dude regardless of what you say you still suck on the first time.. you might not have ****** as much but still did. you can't tell someone you had a little bit of training on something then all the sudden your the greatest on the first try.

Im not talking about being the greatest, All I said is theres some that can go in there with NO TRAINING AT ALL, and still not suck... no matter who they facin an experienced person or non-experienced.... if they just a gifted athelete...


example.. u have a kid in ya neighborhood thats really fast and strong, never played football for a team but kills everyone in street football... 9/10 you throw him in the back field of his highschool team and he should do fairly decent (wont suck just cuz its his first time in an organized back field)


Just about every area has that 1 kid thats always been bigger faster stronger and better at just about everything than everyone else from grammer school up to high school or college.... thats the person Im talking about, throw them in the ring, and theres a good chance he will do well


who knows versatile's cousin might be one of those kids lol... and he did good... so its not right to say "everyone sucks" or even "it depends on who they fightin"

i did very well in my first sparring session. I was just too fast and too strong for the guy... I landed more punches than i missed easily. It was my second week against a guy whod been going for 3 months. He was pretty terrible and i dont think they should of put 2 inexperienced guys in there he really took a beating in there and i didn't realize how much i was hurting him. He had a swollen nose and a black eye the next day lol. He ended up quiting

I didnt do good at all my first sparring session even though its only been 2 months since my first one but the first one i was like target practice for the other guys in my gym ill be 16 next week and all the guys in my gym have at least 5 year experience and there all 21 and up every once in a while i catch a person with a right hand but i havent been sparring for long so im still sloppy another thing i have problems with is hitting hard and using my jab im not that confidant with my jab but my conditioning is decent

Define good,

Sure, some do better than others, some just pick it up easy. But trust me, no one can match an experienced fighter their first time out. I'm a decent athlete, but by no means any kind of genetic miracle. I've even taught a few guys (one in perticular) a few things, and they pick it up 5 times faster than I did sometimes. But when it's crunch time, they can't deliver like someone who has been fighting for five years. Talent isn't everything. Talent and PRACTICE make champs, not talent and being ****y.
