advice on amatuer boxing

[JoHnNyBoXeR]

ive been training for 3 months and don't intend to fight for another 5 upon the advice of my trainer. our gym has a lot of golden glove medalists in different divisions and a 99% success rate in first fights based on taking our time to develop skills before competing. my advice: keep training another couple of months and spar, spar, spar. Spar friends, guys better, guys who are worse, guys from other gyms (with lighter gloves like 16 oz or 14 oz if they are game). if you're a ko puncher, work on your stamina and box game. you won't be able to ko everybody. if thats your gameplan, youll run into a wall at some point.

what part of philly you from? I grew up in Cheltenham but live in NYC now...

nyboxing on st nicholas and gates. its dope. come one out dude. brotherhood boxing amateur team fights out of there and there are some pros who train their- luis collazo, travis simms, jaidon codrington....

well- i'll leave the finance to the phone call since there are a bunch of options to choose from. the good thing is that you don't have to pay for a trainer serperately. The fee is for semi-private training meaning each day you'll be teamed up with one of the trainers there and they are all good. its a real team without any of the grimey attempts from trainer to steal kids away from other trainers. its also a communal vibe which is nice. 718-366-6585. ill be there from 5-8 or 9 today. look for the tall skinny white dude with the long hair. my names mike! good luck.

was good, i been boxing in philly now for about 2 1/2 months. iam 5'6 140 my styles left handed k0 power. i gotta work on my stamina alil more but the owner of the gym approached me and asked me if i wanted to start amatuer boxing" i replied helly ****in yeah " iam just wanderin if it too early too start amatuer fights or not? and when did sum of use first start?

If you class your "style" as left hand KO power, youre probably a southpaw.
And if you dont even know what a southpaw is yet you need a bit more time!

Young Gun, I have been boxing for nearly a year now and my first fight in coming up August 23rd. I actually have a opportunity to compete at another advancing tournament prior to that fight but I believe I am going to pass. I say wait it out a bit like someone said already, street fighting and boxing are two completely different things. With only two months under your belt you have a lot to learn and probably need to get your body conditioned for whats ahead of you. I'd say wait.

Good luck.
