What boxingscene members are boxers?

[G Doggy Dog]

What's worse was the trainer telling me(in Spanish) dumb **** like "don't quit" "show me your balls" "don't be a ******" "endure the whip" etc, etc-- nothing about sticking and moving cuz the gorilla is too big. Typical dumb Mexican machismo. It all worked out for the best though-- but I do have to say though that as much as I love watching boxing I'd ban it if I could. Laters.

geez man thats harsh. my boxing trainer said nobodys gonna get seriously hurt it aint a STREET FIGHT. go in there and learn a thing or two and not discourage you.

I was almost a boxer. I was veeeery tall for my division, fast, hard hitting and even harder headed(both literaaly and figuratively). In my first week I brutalized a 3 divisions bigger guy who'd brutalized everybody in every fight to win the golden gloves by KO's(ie 10 counts--not TKO's). The trainers in that gym gave every new guy a gut check in the first week so that they wouldn't waste time with quitters. After trying different guys they had to get a heavyweight who was 6" taller and 120 lbs heavier because I was too rough for everybody else. This heavyweight loosened my front teeth, bruised my eye sockets area of my face, slighty disfigured the cartilage on the inside of my nose to this day and the worse part is that he also affected my hearing. Needless to say he gave me a horrific beating. My brother was traumatized from what he witnessed. I went back the second day in severe pain figuring they'd give me a break-- until they anounced to me I'd spar the same guy again. I recall very clearly that when I looked across the ring at his massive shoulders I literally got instant diarrhea and almost **** myself. I barely beat this guy the 2nd time with pure determination and the whole of the gyms occupants, who'd stopped working out to watch, erupted in applause and cheering. My "boxing career" actually ended the first time I sparred this guy. I could not enter a ring again due to the damage caused to my ear. I never even had my first amateur match. The head trainer's daughter years later told my brother that he was so dissapointed at the fact that I could never fight that he quit and closed the gym. He's involved with amateur boxing now as an official on the state level. It worked out good for me because boxing could've affected my intellegence. If I had quit I would've been a fighter but my stubborness wouldn't let me. This is why I always hope for a quick KO by body shot for the fighter I'm rooting for. This is also why I hate it when trainers let their fighters take a beating. This affected me and so did watching a kid die in the ring a few years later.

It's hard to believe no one around your weight class could get the best of you, being you had no experience. I've seen countless numbers of new comers, and have never seen this happen. Were the people in the gym inexperienced?

They were experienced amateurs. I mentioned that. I didn't spar any pros. I was just a veeeery fast, very athletic and very strong kid. To give you an idea I have(had) very good 40 meter speed(4.5 in the early 90's), very good 2 mile time(9:11), was a very hard thrower(I won't tell you how fast-- you won't believe that one), very good kicker and very good swimmer. My family members used to also get the neighborhood together and get the kids/teenagers to fight. I whipped alot of very big guys. I don't mind if you don't believe it. Perhaps in the future I can show you some video of my jab. We can do it live. I promise I'll show you-- my jab is still very, very strong and very, very fast and my legs are still also somewhat fast and agile. I suppose I could get another person to pretend they are me but the fact is that the jab I will display is very good for anybody at any level. It would be too much of a coincidence that I just so happened to know someone who could jab like that. Let the holidays pass and I'll work on getting a camera. And keep in mind that I'm well beyond my physical prime. Umm, I can't no longer throw my right too much. I have an injury and I don't want to get operated so I won't throw unless I have to. Umm, I'll throw my left from a southpaw stance as well. That is also still very fast and very strong.

Damn don't get defensive I was just asking a question. No need to post videos, if it's true who gives a fucc who believes you.

Who among you are boxers yourselves, and who among you are just boxing fans?

[Shadow boxer 3]

Sorry-- wasn't meaning to be rude. Umm, you're right about what you said. What good is all that **** if I didn't make any sweet cash? Anyways, it was *THE AMATEURS*-- there's been a million and one world beaters in the amateurs who were given a good ol' fashioned project whuppin' once they turned pro.

Some people have no business training/Coaching. This is a classic example.
