My fights from the NY Golden Gloves...

Hey guys this is Anthony Karperis. I've been boxing for about two years now and I participated in my first Golden Gloves this year. I'm in the 132 Novice class and I made it into the finals and I'm fighting at MSG in about two weeks. I have my fights on youtube and I wanted to see what you guys thought. I got off to a rough start in my first fight, but I;ve been trying to learn from my mistakes. If you guys have any constructive criticism that'd be great. I wanna learn as much is I can. THANKS February 5, 2008 Anthony Karperis(Gold) v Daniel Hernandez(Blue) http://youtube.com/watch?v=n5G3MUg0HH0 February 27, 2008 Anthony Karperis(Blue) v Andrew Laguillo(Gold) http://youtube.com/watch?v=k8sWvsj6XW8 March 14, 2008 Anthony Karperis(Blue) v William Andrade(Gold) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZKXVLfvku8 March 27, 2007 Anthony Karperis(Blue) v Carlos LaCayo(Gold) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsxyVv943o0 April 18, 2008 Anthony Karperis(Blue) v Marlon Charlton(Gold) http://youtube.com/watch?v=p3T7PS_yAUY

Hey guys I won the finals!! the day started off when i went to the city to weighin around 11, i weighed in a lb under...but anywayz i made weight and hung around the whole day at the affinia in the city, 6 o clock i had to be back at msg where i waited to go on around 8:45...anywayz the first round started off feeling eachother out a bit and i noticed i could land my jab at will so i used it to set some other stuff later on. we traded some combos and i noticed he wasnt as strong as i thought he would be so i wasnt afraid to get in and strike to the body...towards the end of the round he kept his hand high so i teed off to the body with some cotto-esque shots haha 2nd round started off and like i ssaid i used my jab a lot and i would hit the body with it and come over with an over hand right which landed on the button and sent him back...i went after him on the ropes til he got out of the corner...third round we pretty much went after eachother and i moved my head a lot, i noticed he couldnt figure out my defense so i just kept with it...anywayz i won by a unanimous decision and boy am i pumped hah thanks again for your support and ill get the video up sometime when it gets on msg, because my friend who taped it did horrible job because he wasexcited haha

Thanks all you guys I appreciate. Like I said it was my first gloves, so I didn't really know much about the South Bronx Pal having so much of an influence on the outcomes and stuff. Interesting stuff though. And trust me you have no idea how appreciative I am for being able to get to the finals on the first try. I put in a lot of hard work though so it really does pay off, people don't lie when they say that expression...as for posting in the nutrition forum and stuff, I just really started using the forum now, I signed up to see the videos and stuff but now I'm coming to the forums more regularly so I'll definately post stuff....if guys have any questions about how I train or diet lemme know, I'm more than happy to help

Why would you want to get punched in the head? It's dangerous and folly!

Looking good! You should post in the training and nutrition forum. There are too many "yeah, I'm 25-0 with 23 KO's" liars and not enough real fighters...
