    Who here goes to Gleason's gym in Brooklyn?

    Is it true that in Gleason's you can easily pick out other members to fight full contact with you in the rings they got there? What is the heaviest bag they have there?
    I am 233 pounds 22 years old and 5"9 from Jersey City and am looking for SERIOUS sparring partners who's a tough son of a ***** who will stop at nothing. I don't care if it's the world heavyweight champion himself, some 350 pound Valuev clone or whatever....I'll fight him.
    I havent started competing in amateurs since since I've only started boxing a month ago...but definitely need sparring partners to beat the **** out of...

    So who goes to Gleason's?

    I havent gone to this gym yet since im all the way from Jersey City...but plan to join very soon.....

      I agree , at that weight and height you will get your ass beat, especially at a gym like gleasons. at 5'9 you should be a welterweight at least, not super heavy.

        kid sounds like hes got heart tho.... seriously you'll probably get beat up for the 1st few months but if you stick with it you'll start getting the hang of it....... also you may want to consider moving down in weight unless your like a Tyson or Tua type

          I am not trying to brag or to be a keyboard warrior, which is what it may sound like. I am trying to locate sparring partners who is similar to my 233 pound weight class on this board to meet up with me in Gleason's, or the gym I go to now, the World Boxing and Fitness Center in Jersey City. I know that if I want to box I must fight other pros to gain fighting experience before I can even THINK about fighting in comps. Don't get me wrong...I am prepared mentally and physically to take a severe beating from other pros who are MUCH more experienced than me. ****...I got nothing to lose.
          But, being born deaf, I have been beaten down constantly all of my life mentally, and can handle pain, physical and mental since I am adapted to it.
          I am probably going to join Gleason's as soon as my membership runs out and make the hour and a half trip to Gleason's every other day to hit the heavy bag and spar with the best pros I can try to locate.
          So if anybody with my weight class and aggression can spar me...let's do this...

              no doubt... when u start sparring they'll put u in with guys from all different weight categories.. first you'll defintly need to lose some weight and at least get down to 178 or 165 maybe even lower.. i know a guy who came in the gym 185 and now fights at 125 .. 5'9 and 233 is very overwieght.. the attitude u have is like alot of guys that start out.. and we all get humbled quick lol believe me... boxing is an experience good luck

                I work near exchange place in Jersey City and travel all the way back to queens to get home. It's not such a rough commute. But at 5'9 wouldn't you be better dropping down to atleast cruiser weight?

                    Thanks man. I'm looking forward to making the transition to Gleason's, since I've heard that it's one of the last few old school boxing gyms left in the country and is full of very competitive ****ers.
