What weight should I fight at for Golden Gloves

[Super_Lightweight]

I started at 16, and I'm almost 20. I had a total of a yr layoff in there though. I've probably sparred 60-70 rounds total, good rounds, not that soft ****. I've only had 4 fights.

I just need more ring experience. I got the physical tools and will to workout. I'm pretty composed and relaxed most of the time, but still need the kind of fine tuning only fights can get you.

could you have chosen to fight more times, if you wanted?

Yeah I weighed 146 even after the sauna so I'm definitely going to havr to fight 152 lbs guys. I'll just have to be quick. I hadn't been dieting, just training, so I can't make my usual weight. At least now I can eat my ass off though and probably fight against guys who are struggling to make weight.

I'll fight at 141 next time.

Be careful or you'll get hit with a body shot and wake up in the lockerroom with a meatloaf in your pants.

Sometimes I'd go to shows and there'd be no one for me to fight. AM boxing isn't as big as in the past.

I didnt mean to sound insulting in my post, btw. I just thought id clear that up, in case you got the wrong message.

I was just wondering how you could have so little preparation time and still enter the Golden Gloves...

Anyway good luck in your fights, and hopefully you dont suffer from the weight issue.

is there any rules on limiting the amount of fights an am can have in a given time period? i would like to start boxing, i would love to get into the ring and fight somone as soon as possible.

I dont know how it works in the states but in canada if you only had 2 fights there is no way they would let you fight someone with 50 fights. I know you could enter the novice division of the tournament but I dont think they would let you fight someone with 50 fights.

Same in U.S i dont buy that the guy had 50 fights man, in the Golden Gloves there are two divisions novice class and open class. To be in the novice class you must have under 10 fights and not have won a golden gloves even before. To be in the open class you have to have over 10 fights or won a golden gloves even there is no wasy under golden glove rules or USA Boxing rules that you would have fought a guy with 50 fights with that many fights that guy would be in a totally different fight bracket than you consiting of more than rounds.

.....Regardless of what weight you choose, good luck man!!!

The guy had has fights in the military, so they were not registered with USA am boxing.

Thanks for the good luck wishes.
