Amateur boxers on this forum?

[ntate88]

btw i would give a link to a website where my name and record is posted but then you guys dont actually know if its me so its pretty pointless but at least i am willing to prove im genuine.

Thats what we should do!!! take a picture of your boxing card with your records on it and put it on yur sig or something

[TheTruthIs]

95% of people on here are bull****ters. Everyones workout routine aint no different to floyd mayweathers yet arent posting up how many fights they had cos there ***in liiiaarrrrrsssss

bull****ters!!!!!!!!!!!

Half of the goons on here aint had no fights whatsoever or just attend a boxing gym to keep fit (which isnt the same as being and active competeing booxer)

why lie to people you dont know about training 6 days a week, 7 mile runs etc etc

pathetic

easy man. you gonna have a coronary.

It's just getting in rounds. It's not mandatory. Like I said, it's not like I just up and decided I wanted to fight. I've been doing martial arts since I was 4. The discipline is there, the athleticism is there(i've played every major US sport), the pain threshold is there. Everything that I need for boxing, I already have. I didn't decide to box until 18-19, not started learning to fight at 18-19.

I'm not worried about it. I like boxing because it's the most difficult out of the three. MMA and Kickboxing is easy as ****, it plays right into what I have learned basically my whole life.

No, it ain't just getting in rounds bro. That "getting in rounds" develops your skills, awareness, and mental side of your game more than anything else. That's why most pros have a good amateur background.

Sure, you might be athletic, experienced in other forms of fighting, know how to push yourself, but none of that replaces substantial real competition experience.

Good luck anyway, but you know I'm just sayin it's more than just getting in rounds.

I disagree. There are some actual fighters in this forum, they don't post as much but they're out there, you can tell when they post. Theres a few good trainers, and some who know a lot about nutrition/supplements/training as well. This forum gets a bit annoying every once in a while that's the reason some of the good posters and experienced guys don't come in here as much.

Yeah. There's Domey who is clearly an experienced fighter, I take notice of what he says. Plus Punchdrunk the trainer, but unfortunately he isn't around much anymore, I see he logs in every once in a while though.

Yeah but heres the thing about your whole going pro and fighting bums thing, youre not a promoter, you dont decide who you are going to fight. And what happens if you do fight a "bum" and he kicks your ass? It doesnt matter if you have been "fighting" your whole life, I dont care what martial arts youve trained, they arent the same as boxing. So dont come in here acting like you'll be a great boxer, just because youve taken part in some jui-jitsiu tournaments, karate tournys, or MMA matches... None of that **** is the same as a professional, or amateur boxing match for that matter, if your fighting someone who's atleast halfway decent... And just because youve played every major US sport, does not mean youre athletic either, Ive played every major US sport as well besides Hockey, I played on my high school baseball, basketball, and football teams, and even soccer when I was growing up a few years, and while I excelled in baseball and basketball, I completely ****** at soccer, and was decent in football. I knew guys who werent even on the football team in high school who were better than some of my team mates... If you see what im trying to say, it's that just because you play all sports doesnt qualify you as athletic, because you could suck major ass at every one of them, but still be able to play... and again, even if you were Lebron James in basketball, Sydney Crosby in hockey, Albert Pujols in baseball, Ronaldhino of soccer, and the Peyton Manning of football, hell even the George St. Pierre of MMA, that does NOT make you any better of a BOXER than anyone else in the amateurs, which is why you need to test yourself in the amateurs enough first... 3 fights is not enough, and once you go pro and lose, and lose, then you'll get fed to up and comers who were amateur standouts, and they'll have had experiences in the amateurs that you havent encountered, and make light work of you, just because you thought you were better than you actually were... And you dont want to end up like that, cuz of course you know, once you turn pro, you cant go back to the amateurs... Which is why you should want to fight in the amateurs first, and make mistakes there, have MANY different experiences there, and learn there, not learn as you go in the pro, because youll just keep losing, and not end up being able to do anything about it or make it big... And you'll wish you had just took the time to fight in the ams.... I dont mean to bash or hate at all man, as far as I know you could be the next Sugar Ray Leonard, but you must find that out for yourself first, in the amateurs, fight in open tournaments against the best amateurs, and that's where you have your faults and experiences, and perhaps triumphs.. If you fight against the best amateurs, when you turn pro and they feed you with ****-ons, you'll thank yourself for doing it. Because the best amateurs will totally **** on half of the pros... If you can make it close against them, or beat them, then you will most likely be able to make some noise in the pro's....

I ain't reading all that. No paragraphs, it's like a big block of text man.

I just don't like the amateurs, I can't spend all the time in the world on the ams. I'm not 16 years old, I don't have time to rack up 160 am fights. Ya know? I really don't got a problem going to the pros. It's not like I'm one of those guys with videos of shadow boxing like Pacquiao and then claiming to be good enough for the pros. I know what works and what don't work at the stage I'm at. I lead with my jab, i mix it up(top-bottom), I use head movement, then add that to my natural skill. I would just have to take it slow with the pros, don't get ahead of myself, ya know?

flicker youre the biggest ****in idiot on this forum, i bet you dont have any fights because if you do you wouldnt be such an idiot about the amateur system and how the top amateurs are better than most of the pros.

Did I ever say I was better than the best Amateurs? Did I say I was better than most pros? Get the fuck out you monkey ass *****.

You can go into boxing with no amateur fights if you want. Ding dong. Who the fuck are you to talk huh? You haven't even been on this site long enough to talk about who is the biggest idiot on the forum. What about you, do you box? Huh? You only came in here talking **** but you got nothing yourself. Dont say **** to me about how I do my thing unless you do it yourself **** head.
