man dont worry about it. the people who really care about you as a person/fighter will appreciate it and see you as a real person. if i saw someone cry after a sparring session i would just go up to them and tell the to stay with it and not worry about what anyone cares etc. noone worth your time is going to laugh at you because everyone cries.

IMO, if you stick with it, that experience is the best thing that will ever happen to you. And if you stick with it, the first few months will be a lot more of the same. Especially with the bigger guys. I been through the exact same **** started at 15 sparred with bigger guys, got beat up. Give it a year and you'll hang with all them, it only makes you stronger.

Hey man I just read your thread. I been boxing for about 7 almost 8 months now. Within my first two maybe three months in the gym they threw me in the ring with the pro fighter at the gym. He was way more experienced than me, stronger, quicker, smarter as a fighter, bigger and taller. He whooped my ass for about six rounds. After leaving the ring I had bruised ribs on the left hand side and a black eye. My pride was hurt but I quickly got it together after seeing my trainer hop in there with him, who is smaller than me, and sit the guy down on his ass! I was impressed. Keep it together bro!

im really impressed at the response to this post, id would have been easy to mkae fun of this kid for crying ( theres no reason to but sum people are just c****) but instead people have been supportive and i get the feeling its appriciated, no doubt this kid will get bck into training now and become a good fighter instead of just leaving boxing because of one bad experience and sum idiots on a forum

once when i was in little league baseball i wanted to pitch and i cried in front of everybody because i kept throwing balls. i wanted to run off the field and cry but they made me finish the inning.

its ok if you get your ass kicked.. the good guys have gotten plenty ass kickings probably at a very young age. at least you had the balls to get in the ring unlike most people. LOSE THE EGO.. dont be shy about sparring in front of people. what does it matter if in the long run it makes you better. then in 2 years you can spar and you will be the one winning against a new guy in your very same shoes. thats what happened to me

ive been beaten by someone 16 years old when i was 21. he had 80+ amateur fights already. sparring him, he always wins, and has been the only person to put me down (with a body shot) i have learned a lot from sparring him.. i watch him whenever chance i get to pick things up.. i also have seen him beat LOTS of people.. i mean LOTS.. so me losing is no big deal. he toys with everyone

after seeing him fight other guys.. i realized even though it seemed like i was challenging him, he was going really easy on me. i have never underestimated anyone since that happened

i also thought i was so good because i was fast.. untill a fat guy danced around me like muhammad ali and i couldnt hit him. then another fat guy beat the crap out of me for 4 rounds and wasnt even tired at the end.. i hurt so bad i rolled out of the ring under the bottom rope and laid on the dirty floor for 15 minutes

i am still friends with everyone though. nthing personal, all business.. the one that toys with everyone comes by to shake my hand sometimes that means a lot to me coming from him

hey kid its all good. Crying is an emotion that gets out pent up frustration etc...

Now just get back in and train harder!!!
