Too soon for first fight?

[SgtMajorPwnage]

I just started training about three weeks ago and my coach is talking about putting me in the golden gloves in April. Is that too soon? I'm not really worried about it I'll do it. I just don't want to take a loss when I shouldn't have been there In The first place.

Yes its too soon + to do golden gloves you have to have some fights already. Where I come from its 10 fights minimum.

3 weeks I wouldnt even spar yet.

I was told I would be pitted against people with zero to ten match experience.

who cares if you lose?

[SgtMajorPwnage]

I do. I don't want a loss because I decided to fight when I wasn't ready. But I guess I'll see when the time comes. If I feel ready ill fight if not I'll wait.

you sound like your not confident so your opponents already have an edge....so dont fight

just a number.
0-1
you'll learn, so you still win. great experience no?

[SgtMajorPwnage]

Yup, and I'm confident I just want to be ready.

Its a tournament so you most likely will lose in the first fight or later on in the tournament if you enter with only 3 months of training...

[SgtMajorPwnage]

That's what I figured, from what I've read most people train 6 to 9 months before their first fight.
