A HUGE problem within our sport…

It’s ironic because I literally just saw this play out over the last week with the guy. I kind of know. One of the worst things EVER in boxing… is when you get someone who really doesn’t know the sport inside and out, but they open a gym and have fighters who they are responsible for (because the process of becoming a licensed coach is a joke) and end up leading them to slaughter purely out of their own ignorance. They have no idea what they are doing, and are easily fooled and misled by booking agents, matchmakers and promoters on the professional level who literally play them like violins in order to do one thing and one thing only and that is to use their fighters as sacrificial lambs… these complete idiots find out how easy it is to turn one of their amateur boxers professional but once they sign that paper, they become sitting ducks for people in the game who are just waiting to brutally use them up without a care in the world for them. The gym owner/“trainer” thinks he’s this big shot mover and shaker now because he got a guy on a card somewhere -maybe even on the televised undercard- and he plays the role of the big shot all over the Internet, bragging about the upcoming fight without having any idea that they have been pulled right into their own destruction. Their unsuspecting young “fighter” (who should never go pro in a million years!!) who foolishly and naïvely trusts this CLOWN to take care of him, is going to get brutalized because his career is in the hands of someone who has no idea what they are doing and is nothing but a wanna be in the sport. In one regard, our sport IS in fact a JOKE. Only in boxing can you get a license with your name on it as a “professional” even when the fact is, you are nothing even close to being one. #YouCantWaitBecauseYOUarentTheOneFighting​
