No youre not going to get brain damage having a few amateur fights, like others said if you turn pro and box for years is really the only way to do serious damage.

Tons of fights at the lower weights, most of the fighters that I know are below 150 actually.

I like judo for boxing because of the balance and body positioning aspects. You can do some serious damage while infighting because you just have a feel for close-in fighting. Learn how to off-balance guys, when's the best time to hit, how to pressure people and hold them on the ropes, etc. I'm a 6'0 middleweight and I think I'm better at infighting than outfighting because of the limited judo I did (like 4 months).

nice, that does make sense, for me its basically reaction to get in close, close off space, grab em, push em off balance, use momentom to get the throw, ofcourse not all if applicable, but i see what you mean. i didnt even take judo seriously to, practicing really does turn into reaction. but anyways, i think im gunna try and get myself up to 135 atleast. now all i have to do is find a proper gym. to the yellow pages i go! if theres anyone here who lives in oakvile/mississauga/toronto that knows a good gym, with fair prices pm me, looking for a gym for competition.

how do you get a trainer to train you nyways, i mean, its not like judo where the class is taught by a few black belts, the boxing trainer im sure dosnt want to waste his time with me, should i just attend classes, go to the gym when theres no classes and stuff, just train for a bit and then comfront him about training me when he can see that im serious about it or something, i dont want to wait around untill he says something, nothing gets done when you wait on other people

does knowing that millions have died or been seriously injured driving cars stop you from driving a car? Grow some balls and just do it. The amatuer game is a good sport for any young man.........Rockin'
