The next big thing in boxing!

I was at the show and that was a sick KO it had the whole place standing up when he ended up out of the ring, it looked like a slinky he just keep sliding out. But he was giving up too much space and getting touched alot lucky the guy had no power he tries to be to cute defensively. Yeah I don't know whats up with that, if it's being on tv and wanting to impress, or a lack of respect, or what, his style has changed over the years, especially since he's gotten bigger. He use to be tiny.

I've heard a lot about this kid, is he Muslim? Just askin cos oft he name. Heard he was very impressive in his last fight too, I'll keep an eye out for him.

Bump What yall think?

Thats awful. They should require a license to be a boxing trainer, one that you can only get after passing a test to show that you know what you're doing. In France it's pretty hard to be a boxing trainer, you have to take classes, work and study under a licensed trainer for years. I wish the USA adopted similar policies, NY is flooded with people in the boxing biz who are nothing but hustlers. And some of these managers, my god. Some of these dudes are legit bums, theyll sign anyone to a ridiculous contract and try to get them a fight with anyone, because WTF do they care about the fighter. I've seen these guys walk up to fighters with contracts and a lawyer, with no connections in the boxing biz at all, but still wanted to own a mother fcker.

careful what you wish for!! that would have many more problems than an imbecile allowed to flourish in what should be a self regulating environment. I believe they have licensing in England and it seems to work well over there. (Unless I'm mistaken.) Don't see why it wouldn't work here as long as the requirements were setup by a group of knowledgeable pro trainers.

Felix Verdejo will be the next big thing in boxing.

Trying to put a name to the Spanish kid.....Serrano as in the sisters? That was in ridgewood right by the L. Mendez changed locations now couple of good fighters who were there left now. You know how it is once you get to a certain point you need to move on. Only good people I stop by to see on occasion is Leon and Spider. Camacho Jr stops by occasionally but he's easy to handle. Kind of a cowardly lion once he's in tough. Yeah the Serrano sisters, Amanda goes seriously hard in the gym. Seen her do 7-8 rds with boys, going hard, get out the ring and start doing pull ups. Never seen a girl work like that, but yeah your right, the gym is in ridgewood, it's actually right on the boarder to ridgewood and bushwick. That gym is legit though, Good trainers, and a nice gym, and you can get the biggest plate of banging Mexican or polish food for 5$ just around the corner. One thing that amazed me about the boxing game in NYC is how many trainers had 0 experiece in the sport, dudes were straight frauds, trying to charge people 160$ a month, freaking crazy, and every gym had them. I saw one really old guy who use to ALWAYS hang at Mendez a lot when it was on 26th, he trained a kid at fight house, he had this Spanish kid throwing some wild overhand looping left hook, the kid fought his first fight in the gloves, and got koed, and tore his rotator cuff. This guy really thought he knew what he was doing, ended up doing serious damage to that kid. Felt terrible for the kid, he had no clue he was being brought on a some old guys fantasy.

I know most fans here don't care about fighters they don't know, but I felt I should put this kid on now for you guys to hear about. I trained with this kid for years, since he started. He loves everything about this sport, is a straight gym rat and good kid, he's gotten much bigger over the years but he use to be much smaller and faster, but now that he's big, he has the skill and style of a smaller fighter, but the size and power of a big guy for his weight. He lost to Errol spence in the last round to represent the USA in the olympics. Not bad considering spence is the best of the group. My gym trains a straight pro style so you dont need to worry about that bs amateur style. Our gym is knwom for training a good cross. Were not hugely known because all our best fighters go to jail, but I promise Amir imam is going to be a champ. Here's a highlight from a pro fight vs a kid who has way more experience than him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u54ughV8ZaU&feature=youtube_gdata_player Here's a interview from his amateur days, at my gym. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBLQoxsSuN8&feature=youtube_gdata_player Sorry no. Tiger Muhammad will shred this kid. :boxing:

I knew Joey, but I didn't like his style and my trainer in Albany said he thinks the reason emanuels fighters at then time keep losing is because of Joey. And yeah, his son sucked. I use to best on one of his pros pretty bad. I worked with del, Danny, and Simon, though, use to spar with del, he's Actuslly the only person to ever put me down. I liked Mendez, but that gym was so freaking small. They had a few guys my size who were pretty good though, one was a golden glover from jersey, older Spanish kid, he was tough, but a fcking coward, probably why he never went pro. He trained people there to sometimes, i forgot his name though. Trying to put a name to the Spanish kid.....Serrano as in the sisters? That was in ridgewood right by the L.

And I forgot the gyms name in bushwick, it was by the L stop though, some very tough youngsters there, I think Amanda Serrano trained there.

Which gym in bushwick? As for fight house did you work with joey gamache? I used to work his son over pretty bad at mendez. Not good against southpaws at all I knew Joey, but I didn't like his style and my trainer in Albany said he thinks the reason emanuels fighters at then time keep losing is because of Joey.

Sad State of affairs. The lack of dedication to the sport is turning these guys in. Youngsters like that need guidance - though I'm as anti-left wing as it gets, you gotta wonder if a communist system at that age is what American boxing needs. True but you also have to remember this is an incredibly hard lifestyle. Once you reach a certain point the only way tomget better is spar guys better than you, which means getting your ass kicked over and over. It's why a lot of guys who stick w it, are crazy.

I'm not gonna lie, I take pride in not growing up a wuss. Were old school upstate, I grew up fighting bare knuckle rules, with a circle of people around me. It def helped mold me to be the person I am today. Ps I only trained on quail in Albany, trained all over in NYC when I lived there. I just didn't like any of the gyms there. Tje only gyms I liked there was fight house and a gym in bushwick. Which gym in bushwick? As for fight house did you work with joey gamache? I used to work his son over pretty bad at mendez.

We had the #1 amateur super heavy in the country, lost to wilder in the last fight to make the Olympic team. He's ridiculously good, can fight switch stanced, was fitting grown men at the age of 16, a complete natural. His name is kimdo bethel, he doesnt just take it serious for some reason anymore. He should be fighting klitshcko by now. He fought like James toney. Our best fighter went to prison for killing a city dude. Unfortunately city folk think Albany is a bunch of red necks and *****s and they can run **** here cuz there from the city. Little do they know most people who get killed here are loud mouth city dudes. Sad State of affairs. The lack of dedication to the sport is turning these guys in.

Sounds like you're proud of having a violent city man. That aside. Under your avy says nyc but you're from albany? Where do you train? I'm not gonna lie, I take pride in not growing up a wuss.

Addix what gym do you train at? Quail st boxing in Albany ny, were Actuslly the last fully funded city gym in the country. The head trainer is the trainer for the ny state team. Great guy, amd Actuslly cares about the kids. He loses them because they all want to go pro, and he doesnt think there rdy. Unlike most trainers he doesn't chase the $. Sp they either leave, or they quit, or leave to take care other responsibilities. I trained in 5 gyms in the city, none of them tought technique or watched out for my health the way he did. I had a pretty easy time sparring with guys in the city and amazed by the beatings there trainers allowed them to take in the gym.
