i was doing boxing when i had time and one time the coach put me with this guy he was about 240 or so im at 230 pounds but i was just starting boxing. that guy just punished me. that was my first sparring. the my second he put me with a faster guy. i did good for the first round but damn the second round he was hitting bomb on me. i was still learning. but it was a good experience

I didn't read much of the responses, other then rj_ct about your weight / height. I use to fight at 112, 115, 119, and I am 5'7. I now fight at 125. Anyways.

What matters here is not that you cried, not if people made fun of you, not if you got your ass whooped, beat, knocked out, anything. What matters most, and what the coach wants to see, is..

Did you go back? If you did, then that says something about yourself and I am sure your coach would be / is impressed.

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*

thats not too shameful, yuor only a year older than me and were outweighed, outsized and had less experience

dont worry bout it and keep training

[KostyaTszyu44]

i guess i just have big bones or something. i was probably about 5'5" when i was 15 and weighed a little over 140 lbs. granted i was playing hockey 4-6 days a week. but 110-115 seems almost unhealthy to me.

im 5''4 and fight at 100 pounds

Barrera cried the first time he went to a boxing gym ...

Yeah, But he was like 7 years old. When Barrera was 15 he was turning pro. Not crying after sparring sessions.

Never cried, but when I get hit... I don't get mad either.... Just that I made a mistake, and I wanna try my best not to let it happen again. Being emotional isn't good IMO. Don't let it get to you. I used to be like that, but as time passed... Im not like that anymore.. When you get hit... Don't blame yourself, just give yourself a reason to not get hit with that punch again. Might sound weird, but that's how I think. I use my head A LOT in boxing... You can call me a Cotto.. I keep **** to myself... Im quiet.. I get my work done and focus on MY mistakes. Gotta get back to the gym pretty soon. Next month... Ima be going through some hell. I might have to skip the AM's though..... Due to personal reasons...I don't think my body will hold up through the AM's, but im confident in my skills if im promoted properly. I will be training my ass off.

Doubt it. Unless he is a **** coach. He'll have to bounce back bigtime to impress the coach IMO

It shows heart to come back after being beat and humiliated. That would impress any coach.
