Lost first boxing match

[sicklelee]

I thank you guys very much for your comments!! I'm gonna go back to the gym and train harder and start eating right from this day. I ain't give up yet because boxing is one of dreams.

Why did you fight at 145? That's not even a weight division.

I lost my first match weighed in at 138 and they made me fight at 145. My first match was just after my first two spars with someone new to the game like me. I let my nerves get to me and I was kinda shakey and already tired in just the first round. I got dropped in the first round of the match, but got back up then the ref stopped it in the 3rd round after I gased out and kept holding. I usually don't get tired fast but I let my nerves get to me at the begining and that basically was worn me out mentally.


I fought someone right handed and they kept catching me with powerful right jabs. My defense really isn't that good. I mean they were hard and I'm Southpaw. Everyone said I could have drop dude threes times after I hit him with three killa left hands, but backed off everytime.

I feel humilitated and down after that performace tonight and I'm now thinking twice about boxing.

If Hammerin' Henry Armstrong would have quit after his first lose he would have never been able to see actually how great he could be.

Believe, a lose is nothin' especially when your beginning. Its all about learning and improving in there for the next time.

People see the pro records and stuff and believe that a lose is like death. Sure we never like to lose but learning how to handle a lose is a big part of learning how to win.

If you want to quit then thats your choice. But I say you should take what you learned from this throw and use it in the next match.

Aswell, with you being gased in the first round, its common. In time you will learn to conserve your energy and just relax in there. Most of the energy expended by you noobies is actually nervous energy/tension.

I hope that you will continue and grow with this sport. Few can do it, but if your among the strong hearted you will love it. Theres nothin' like it...............Rockin'

(Correct me if i'm mistaken) But you said you had sparred TWO times?

I would be really amazed if you actually won the fight... As everyone else said; Take it as a learning experience, and just think about it whenever you train and use it as motivation (That is if you are motivated by things like that). Really mate, don't worry. You were just unprepared...

Anyways, good luck with your training. I wish you all the best!

If the other guy is at the same skill level it can be a great learning experience for both. No, not as in skillfull learning. But rather in experience learning. The next time he may not be so tight, might conserve some energy and might be throwing with atleast some experience. Its all about experiencing the action and the scene with nobody getting seriously hurt..............Rockin'

Bro, take this as a learning experience. It was your first bout. Learn from it. In order to be a Champion....you gotta know what it's like to lose. That's tough love for you. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off....you even said it, "the guy outweighed you", was obviously stronger, and more experienced. Taking shots from guys bigger than you, now IMAGINE how you'd do against someone your own weight?? Dude, the stage fright is over.....get back in the gym, make adjustments, train hard. It will pay off....

A QUITTER NEVER WINS.....A WINNER "NEVER" QUITS!!!!!

you're already a winner.....

Since the beginning of time, you beat out "MILLIONS" of other ***** cells, you won dude, you fertilized the egg!!! against millions!!!....SO DON'T EVER SAY YOU CAN'T!!!

peace brother.

I don't know why but on the fight sheet it had me for 145lbs. In my fight book I was set for 138lbs and we also couldn't find out if the dude had fights before. They said they didn't have any information on him, but I still fought him anyways.

I think stuff was all messed up anyways because at the weigh-in everybody was measured with their normal clothes on.

hey bro, keep your head up, in my opinion you took the fight with only 2 sparring sessions, so that shows you have balls
