unlucky bro!

It's true that amateur boxing is a totally different game. You can absolutely murder someone but still lose, The best scoring punches are just simple jabs and the right cross. In 1-2 and out in 1-1-2 and out in 1-2-1-2 and out. That's what the judges like to see. That's what I've observed from novice amateur bouts. It changes as the level of competition rises such as nationals.

Like I said to that guy animail squabbs, it's good for you personally sparring with professionals and getting that experience but you need to really check out amateur bouts and videos because that's the level you're fighting at for the moment.

Anyways, good luck for the next bout bro.

I got alot of the same problems verse has, Im short and I mainly focus on body shots, more pro style. So I already know Ima lose my amateur fights comin up but **** it.

youre not gettin me man. Im not talkin like Im just goin in there to get beat up and get experience. I just know the deck is stacked against, IM not expecting a win... IM expecting a FIGHT. Whoever my opponent is might probably win but Im gonna make him earn every ****in piece of it. I love fighting, Ive had all kinds of street fights, I like fighting, even if for example theres three about to jump me, Im not expecting a win but theyre gonna have to earn that **** and Ima have fun doin it. Im itchin man, I cant take it anymore. I dont wanna seem like some bull****ter that is training but doesnt compete.

On oct 27 Im not goin there to win IM going to get in a brawl, if I win it would just be a bonus.

aright thats cool i can respect that. but im sure u would rather win than lose, no? yea go in there and brawl and do wut u do, but be smart too. if u know ur the better fighter and can do things to throw the guy off his game, obviously ur gonna do it. do ur thing in there if thats brawl get in there and ****, but look for ways to win while doing it. i be fightin next sat too the 27th hopefully we will both win that night. good luck to u...

I'm sorry to hear that, man. Real talk. I'm sure you can get back on your ****, though- just grind a little harder this time. Don't give them a chance to put in on the scorecards. Absorb yourself a little more during traning.

What he said. I don't know what your perspective is 2 months on, but I wouldn't write yourself off on the ams too early, Vers. As you collect fights you'll find ways of adjusting and making your style gel a little better with the more nominal aspects of amateur boxing. You might not build a stellar record out of it, but you will learn more than that one frustrating experience has led you to believe.


Btw, you've been one of the better contributors to this forum in recent times. Good to see blunt self-assessment and practical encouragement of others delivered in a straightforward, unpretentious way. Keep on that path.
