Keep workin thats the way you do it man.I remember when I first sparred. I went up against this guy who was much older and more experienced than me. Man did I get whooped. It was pretty bad. I don't know if the trainer wanted to weed out the weak or not, but I didn't quit. The next day, I asked to spar him again. I kept asking and getting my chances. Then one day, I beat him good. I got the better of him ever since. It was nice to finally accomplish a goal I set for myself after a lot of hard work.Comment

Been training since I was 17 off and on and now im 24. Sparred hand fulls of times but no amatuer fights. But I hope to soon.
But I always have the worst luck with gyms. 1st one I went to closed 4months after I started. The 2nd closed down 5months and stole my money, I would pay and the trainer would never showed and hardly opened. 3rd would trainer would show up late and only trained his star puppels and said he was movingg the gym and I stopped going there. 4th gym I loved and everyone helped each other . But I had an operation on my knee and ankle so I had to take a long brake to recover.Comment

I use to do boxing for about 6 years ..I'm doing thai boxing now which is way better..boxing if gay if you ask me it's very limited ..I would fight any boxer out there..I would chop their legs like a mofaka..thai boxing let's you use elbows and knees too which is a big plus for me..boxing was fun while I did it but there is more to learn trust me and trust me when I say this..a thai boxer would make a boxer his bit** PERIOD!!!Comment

I have a funny kinda story.
So I go to the gym to see that it is already pretty crowded and busy. I quickly change and wrap up and begin my loosening up and shadow boxing. While I'm moving about in the ring I could hear some loud voices in the corner where a trainer and boxer were arguing abit. I continue working and eventually the trainer who was arguing with the boxer came over, "My boy wants to work with you". I look over to his man, he was much bigger than I was. Probably weighed around 220-230lbs or so. I weighed about 160 at the time so I shrugged my shoulders and said what ever, lets glove up.
So we start moving and easily sparring, just working easy you know. Then all of a sudden this guy just start trying to tear in hard to me. He pushed me against the ropes and continued unloading bombs with all of his might. For the most part I'm slipping or blocking the blows with my gloves. Then the bright light took over my vision as he landed one of his wild shots. As soon as he was back in focus I rolled a right hand that he widely swung at my head and countered sharply back with a right hand that landed high on his fore head. He dropped his gloves, stood up straight as a board and fell backwards into the canvas. The noise that this man made when going down was sooooo loud. The aerobics class stopped next door as everybody looked through the glass partition to see what had happened. Everybody stopped in the gym too. The guy just laty there. "I told him he didn't want none of you..." The trainer stepped into the ring and continued, :As soon as you walked in this guy said that he wanted to fight with you. I told him that he was mistaken but the guy just kept on about it so I let him have what he wanted." The trainer shook his head as he kneeled down beside the fighter who was coming too on the canvas, "I told him that you wasn't somebody to be messed with like that but he said that he had to fight with you."
Never under estimate the powers of a skinny white boy who looks like he couldn't fight a lick.......Rockin'
