Me sparring.

[GOLDENGLOVES27e]

thats what everyone does before they have proper training. your dad can show u some things but i can tell he isnt a real trainer (no offense), and u need a real trainer.

theres not really anything u can do until a trainer shows u the proper basics, u work on it a few months. once u got it down u can spar and such, train by yourself. as of now u are just creating bad habits. u need to get ready for some boring work right now. get in the gym and do nothing but step around the ring throwing out jabs. then go to a mirror and watch yourself throw jabs.

u need to learn footwork, balance, weight transfer etc. and u need someone showing u. someone watching u telling u when u slip up. if not u will just develope bad habits. thats what your doing right now. GET IN THE GYM.

good luck

Thanks for the advice bro.

Im not as bad as I looked haha. I'll upload a video soon of me shadow boxing.

Joe Calzaghe dad taught him to fight and he was a jazz musican

whats your point? enzo read up on boxing, he knew boxing. i can tell by the clip of this guy whoever has been teaching him doesnt know his stuff. i didnt say he couldnt be trained by his dad bcuz its his dad.

are u an idiot? look at all the succesful father/son duos in boxing. its funny to me u used an example like thats the only one.

Dang people, I said that i've never trained before.

I came to get advice haha. I know I suck, but im just really unorthodox.

Can someone tell me what I was doing wrong?

I saw that:

1: My chin was out.

2: I had no head movement.

3: I dropped my hands.

4: I kept switching stances.

5: My arms weren't protecting my body.

Anything else?

I wanna watch. The video was taken off by the user. I like watching this type of stuff. It gives me confidence.

I know what ya mean by that. Seeing a total beginner makes you think how far you have come and how much you have progressed since you were at that stage.

Yeah. It makes me sure of myself that i'm doing the right thing. ya know? Cus that little voice in your head is always talking. Did i prepare enough? Can i fight? Am i tough? etc etc etc...Watching someone who first starts out helps you put things in perspective.

I still wanna watch that kid though.

wow so much hostility just to prove you are wrong.

I only saying there is boxers who been taught by someone who doesnt have much experince in the ring. It might be rare but there are some.

no hostility whatsoever. once again i dont know what u are talking about. if u were an idiot was a legit question considering your post which didnt have a point.

once again i never said someone without ring experience couldnt train ppl. i told him to get in the gym, and i told him whoever was teaching him wasnt teaching him good enough. i didnt base that on the fact that his dad isnt a real trainer, i based that on how he looked in the video.

so weather enzo was a real trainer or not is irrelevant, if enzo was training him he wouldnt be looking like that in the video.

but some people are just not good or born to be boxer not matter how the train, some people in my gym are been there training for years and me just 4 months now yet my trainer said i was better than all of them in term of progress and skills learned. not to be ****y but yeah he told me dat and also my old trainer who is now semi-quit coz of his pro carrer also told me dat.

I don't know you so it may or may not be true.

But ya gotta be careful about that stuff. In this business people will build you up to be something that you may not really be. (i'm not sayin you're a bum, i'm just talkin in general) Don't let em "blow smoke up your ass"

People tell me ***** all the time; i let it go in one ear and out the other. I'm the only one who can truly gauge my progress, but can only rely on other people to tell me what they see, then i work my fcukin ass off.

However, it's also a good thing to hear that stuff. Me personally, i don't really take all that stuff seriously. It does help build confidence though.

I know what i got, i know what i don't got, i know what i gotta work on, and i know what i gotta do. Ya dig?

Keep it up, if you're workin hard and diggin. I feel yo pain. LoL.
