Originally posted by rogelio1289 View Postmy last fight was 8 years ago. And all my fights were in california. I know many people that had great amateur careers my best friend being one of them. Him getting singed by Golden Boy Promotions when Oscar first started promoting and seeing his ups and downs and seeing how much he was struggling financially to be a full time boxer pushed me to go to college full time and educate myself for my future instead of struggling turning pro. He has recently quit boxing as well. Boxing is a harsh sport and the chances of you making a good living off of it are not very good!!!! kinda like winning the lottery. If your an amateur right now enjoy it have fun i've met some great people from my amateur days many that im still friends with now. Go out there and have fun and if your really good enough to go pro and you think you can have sucess doing it go for it. but don't be so blind to the harsh reality of the sport of boxing and make sure you continue your education. You can lose a fight you can get robbed of decisions but no one can ever take your education and future away from you!!! Remember that and good luck.
For someone who went to college and got (or is getting) your degree, you sure don't type like it

It's so competitive it has ups and downs you deal with harsh people sometimes but all in all you can make good of it and do very good with yourself. Just make sure when you go pro you have managers that you can trust and you know are looking out for you and want nothing but the best for you. How long you been fighting? I would say get 5 or 6 good pro fights and then decide if its for you. To me i kinda have the attitude where i want it all or nothing. If i couldn't see myself being successful and making good money boxing i asked myself why would i struggle when i can go to school and make good money and live a good life. I love boxing!!!! I really wanted to try it i guess i was just too scared of failure seeing what my buddy (here's his boxrec http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php...2310&cat=boxer) went through i thought i'd learn from him. At first it was promising when he was signed by Golden Boy Promotion when Oscar first started it but all that did was introduce him to the harsh reality of the sport. had a bad fall out with oscar de la hoya and went back to fighting for the palace indian gaming center here. And he was a great fighter had an awesome amatuer and too see him struggle was a wake up call of how it can be.

Originally posted by La Maravilla View PostIve been boxing for about 5 or 6 years. Im 18 years old. Im going to study business and sports management in college. Id like to be a promoter or something, just be involved with the sport i love so much. But yea like i said, i would like to just give the pro game a try when im about 21, that has always been my plan. That way i dont always have to wonder what if? The pros from my gym are doing well right now but they have been match easily. One of them, at my gym hes like superman, and even though he won his last fight it was tough for him and he also got dropped. I was like damn.

Why not just go to Anaheim to have a play in the ring? It's only a short drive, supposedly, and you get to show your superiority against Rogelio, the supposed lying amateur fighter. Why not do it? You are asking him to do a lot of stuff so why not do this one small thing?
If you were serious about trying to show him up you would make that very small sacrifice. Seems pretty fair to me to go to some neutral ground. I wouldn't want to go to your gym either. You could be some freaky nutbag douche waiting with a bunch of friends to jump him. Just do it. You're the one trying to get him to fight you, so to make it happen just drive to Anaheim. He's already said he would do it if you went there. Sounds like someone doesn't want to do it to me.
Your friend didn't look too crash hot Rog. Nearly got neat in his second fight by a dude who had never won! How the hell was he signed to Golden Boy and have a successful am's career?! KO'd twice by nobodies and never got one knockout himself. Doesn't sound too promising to me. Not that I'm trying to get at you, but, you know....

You must not know that amateur and pro fighting is night and day. If you care enough go back a page where i talk about it. And he was signed by GBP when Oscar first started that company. GBP even put on an event here in fresno where Juan fought his first fight with GBP
