Nervous for an upcoming fight...HELP?

i have an amateur fight coming up in like 9 days that will be in front of 200 people I AM SO NERVOUS. I keep thinking i am going to lose badly and that i have not fit enough for the 3 rounds. Please any advice. Be sure you run a few miles a day to build your endurance, and get good sparring vs guys better than you.. Even if you lose it's not the end of the world,, just learn from it

I was always told that being nervous meant you were taking it serious. I would always have some sort of nerves until I was already infront of him. Those what ifs can serve as motivation. Some of the older dudes used to always say that the day you feel you dont need to train that you dont have any more what ifs is the day you stop. You can never be too fit, too prepared, eager to learn and be better, etc. Keep working hard and trust yourself.

Even butterbean is fit to go 3 rounds so damn can we see a pic of your physique I'm really curious what you look like

Mike Tyson was so nervous he cried in Atlas'? arms, and then he went into the ring and knocked his opponent out (this was in the amatures.) We all breathe, we all bleed.

so did you ktfo your opponent?

My first fight was 100 plus people and honestly once the bell rings you zone out. Its a funny feeling cuz you can hear your coach's instruction and his coach, but the crowd gets tuned out lol. Just watch 24/7 for motivation and im not joking. Also your fav fighter's winning moments so they can do it so can you. Most importantly make sure to run run and run. Amateurs is mostly cardio anyways. So get on with that.

Don't listen to ^^^^ this guy nervousness/fear is normal and I would argue necessary... Like other posters have said harness that fear get through the first minute or so of the round and you'll do fine. Nothing that hasn't happened in sparring is going to happen on fight night... These thoughts worked for me, I bet you never even fought

If you have these thoughts than don't fight. You must climb in as Thinking no one can beat me I'll beat the crap out of this guy. If your worried about the crowd don't look at them entering the ring nor pay attention to the crowd just look at your opponent until the bell rings. I had close to 100 amateur bouts I'm not some key board warrior like many on this site so I hope you take my advice Don't listen to ^^^^ this guy nervousness/fear is normal and I would argue necessary...

Oh.. when you are in deep.. one thing I would do is envision something worth fighting for that gives you strength. What it is depends upon you. Could be your folks, woman, children, the Lord, or something else. Whatever it is that helps define your core as a human being. Echo it through your mind if doubt strikes you.. it should reverberate like a great wind through a canyon. Tap into this focus for greater strength and fortitude. Good luck let us know how you do.

Butterflies are natural. Say a prayer, if you are so inclined. if not, tune out everyone but your opponent. Keep your focus and your cojones. If youve prepared adequately you wont be caught thinking, it will happen all by itself.

Imagine the audience in their underwear

I've been there man. Trust me the nervousness only lasts for the first round. If you've done enough sparring, then by the time the first round is done you will feel comfortable again. I really hope you've done plenty of sparring though. You really have to be comfortable sparring before stepping up to an actual match. Your sparring sessions should tell you everything from where your conditioning's at to how well you're applying your technique in a live setting.

Honestly watch 24/7. Think about the mentality Floyd Pacquiao and Marquez have. Go out there and take that motherfukahs soul! In the last stage of boot camp, we had to fight another recruit (with headgear of course) I was nervous as **** but I kicked his ass. The doc had to come help him out. Nerves are a good thing. Get that adrenaline pumping, but when it starts, try to keep calm
