I'm 13 going to fight a 17 year old, need help

[.::EnRiQuE::.]

Well, I don't see how a match would be set up like this in the first place. What is there to prove? If I were the 17 year old, I would decline a fight against a 13 year old even if it would be an even match. If he wins, does he feel good that he might be a senior in HS and he beat a 7th or 8th grader?

I think boxing for 13 year olds is bad.....
16 years old would be a good age to ease into it.

I think this is BS too. I am sure there are plenty of 115 lb. 13 year olds to fight.

are you ******??? the younger you start the better. it gives you more time to develop your craft and by the time you're about to turn pro you will be eating up those ppl who started when they were 16. Kermit Cintron started late and look what happened to him when he fought sum1 who started when they were younger...he got owned. beyong developing the physical stuff, if you starte when you're younger you get more time to develop the mental part of boxing.

I don't about you but 15 pounds is a lot unless you are natural strong for 115.

You never know. Maybe the 17 just started boxing and has two left feet. If you feel uncomfortable the best thing to do is talk to the trainer and find more info and stuff about the opponent and the situation.

I made a mistake. When I meant boxing, I meant fighting in matches. Training is fine but I am not so sure about being punched repeatedly in the head when you are young is a good idea.

Don't take the fight, and find yourself another gym. Your trainers are NOT looking out for your best interests, if they're trying to make you fight under those kind of circumstances. I find it hard to believe it's even legal to set up a fight like that. Here in Europe, they'd never let anyone do that.

The way I see it, you ain't got nothing to lose and a lot to gain. Your the underdog here. The guy is older and bigger. That is, if you take the fight. But I gotta agree with PunchDrunk here. Just my opinion. I mean the guy they want you to fight is 15 pounds heavier that's a lot of weight in boxing. But whatever you do, you have to look out for your best interest. You gotta weigh the risk and decide if its worth taking. Good luck if you do fight him. Just keep that head moving. Move in and out, side to side, just keep moving.

Supposedly David Tua's dad made him fight other grown men barefisted at age 9 or something, on that island that they are from.


crazy simoans ,lol. i seriously wouldnt **** with tua, even if he hit on my girlfriend or something if i had a girlfriend, id just ignore him. lol my g/f would be like "alec stand up for me" id be like "fuuuuuuck no.you wouldnt want to get hit by a 100lb sledgehammer going 20 miles an hour would you????"..no woman is worth being punched by a guy like that barefisted, we're talking facial reconstructive surgery here. id just let him punk me and leave like a little *****, ill tell you right now.

15 pounds is about two weight class and unless you are a genetic freak I don't see how you can make up for that unless you got some great boxing skills. Being at 13 and 115 I doubt you have much power to fend of a 130 lb. If I had 15 pounds on a guy I just maul you in the corner of the ring and take your shoes when I'm done.

Hey, my trainer was letting me spar and train with 210 pounders and 6 footers but they were inexperience and couldn't kill a fly with an uppercut. But I didn't like the ringing in my ear after they got better.

Then you're blind and aiin't "seein" nothing. It would be a bad idea to fight a 17 year old, and in your age 15 lbs. is a big difference. I would talk to your trainer and make sure he knows his stuff, because you could get seriously hurt, especially if this kid is a power puncher, 15 lbs. more behind a punch can hurt you, bad.

its not dta much about the weight. im 16, if i went against a 13 yr old who weighed 20lbs more it wudnt make a difference, i wud still punch alot harder. and ur 15lbs less against a guy 4yrs older, if this guy knows anything, he shud be able to kill u coz i was 13yrs old once and if i compared myself to now, i wud have 0% of even hurting myself right now. and imagine the confidence he will have steping in the ring. i think he will just cum at u punching
