    For the most part, training is everything. And that is all taught, through a trainer. At the same time, some people can see the things they need to do and can still capitalize off of that natural ability and boxing intellect, than he'll still do well.

    However, at some point, you'll need advice as a boxer. And then it all comes back to the trainer.

      this dude just started boxing and is now picking a fight w/ his friend... at this point it just comes down to who is the better fighter... maybe after 2-3 years of boxing he could whup his friends ass effortlessly, but he's still a beginner

        Yeah, at this point it's still essentially still just two dudes fighting. Rarely will someone put on gloves and just effortlessly pick up this sport. RARELY. This sport takes years to even figure out if you have the skills to learn what you truly need to know.

        At this point, you need to TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN. A few years down the road, things might be different. Practice is key. Like anything else in life worth pursuing.

              lol wtf you shouldnt be thinking of sparring yet... much less being serious about hurting someone in it.

              Let the trainer punish your friend that will be enough

                Okay people are exaggerating when they say it will take ''Years to notice a difference''. If somebody has been consistently boxing for 6 months and they go against somebody with no ring experience what so ever there will be a notable difference.

                That being said 2 months of irregular training and a lay off period of 5 months means you're in the same boat as your friend pretty much.

                    I agree with both statements. I would love to see the video of these two throwing haymakers and sucking wind after 2 minutes.

                    Staying relaxed is the most important thing I learned from sparring, but you can't just say "OK, I have to stay relaxed." You'll need to practice it.

                      one thing that works for me is double up the body hook and while he is protecting the body quickly go to the head...newbies dont expect it EVER at least in my experience...also doubling up the jab on occasion but not everytime because even the most primative fighter will catch on.
