough ur chin is! cos every1 gets hit flush once in a while n u go down, but u can get up and stil be clear in da head! its tru aswel!
examples- larry holmes against shavers, ali against frazier, trinidad in almost any fight lol!

i bin down in a fight from a BIG hefty shot, no joke lol, but i got up b4 da ref even sed 1, and i never jumped up, just got up smoothly and i was al gud! won da fight aswel!:D

1thing u must NEVER do tho is JUMP up from a knockdown, if u want proof, find judahs chiken dance lol

safe

ill keep tht in mind for my first fight ;)

planiing to get knocked down? lol

triggerhappy...its psychological

if you expect a hard shot its always harder and you instinctively go down as protection

psych yourself up...get a bit arrogant

pug z stated the best fact,alot of boxers dont know how important balance is and if it is balance your chin is not suspect,ive been put down in sparring when i first started alot,worked on my balance havnt gone down since.....

this is good advice. i have a very strong neck and havent been knocked down since i was 16 i am 27 now and the closest i have come to going down in recent years was when i got hit in the chin with a hard uppercut from a bar stool. dude swung that ****er into my chin and i laughed at him. my chin did look like it had a golf ball on the end of it though.

Well just think, Lennox Lewis had a real weak chin and was one of the most exciting champs ever, made the Odds makers think twice every time and made people affraid to bet on him, you just never knew what would happen next in his fights.

Some of the funnest champs ever have power and bad chins, man they are fun to watch! Best fights ever! Gotta look at the possitive side, if you can KO your opponents they will want to get to that chin and KO you, making them wreckless and giving you a huge advantage!

this is from the guy who thought he was ready for me

Man 2k5...I would say your like Ali but he was called for...(The first post was called for, the second was oddly random!) :P

i get dizzy for a few seconds then it goes away

this is from the guy who thought he was ready for me

i will break you lil kid
i seen you spar u suck but u do have a weight advantage over me

if u get dizzy, then ye dats a legitimate KD. wen u get back up, are u dazed a bit or aare u perfect condition

if u get dizzy, then ye dats a legitimate KD. wen u get back up, are u dazed a bit or aare u perfect condition
When i get back up i am in perfect condition..but the dizzyness feels kinda cool.

It's human nature to hate something so similar to you...







...that's why you hate Tito you and him have the same qualities.

I have been knocked down once, but that was from a body shot, and that other guy had 10 oz fight gloves, outweighed me, and I had big pillows, and I was out of shape...

Some dirty ass shit, can't wait to go to a real gym where you sparr with 16!!!!

hey DaGreatest, do u spar with 10oz in ur gym, dats weird, we always spar with 16oz

ive never been down


except for when you went down on your boy friend

hey DaGreatest, do u spar with 10oz in ur gym, dats weird, we always spar with 16oz

I sparr with 16oz like a REAL man...
I can't believe the trainer let the other bitch wear 10oz..
