My friends are starting up a fight club

[platinummatt!]

Im not joining. Theyre using no safety quipment, no gloves, no gunshields etc.
Theyre using the same rules as in the film fight club I think. But no strikes to the nose or groin. How far do you think they will get lol.

[Pork Chop]

The first day either they'll puss out and go about 10% or someon's gonna go to the hospital.
Regardless, it's not something worth getting involved in.
if you're going to fight without protective gear you might as well get paid for it.

[platinummatt!]

Yeh Im not joining, they might end up just with body shots

[jason100x]

Exactly, you might as well get paid to get busted up. Someone can get hurt badly with those kinds of "events".

[Pork Chop]

i should give a disclaimer, i'm the kind of guy that hates to go hard at the gym. if it's someone coming in from an outside gym, fine, i'll try to knock the guy out, but my normal buddies at the gym I don't feel like putting the hurt on even if they're trying to drop me. i'd rather just not spar if they're too hung up on proving their dominance to be willing to work with me.

i don't feel that taking regular asswhoopings necessarily makes you better. You just learn how to take an asswhooping a little better; but you've only got so many big asswhooping's you can take in your boxing career- why waste them in the gym?

i've noticed the guys that like to go bawlz out in the gym tend to only get better if they're the ones dealing out the asswhoopings- but even then the hard shots they take still accumulate and a lot of times the injuries prevent them from even competing, let alone competing at their best.

sorry for the rant, i had a bad spar with my friend from the gym last night who seems intent on hurting me. I've got a few new lumps on my skull from his elbows. I just don't appreciate guys who coerce you to "working" with them under the guise of "going light" but then take the smallest, most thinly padded gloves they can find and try to drop you- even resorting to elbows to the skull when you go for a clinch.

grrrr

[Pugilist11]

they gonna get hurt, glad your not going in for it

[dempseyfan]

Hell, tell them to make it a really good time and change the rules to face and groin shots only, no bodyshots. If they are silly enough to copy a film, why not.

[deh707]

my friends have their fight club too, but they use the rules of boxing sparring (just no groin protector).

16 oz training gloves
mouthpieces
training headgear
mexican style handwraps

3 rounds (2 min. per round)

i'd rather join them than your friends fight club, lol.

[platinummatt!]

I dont know if thisll happen. I heard them talking about it. Like Someone said, When they get hit full pelt in the face I think they may change their name. Bad if they take a hit and the mouth and lose their front teeth

[esponda]

dude, thats ******, not even just to have fun, just to hurt each other, that doesnt make sense on me.....
