All the gear, No Idea

[David06]

Just a few things from reading the thread:
1)This is true in every sport/hobby...I saw it when I played paintball...when I dabbled in DJ'ing...and now in boxing.

2)Animal Squabbs, you said that you hit a brick-filled canvas bag that hangs from a tree. WTF? I could almost understand this if you were dead broke but ****, you make posts like every other week about your new gear...why don't go a month or two without buying a pair of gloves and get a real heavy bag instead?

3)You don't really need many different types of gloves. I can see the need for bag gloves and sparring gloves, but I have no idea why you would need several pairs for bag work and several pairs for sparring. I mean do you really need lace up AND velcro gloves? You shouldn't even be sparring if there's not a trainer around.

4)If you were really that dedicated to boxing since you were 6...how in the hell did you end up 80 LBs overweight?

5)"where do I BRAG about my gear man?????"

Maybe not straight out bragging, but...

And that's just the threads you've started! I would hate to go through the posts you've made in other threads. It's pretty ridiculous. I don't have a HUGE problem with it, but don't act like you don't do it.

Yeah animal does show off about his gear. It dont bother me though as at least he spends his money on gear then tells me its **** so i dnt have to buy it.
All i've got for my gear is (i'll put it in dollars for the yanks as i live in london)
$50 ricky hatton lonsdales
$50 everlast sparing glove
$4 lonsdale wraps
$6 moutguard
$50 dollar head guard
boxing skill pricless.
All i'm trying to say is dnt be pissed by the kids with all the gear as it dnt mean **** when your punching someone.
And animal why is it you talk alot but never act like that fight u were meant to have but never happened and about that friday bloke why would he want to spar a overweight kid who's never even had a amature fight?

They show up to your gym, they go to your school, they prowl the forums......Rich Kids.

My speech is entitled "Ginger Kids: Children with red hair, light skin, and freckles."

.....We've all seen them - on the playground, at the store, walking on the streets - they creep us out and make us feel sick to our stomachs.

I'm talking of course about... ginger kids.

He probably wanted a heavybag that could brief back how hard he was punching.

Anyways, Animal, yeah, you do brag. Get over yourself... I mean, you make like a thread each god damn week about new equipment that you wanna buy, and... why? Why do you have to tell everyone on this forum, that you're going to buy those items? Why can't you just wait till you've gotten them, and THEN make a thread about how the quality of i.e the gloves or the headguard is... also, you even post about the items you've gotten before you've even tried them! Hell, if I had just gotten a new pair of gloves.. (and with your usual order, probably some new shoes, headguard, mouthpiece, trunks, bandages, cup and one of those TV shop ab trainers), I would hit the gym right away, just to try them out... but instead you just log on your PC and post about them. geez, your sad.

Also, i've never seen a single post where VERSATILE2K7 brags...

Oh well...

Perhaps you should at least admire their dedication to boxing. It shouldn't matter somone's income so long as they keep coming back to improve their skills. I'm sure if you had the income they did you would do the same.

I agree that it's annoying when people think that just by having the gear their skills are elevated, which they are obviously not. It won't ever change, so you either have to let it piss you off or just enjoy being able to beat them down and having spent less.

Don't let the gear ****** get to you.

[eazy_mas]

it better to concentracte on you workout.

For me i dont give a damn if somone wears stoned shorts for sparring with dimond earing and chain that his **** to worry about.

focus on you goal and these other things you thinking just blurs you focus.

and yes i havent been training boxing for long time and even when i was training i wasnt that good they got me more then 2 month on the jab and all that **** that is more then the other guy who are in the gym and when i running with them those guy go turbo Lambo and i like a turtule.

i wanna buy some training stuff and things but only if i think it will make some usethe only thing that i bough about boxing is the wrap incase if my hands hurt

Ya you have that in a lot of sports man, like every one. In fact, I rarely see it in boxing, maybe cause my gym isn't so high class though.

Me, I keep it pretty cheap, I even use the ****ass headgear at the gym although that's getting gross... I do have a $75 pair of bag gloves though, I spent some money on those after ****ing up my hands with those **** ass everlast like 8oz ones. That's all I have though. Oh, and some old ass everlast sparring gloves.

I used to see that a lot more when I played soccer, kids showin' up in their like 200 dollar shoes who don't even know what the midfield is. Haha, but at least they'd get cut.

Just don't let it bother you man, who cares what they got?

And about this whole Animal thing, ya Animal, you do brag a little, but you're just really into your gear, so whatever, it doesn't really make my day any worse to read any of your posts about your new ****.

oh yeah i forgot to add i paid $5 for handwraps, and $20 for a mouth guard
