I used to take boxing but had stopped a year ago. I was in the gym everyday from monday-saturday, sunday was a rest. I just turned 17, I weigh about 106-108 but I'm 5'8. I was told the opponents at that weight are a lot smaller then me and there are very few people that are my age and weigh the same as me so my division is really thin so I wouldn't have to go through many people to get a title. I usually spar against people that weigh around 115-130. I have a strong right hand. My coach often tells me to ease down on sparring because the sparring partners say I'm hitting too hard. I'm in Ontario but I had a fight in Detroit but my opponent didn't show up.. my coach told me this happens in amateur and he hates it. I have trouble with fighters who are faster than me and at 106-108 I might see a lot of that. My natural fighting style is in-fighting. I would like to try out boxing again and win a title. So I have 2 options:
1. Add some muscle and fight at a higher weight where I would have a speed advantage. More competitors in this division so it could be more difficult to climb to the top but I would be able to fight my type of style.
2. Maintain my weight and learn and train to use my height as an advantage.
