Has boxing helped you become a better person in general?

[mishka80]

In terms of personality and lifestyle, do you find yourself to be more confident? do some of you limit the amount of time you spend partying (To stay in shape for boxing?) or do you guys try to find a balance for every aspect in life? Or do you find yourself staying away from those things and just train for boxing nonstop.

Just curious. For me, personally, I used to drink and smoke often but I realized that I was spending too much $$ and I was worried bout my heatlh. I still party but not as much. Do you guys think it's a good idea to keep an even balance?

yeah me too.

i sparked some lad the other day with 2 hits when normally it would take a good 5 or 6 punches.

Yeah definately. I can put up with ****y ****heads alot better than I used too, I usually just laugh at them and that tends to piss them off. I used to get into fights over ****** **** but now thats different. Basically I have alot more respect for people in general.

I find I want to help people more with stuff. Im alot nicer.

Im alot more disciplined in everything and Im looking to my future alot more as well. Taking steps towards what I want.

I quit smoking to box so thats one really good thing.

Boxing helped my life alot, it seems to have givin me focus where as before I was just blowing in the wind with no direction.

[Chr0nic]

oh, and i can't find myself to hit people full force on the head anymore(unless it's in the ring)
i read alot of **** about people dieing from blows to the head, and i've always packed quite a punch
i end street fights with body blows now

Martial arts has, not boxing.

Boxing turned me more aggressive.

But i have to balance it out with my martial arts/karate

[moin126]

it has made me ****y arrogant flamboyant, i constantly quote mayweather, and talk about how a hocky bag is the new thing, and how the sjieks are killing like tons of israelies, that affects us?
I also constantly remind myself to wear white tshirts when in the club, just for that mayweather vibe. I also say things like '' like i told you before'' your a ***** im the topdog.. I trash talk vs my exams, i trash talk during studying about how my math exam has six losses, and im gonna show this fker the 7th way to beat arturo gatti. I mean like hes a paper champion.

[Squabbles94806]

I've noticed i want to fight more. Inside and outside of the ring.

Before i'd want to try and settle thing peacefully. Now, i'd rather sock someone in the face. i don't want to catch a case though, so i try to keep my impluses at bay.

These days it's about as pointless to debate someone as it is to sock someone in the face. So i'd rather sock somebody in the face. At least that's the way i see it.

boxing has just made everything outside the ring uninteresting to me. aside from driving i just don't really care what's going on. it seems like my thoughts always end up wandering to boxing. it's kind of distanced me from the rest of the world.

Boxing did wonders for me. I used to get in all kinds of fights and all kinds of trouble. I owe a lot to my old trainer who took me in for a while and really helped me turn my life around.

Now I go to college full time, work about 30-40 hours a week, and box 5 days a week. I dont really have time for much. I just hang around with my girlfriend and watch movies lol. I like to go the the club and dance maybe once a month but I dont drink or nothing when im there(im too young anyway). I just like dancing....if only I was good at it lol.
