    I boxed in college for a few years and for a while when I was in the UK. The gym I trained at in the UK had the number 7 ranked WW in the UK and some other pretty impressive fighters. I really enjoyed the training and boxing is one of my biggest passions, but at the end of the day I simply lost too much weight when I was training to meet my other physique goals.

    I think the biggest thing that people who have never stepped in a ring don't realize is just how much getting hit hurts. I remember my first time sparring in the UK they put me in with a guy that was 195lbs and I was around 170lbs. I boxed circles around the dude but the first time he hit me with a straight right I was shocked at how much I felt it, and that was with 16oz gloves on haha.

        man it's hard as hell to keep your weight up. since coach told me to stop lifting weights - my biceps got smaller, and my pecs and shoulders got smaller - so small i had to go from a 42L to a 40L in suit size. Im still all sinewy and ripped up, but I don't look nearly as intimidating.

          Half the c*nts on here that talk **** about other fighters haven't once stepped foot in the ring.
          they are cowards themselfs thats why they talk shiet. they want to be fighters but dont have the balls so they call real men cowards to feel better about themselfs, while doing so over the internet keeps them nice and safe.

            Boxed for years n years, haven't had fights because of numerous injuries at the wrong time that put me out for a while, hopefully will soon.

                Been training for years and still train 5 days a week. Technically I suck but I make up for in in aggression and will power until some kid 15 years my junior takes me to school in sparring which happens quite a lot and then i just have to stand back and admire how good some of the kids are today.

                      To answer, I had boxing training when I was a young boy...very young boy. I never had a fight but the older I got, the more I got back into boxing. I played football throughout high school and college and did alot of boxing workouts. About a year and a half ago, I was in the gym with a former fighter (Arthur Jimmerson) and we trained with him. Heavy bag, mitts, body bag, jump rope, stuff like that. I still hit the heavy bag after football practice at my job when I have time.
