What boxingscene members are boxers?

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

That would be 99 out of 100 Mexican trainers. I always say that Mexican trainers are the bravest trainers and have the highest tolerance for pain of any humans in the world(when it comes to their fighters' pain and suffering of course). Cases in point-- JuanMa was too strong for Rafa Marquez and his legs were gone in about the 5th round and JuanMa was putting an ass whupping on the poor guy and Zaragoza the mouse(brain) still sends him out to get killed. Same for Garcia with Margarito etc etc

He had no business putting you in with someone who out weighed you by that much, and had experience when you had none. Just don't get that ****.

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.

That is very unusual, I mean not everyone goes to the gym with the intent to become a pro boxer, some kids just need some activity to do, and where I went they would train some ppl for a few weeks like me and some like a month before you even get in there and spar at all. Then maybe about 4-6 months if your ready the trainers will get you a fight.

I almost had a fight once, I was ready to go hands wrapped, very nervous but before I was going to go out my trainer found out that the kid I was supposed to fight had like 20 fights already and before you have 7 fights when your a novice your not supposed to fight anyone but other novices. I wanted to go out there and he looked kind of soft so being a dumb teenager I thought looks meant alot but my trainer was just looking out for me. He might have let me out had I not taken a bad beating in sparring though less than a week before, so I guess it was kind of my fault.

I would like to give you a bad beating.

The only reason I went to the gym was because that was what I felt I was supposed to do. Mexicans in the barrio have no glory so they esteem the drug dealers with $$$ and the ones who can fight. What I didn't mention was that I was always a lousy fighter in the first round of sparring because I would always feel sorry for the other guy. My sparring partners always landed and I wouldn't throw-- but then when I noticed that the other guy got ****y I turned into a very different animal. Umm, it was the same when I started kindergarten-- the other little Mexican boys were mean and agressive little bastards and they'd kick my ass all the time. I was a major dissapointment and embarrassment to my macho daddy whom I adored. I got into my first fight when I saw the bullies kicking my nerdy friend's as*. The nerds were the only buddies I had at the time. LOL! I'd love to know if anybody else had the same experience as I did-- getting gut checked in the first week or day??? This is the way it's done in my city--which is a well over 1 million pop SouthWest US city. Every gym that I've visited does it the same way. My older brother(I have 12 siblings--we are 8 boys and 5 girls) even went through the same thing in a Boys Club gym. Perhaps it's a Mexican thing or maybe it's just particular to my city. In regards to my aforementioned older brother-- that fool went into the ring high on heroine which is now unfortunately close to taking his life.
