Hi everyone
I thought i would start this thread as tonight I was meant to have a bout. I have had 2 so far, but have had about 6 cancelled. Tonight I was matched at 72 Kg with a boy from Mayflower ABC in Devon, England. It took me an hour and a half to get there, and I weighed in as soon as my trainer got to the venue. I weighed in at 69.5 Kg, as I hadn't eaten since lunchtime that day for fear of coming in too heavy lol. The Boy I was meant to fight came in at 74Kg, nearly 5Kg bigger! Needless to say the bout didn't take place, making this the 3rd bout I have had cancelled this season. 74 is too heavy for a 15 year old anyway lol. I am getting extremely frustrated, and i think I am going to lose a bit of weight so I can find matches more easily. My freind was meant to have a fight a few weeks ago and drove two and a half hours to get to the venue only to find out that the boy he was fighting had a mental breakdown in the dressing rooms and started crying so he couldn't fight .
I was wondering whether anyone has had any similar experiences and how you think about it.
