Venting a little... Here's my situation, I got my nose banged up good saturday, I knew it wasn't ready to spar today, but I didn't want to back out and look weak to the coach, so of course during the 2nd round I take a few shots and it bleeds again and eventually the coach stops it... Just extremely frustrated because I haven't learned any defensive work, and I've been thrown in the ring to spar with our golden gloves guys (the better ones) and I know i can't expect to do great, but i'm not getting a fair chance because the coaches are always busy with other things. I'm thinking I need to pay for a trainer...

Right now its not just alot about winning, your sparring. Its about learning. The first being to learn to lose and show up with knowledge the next day with that experience. It will come, be patient.

Rockin' :boxing:

also, the coaches will come to you in time if you show effort and initiative. If you show up a day here, a couple of days here, maybe one here then why should they waste their time? Last thing that they need is another kid that has to be pampered. You got to get it going yourself and work on what they want you to work on. In time they will come around, but I dont know your history at that gym.

Rockin' :boxing:

haha you think you have it bad, the exact same situation happened to me tonight and the first 3 rounds i got to fight my natural southpaw and the last 3 the coach wanted me to switch to orthodox and i got killed so bad, both nostrils bleed cut lip and this is with 14 oz gloves. i think it is there way of preparing us and getting ready. afterwards i felt like **** getting killed but my trainer told me the reason he put me in is because when you work with good boxers you will learn defense better and learn to become better and even be able to compete with them. with that being said the best advice i can give you is the self pride knowing that your the person in their taking the beating and learning. all the other people at the gym can sit there and say whatever they want but your self pride tells you taht your the one in there fighting and within time you will learn and get better

also you should feel honored to fight someone that is of that skill so early, obviously your coach wants you to good and strive for better. he wouldn't put one of his great fighters against a crap opponent in training, it would be pointless and actually bad for his training

you are lucky you had someone to spar with that's better than you.


trust me. I sparred with the same guy my first 5-6 times and got killed every time. I didn't know anything. But I figured **** out in there. And once I beat him once, he never beat me again.


(I also have 20 pounds on him) but that's how that goes sometimes.


Now they don't even let us spar together anymore even though he keeps talkin **** about how he used to make blood come out of my mother ****ing ears.

Thanks alot. I've been there every day for a little over 2 weeks now, and I plan on being there everyday in the future. Does anyone know how long it takes for your nose to heal up after a solid beating? Bloody noses dont hurt and it doesn't bother me, It just felt a little out of my control because I knew my nose would bleed after a round of solid shots because saturday I took a really good beating, but I got all I could get done at my level done, I got alot of double jabs and crosses in and moved and slipped most of the punches. I just want to have a healed up nose so I can go 3-4 solid rounds with these guys and not waste either of our time. Props to all of you, peace.

My nose bled non-stop for like the first 8 or 9 months. I went to a doctor to get it cautorized and he told me that it would stop soon without the procedure. Ya know what, it did. There was so many blood droplets spayed on the canvas at our gym. It will go away in time. You will build scar tissue once doing it long enough. Then you be good.

Honestly. The nose will bleed. And then bleed. And then bleed.

And maybe someday if your lucky it will stop bleeding. If its really a problem and you get really good maybe you can do what some boxers do and burn the inside of their noses so they won't bleed anyomore. Even then it will bleed a little bit.

Look at John Ruiz. His nose bleeds EVERY time he fights.

That's crazy! This doctor knew what he was talking about. haha I guess the sooner I get my nose broken and beat up more the better right? ha We'll see how things go, hopefully i'm not too much of a bleeder. And I guess i've contributed a decent amount of blood to the gym, so that's a good way of looking at it. :) :boxing:
