[DELETED ACCOUNT 06]

you say boxing is one of ur dreams so don't quit man. if you quit on ur dreams, what is there to live for?

Thats the kind of thing they say at the end of Barney the Dinosaur.

don't let it get you down bro.

although i haven't competed in boxing yet (hopefully by the fall) i have competed alot in sub grappling and BJJ events.

My first match ever i got f'n schooled. as i overheard someone say afterwards "he was getting tossed like a ragdoll". i thought i was gonna cry i was so humiliated, plus in my pre match bravado i brought a girl with me!

Second match... I did really well. I lost by a point at the end and it was ******! the guy i lost too ended up submitting all of his opponents that day and winning gold.... i took him to a very narrow decision. I easily could have won by just moving a bit at the end and adjusting position, but i didnt pay attention to the clock. Even though I lost I felt great. I was more proud of putting in the hard training than anything else, so losing was an afterthought.

Doesn't matter man.... you got in the ring. as long as you get back in again and don't let a loss make you quit you've already won, and already done more than 99.999999% of any critics you might hear from.

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.

where was yo fight at man

Doesn't sound like you were even ready to be thinking of a fight yet... Should have sparred alot more.

































New Way I been training is gonna make ya go

I wouldn't worry at all man. I know one of the trainers in the gym lost his first 5 of 6 fights and was about to quit. But he then starting winning and finished with a record of 55-9 or something like that before he turned pro.

Just takes a while to click sometimes.

Let me add my voice to all who are encouraging you to get back in the ring. You showed a lot of heart by fightingwith only two sparring matches under your belt.

In a few months I want to read a post about you winning a bout, Buddy!

Don't give up man. Rafael Marquez, Juan Manuel Marquez, and Bernard Hopkins himself all lost their first matches.

Jonny Nelson lost his first 3 pro fights and some inbetween and still was a British title holder for ****ing years and years.

As for amatuers.. i think Barry McGuiguan lost his first 7 or something!!! Keep it up man. Theres no shame in coming 2nd best, you got balls going in there, and everyone knows that. Anyone who doesn't, doesn't know boxing...so give him a jab to the skull pal.

something i go by in while training is "it's better to hurt in the gym training than to hurt in the fight" that pretty much means train hard in the gym and like that one guy said get over your fears and you'll do fine in the fight. dont get all down over 1 loss atleast you stepped into a ring and fought.

yep sweat in the gym or bleed in the ring..

keep plugging mate. maybe have a good hard look at your trainer.. bit harsh putting a guy with no sparring in..
