Is it too late for me.....

Today is my first day on these forums! And I will complete my dream! I will try until I cannot anymore! But enough talk, actions speak better than words! I will kee you guys updated, on how everything goes! And If I do make it pro Ill STILL post one here! lol! Also Thanks everyone SO much in this topic! I really apreciate it! You guys made me wanna pursue this even more! Im hyped! Again thank you!

Im 18 years old, and I wanna be a boxer! Can I still grt into making this my career? Ive had the dream since a child and love boxing, but is it too late? Ive never even steped in a boxing gym before! And what will I tell my family? That I want boxing to be my career? They are probably expecting me to go to school... It's not late, but no matter what, don't forget to study and get some kind of degree. The streets are full of people prepared for the job you want. If you do well in boxing. Don't forget about us. Keep us posted on the good days and bad ones too. We will back you posting shit about you, your style and who should you fight. Same old, same old...:439:

Anything is possible man you just have to put in the WORK. If it is your dream don't quit when your coach tries to break you because he wants to see who has the heart for the sport and who doesn't.

I JUST LOOK AT THESE NAMES! kermit cintron started boxing aged 19 as did paul williams, grady brewer didnt trun pro until 28, carl froch until 26! anything is possible!

poster is fakin yall

no..............................it's not about how early you start but about how good you end up being. nicely written

So youre saying If theres not some rich guy as my connection, I can go pro if Im really good? Wtf are you talking about? you started a whole other thread abot how you think boxing is fixed and fake, why would you want to do it then. I just thought it was funny you made a thread questioning boxings validity and then one about getting started, thats all. If you're really good you can still make it, just that you're at a disadvantage compared to all those with more experience and all.

Well I have been in various street fights....Not sure if that matters. I have a pretty good chin. I so hyped to do this now! This is my dream! Good that will help more than you might think. Especially in the Am's, when it because a battle of nutrition when your just throwing everything at each other to win a 3 rounder. Technique might have to go out the window sometimes.

Don't even start now if you think boxing isn't real, unless you have hook ups with a Vince Mcmahan like guy int he boxing world who can do for you what he did to the rock. So youre saying If theres not some rich guy as my connection, I can go pro if Im really good? Wtf are you talking about?

ok, Why should I remember that name? OH, you don't know who Michael Grant is..........hmmmm.....well.....before you start off on this journey I suggest you watch a lot of tapes of all weight classes. Lots of tapes....lots....

Who is that? You? HAHA, no fool. He's a HW that started at 25. He did OK? but had a glass jaw and got exposed.

Gracias Pa! I really am serious about this but it just seems hard to do so many things at a time! It's not impossible....sometimes I feel the biggest determination in the world and then I get injured and I can't train for a while and I loose that determination and drive and I become lazy only training once a week but that fire always sparks up again and I start training like an animal.

Michael Grant....remember that name..... Who is that? You?

Do what you know best. Right now I'm assuming you don't know nothing about boxing technique so you need to use your head and rationalize things. Alot of fighters are determined but just cuz their determined it don't mean that they're gonna be a superstar champion and make millions per fight. papa te lo estoy diciendo ahora pa que orita tu no puede decir no nadie te lo dijo tu sabe. You could atleast go to a trade school and learn a trade, do something man. I'm a full time college student and I got 2 jobs and I still got time to train so don't tell me that its too much to handle. usa la cabeza que papa Dios te dio Gracias Pa! I really am serious about this but it just seems hard to do so many things at a time!

Michael Grant....remember that name.....

Yes. I know completly what Im getting into! And I am very determind to do this! But I mean How can I pursue my boxing career of going pro, when I have to keep going to college, school. Get what Im saying? This ****** sucks! I dont know what to do! Do what you know best.

...not trying to be mean... If this was ur dream why are you waiting until now? Being 18 def isn't to late as long as you start doing it now. Join a boxing gym, train, and see how you like it before you train in Puerto Rico...haha Most fighters never make it our of there home city to train. In any event, try it out, because its different when ur actually doing it. Don't think of it as a carrer yet when in all honesty, you yourself do not know what you are made of. Just a bit of advice.

look man don't be stupid. I don't wanna break your dream, you could still follow your dream but I suggest you still go to school and do boxing on the side. Have a plan b cuz what if you don't make it? boxing look easy until you get popped in the face. I started training in boxing at age 20. I'm 21 now and I'm a college student. I don't plan on going pro, I just wanna fight for tournaments and get a belt. You need to go to a strictly boxing only gym and once you get a trainer he will take you to amature bouts once he feels you're ready. Don't think it's gonna be a walk in the park tho, waking up at 6 in the morning to run 5 or 7 miles aint easy. You gotta be a strong minded person to be a boxer. hope that helps.... Yes.
