best things to do before fights/tourneys

[coreywash]

Its best to come to terms with what your real abilities are sooner rather than later. You can do and say whatever you want to before a fight, but once that bell rings there is no lieing. Its not what you do right before a fight that counts. Its what you have done for the months prior in preparation for this moment thaqt will count. If you have done your work and paid your dues you should just be yourself before a fight. It only matters after that bell rings..................Rockin'

thats real talk

huh was that message to me about the 45 second rounds?

[Trick]

Ya, that sucks man, they just decide to shorten the rounds... I really didn't think they were allowed to do that and still call it an official fight.

yeah it sucks...idk what they be doing...they also be trippin at local tournaments...im still novice and i've fought against guys who should've been open...one guy had 12 fights the other is now 23-2 and i just fought him in october..the way its supposed to be in texas is once you have 8 wins or 10 fights all together you automatically go open, but thats what i heard idk..some of the organizers of the tourneys have close relationships with coaches and they allow them to get away with stuff...the sport of boxing is corrupt

[Trick]

That's bull**** man, tough luck. Losses in the amateurs happen, they're short, the best fighter doesn't really always win. I haven't had a single ranked fight yet, but from what I can tell, the style of amateur fights takes a little getting used to, it's not like the boxing we see on TV. Ah well, don't worry man, I look forward to seeing the vid,

Peace,

45 second rounds in a golden gloves tourny is crazy. What the hell are they thinking sdown there.

I remember my first jo tourny, I fought at 11 in the morning and then again at like 11:30 at night the same day. Ofcourse they no longer allow you to fight twice in a 24 hour period but we were fighting well past midnight. If I was the coach and they told me that my boy would be rolling for only 45 second rounds I would have given them alot of trouble. I would tell them that my boy aint trained to fight no 45 seconds, hes trained to fight a full round.

Time restraints or not, its either 1 min, 1-1/2 min or 2 minute rounds. I used to fight 3 minute rounds in the open class but they have pretty much done away with that aswell, which isnt bad for the youth.

45 seconds or 2 minutes, whatever the round duration was as long as you gave what you had and left it in the ring then you have nothing to be ashamed of in losing. As I have said before, you are stepping up and throwing where sooooooo many just talk ****.

45 seconds aint **** to see who the better man is!!!!...............Rockin'
