Manny, Wladimir disappointed w/ themselves

[j]

Just a big fan of boxing who has watched lots of fights I also have a massive collection of fights. I have done a bit of boxing training and I work out on my bag at home 5 days a week, I wouldn’t admit to being a good boxer and I would agree that I am not the most knowledgeable person on here but just because I am not a great boxer doesn’t mean I don’t know anything about the sport I think I know enough to make a reasonably good analysis of a fight.

i am happy to know you have aqtleast a bit of training. and no, i wouldn't say you know nothing.

my point, not supposed to be directed at you per say, is that anyone who hasn't spent hours upon hours learning and training how to fight doesn't, and would not know how fighters feel and respond during situations. anyone who hasn't spent over 1,000 hours or more boxing or sparring is only going to be able to have an outsiders perspective.

i haven't fought "officially", but i started learning how to fight over a decade ago. i have many hours of sparring and train everyday for at least an hour. and i am not counting streetfighing encounters as they are against untrained fighters and usually last less than a minute.

a major point is that when you spar and train, you gain a lot of respect for others who train and fight. i have found that the more experience gained usually makes for more humble and insightful people.

almost forgot. i too have a big collection of fights on tape and dvd. a few hundred or so. but get out there and experience different schools of thought on fighting and you will have a lot of fun, bruises, and also a new insight on the sport.
