^^ i sort of agree, but hes on a forum, virtually anonomous. this is where you can say these things. i personally wouldnt admit to it to a boxing friend, its another chip in your armour

Bro, i can I give you the best advice anyone out of all this lot will give you. Don't share thoughts like that with people in the future. It's quite odd that most people have responded in such an amicable fashion - the majority of people in this world are not like this. And it's only making a rod for your own back when you share feelings/emotions like that with people you don't know.

90% of people are glad you have problems, the other 10% don't care.

My view: stick at it, everyone takes a beating from time to time.... just come back stronger.

Truth is most boxers have gone through with pretty much the same thing and are happy to empathize and help motivate. Even tho not everyones cryed, ya'lls had a kickin at some point!!!

I've said it before on here; the first time I took a savage beating in sparring, I cried like Nancy Kerrigan. It took me many months of sparring to learn to separate the emotional and psychological trauma of being punched from the physical pain, but it can be done. Keep at it; it gets better.

i have never cried because of taking a beating in sparring. but one time i just finished sparring for about 11 rounds straight. i was physically and mentally exhausted. i sat down on the bench to take my wraps off, and i started to think of things in my life, and i started to tear and had to hold back from completely crying. these were things i had thought about before but never got that upset about etc. when youre so mentally drained, weird things can happen to you, doesnt mean anything. and anyway, anyone who is going to make fun of you for crying is a ***** anyway. i practically never cry, but that doesnt mean anything. real men can cry, people who have to put on an image and arent real will make fun of you for doing so.

dont feel like a ***** man. by the time ur 18 u will never be gettin beat up in sparring anymore. ur young, stick with it...

im 20 jus started 7 months ago, i got beat up in sparring once n almost cried too.. i didnt even feel upset or nothing, i just felt tears trying to come out.. i held them in but just not a good feeling.. da1catas said it best, it can be used in a productive way but it takes time to learn how.. i personally still havent learned how... but i took a few beatings since that time and never feel any tears coming in, so it passes. makes u stronger.

Look man, just think... 2 Weeks?? You've been training 2 weeks?? Hold your head up man.. When you've been training half as long as this guy you'll get him.. Just remember, it happens to everyone and everyone gets frustrated. Don't hold a grudge against the guy, he was doing what he was supposed to.. Kepp ya head up.. What ever dont killa ya can only make ya stronger!!

Keep training. Use this to fuel your fire for your desire to box.

ya thts right i cried after getting my ass kicked. I wasn't crying like "crying" i was tearing up, sniffing and trying to hold it in.

My coach put me in sparring against a guy whose been doing it for atleast one year, but i've been doing it for 2 weeks (10 classes) and i sparred a lot of people and did great, like my coach said i had loads of potential, but this one guy whose close to 6'0 and weighed about 140 LB and i was just 5'6 weighing only 115LB, just tore me down to pieces, it wasnt an ass kick, it was a massacre! anyways, after the sparring session, i was ok, but then i let go my tears and my coach tried to confront me and so did the guy i sparred with, not to mention there were only 3 people in the gym (thank god), and they were supportive of me to.

Anyways i don't know why i'm sharing this, but, i'm not an emotional person, i wasnt hurt physically, i was drained mentally, and it hurt my pride. But i'm taking this beat down and using it as a motivation and try even hardder next time.

Btw i'm 15.....ya make fun of me if u want lol, call me a softy, *****, i know...iknow....*hahah he got his ass kicked and now he's crying hahaha*
