Hi i have a question for you

[One more]

Man, you're lucky you have a sparring partner that has some experience. I just started too and I'm 24. Going to my 3rd session at the gym tomorrow (I only get to go twice a week and workout on the other days). The coach won't let me spar yet, but that's cuz i have a LOT of work to do before I can do anything without creating bad habits. Conditioning is a B@#$@ for reals! ...but it feels so good afterwards.

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?

Well how the gym im at works is we got a regular boxing class, which is just routine training and sometimes some light sparring, once the trainers there think your good enough you move upto the Amateur classes, which can take awhile since i got in the Am's after about 4 months when there has been some guys in the regular class who have been there for almost 8 months..

And its a huge step up from the regular boxing class to the Amateur class, the regular class is 4 days a week 1 hour classes, and the Amateur is 6 days a week and can go aslong as 2-5 hours (we got a real crazy cuban coach who decides if we can go home or not lol), and after about 2 months you will probably be given your first am fight.

You cant expect to turn pro in a few months and be good, you have to work your way up or your just going to get blasted away boxing takes time and dedication.. honestly in my opinion 23 can be to late for any average guy hoping to become a world champion unless your training flat out and have some talent.

Ive just started my boxing training
i just wanted to know is 23 too late to start?

Kenshin

no it isnt to late but look at your options so you really think you become in the top 10 ranking in youir weight devisions ?
because thays were all the moneys at if you want to be a serious pro you need to train 6 hours a dayand do it full time but you have to sacrfice your job and might even gaet paid less lets say yu in a title fight for an american belt or state belt or whatever they are over there id say 10k dollas max for the fight and that if you even make it to the title fight evry other fight is like $3000 so say you have 4 fight a year that like 12 k at year not rtelly good is it is it worth it?
do you think yougood engouth to get anywere? you really need to think about it. or is it just a dream that you know will never become true

[xploda11]

it's bad but not THAT bad, you better just hope your a fast learner

[flowda king]

naw 23 isnt to late if you have the heart and determination you can be good its goning to take alot of fights in a short period of time tho to get some ring experience under your belt i suggest at least 30 amateur fights shouldnt take dat long.
