Kenshin

anybody.....

[LTguy]

i think a bit too late to have a good career, but if you are in a good shape- strong, fast and coordinated....

[mightymouse2k]

no, you should be ok.

[K.O]

Well i would say no. But what are your goals do you plan on goin Am.??Pro?
if that's the case your gonna need to work reeeeallll hard...if your just doin it to get in good shape, you should be fine, but you still gotta work hard

[kenshin112]

My goal is to become pro!!!!!! i know it requires a severe amount of training? but how long should it take for me to start getting fights or does that all depend on the boxing club?
and any other advice you could tell me
I personally think 23 isnt too late, but the amount of training required is alot more than the 17-18 y/os, and other than the general boxing training what else is there that i can do?

get off this website and start working until you die!!!!!!!

Age is a number man, it all depends on your mind. If you tell yourself you are too old then you are. I'm 35 and ben doing this since I was about 12 years old. I don't fight amature no more (obviously) but I spar with guys your age and teach them a lesson most of the time. I will be doing this until I cant no more.

My gyms trainer is in his mid 40's and he can kick some serious ass. If you want to go pro you just have to work hard at it until your technique catches up with you. Some guys take longer than others, who knows you might be a natural. 23 is very young, your still a kid.

23 isnt too late to start fighting, or even turn pro, but it depends on how good of a pro u think ur gonna be. ur gonna have to train ALOT day in and day out and put in long hard hours at the gym, and the days u think u need rest, u push thru it, until ur body physically "shuts down" and u have to rest. u gotta go all out all the time. there is ALOT ALOT ALOT to learn in the sport and in order to step in the pro ring and not get killed, u gotta work harder and be more disciplined than u ever have. u have to work on conditioning and skill work as much as possible, spar as much as possible, and get a good ass trainer and devote urself to him so u get one on one training. i wouldnt train skill work alone cuz u'll develop bad habits. til u get to a gym, u should:

RUN - long distance
RUN - intervals
RUN - sprints
jump rope
pushups (lots)
pullups (lots)
situps (....LOTS)
RUN
RUN
RUN
RUN
RUN

get into great shape and condition so u can have a stepping stone when u get into the gym so the trainer sees u r there to learn and not jus some recreational guy gettin a workout. u gota long hard road ahead of u my friend, but get past the speed bumps and the rewards are endless. good luck bro...

God bless you
Thanks for the answers
yeah i know i should get off this site and do some serious ass training~
Running day in day out is what im doing, hurts serious, but as you said
after putting yourself through this the rewards will be endless

Thanks Speedkillz
