Final advice before my debut fight?

[Eastbound]

good luck with your fight. keep the nerves under control and stay with your plan

[markyod]

Box well and jab his head off every round

[markyod]

Im guessing its 3x2min rounds? keep it fast paced a lot of activity, not enough time to make it a chess match in these types of fights.

The 14th of this month is my debut fight, it isn't quite amateur rankings it's a charity event but my opponent is very fit and won't be no push over.

I've been watching various amateur bouts along with watching white collar bouts (the competition I am entering is on a higher level than white collar in my opinion, there's no donkeys on the card) but what I've noticed in almost every amateur bout I've watched is that there's no technique used??? One will rush at the other and they will both begin punching like mad men looking like they haven't really learnt anything and not caring if they get hit as long as they get more in and hope that they hit harder...

At a professional level you would get your ass beat by rushing in guns blazing but for amateurs it seems to be the key to success? At least for those that are either debuting or have only fought a couple of times.

At the moment I am feeling very calm, but all of the bouts I've watched they seem to be furious, which I thought was ****** to do in boxing? I've always planned to be calm in there.

I really want to use my technique that I've learnt but if my opponent rushes in like every other amateur fight I've seen it will just be another slug match where anyone can land a lucky punch... Advice? Should I try and use footwork and range if he is to charge and play defensive but land when a target is there or should I slug it out and try beat him to the punch?

Did any of you guys have the experience of your first ever opponent throwing out the core of boxing and wanting to slug (which anyone on the street could do.) ? Or did you actually have a tactical match up?

I get that some have the boxing style of being a slugger but from what I've seen they're all sluggers... makes them look really inexperienced.

Always stay calm, hands up for some wild haymakers. But don't be too calm that you don't throw punches. Speed and you will have speed till the last minute of the fight. If you start slow you will stay slow.

If he is taller, stay in, but be careful for uppercuts. If you are taller keep him at bay and counter with the right.

If he is southpaw, counter his jab with your jab and keep your left feet on the outside.

You will feel butterflies until you hear the bell and feel the first hit.

Control your breathing before and during the bout. Either you have prepared properly or you have not. When that bell rings, go git 'em…….. Rockin'

Best advice no doubt. Countering and keeping distance will play key role in the opening rounds.

Counter punching? In your first throw ever. Funk that, get off first and last! So you are recommending that he "counters and keeps distance" for the first 2 thirds of the bout? That's great, but what does he do in the last third of the bout? I mean wtf?

Just get in there and do what you do. You take control of the throw from the ftrst bell. However you fight, control your pace. And breathe!……….Rockin'

Honestly, the first thing that I made certain to do is to earn his respect, meaning bust him with a good one to his belly or head. This is done to relieve his pressure a bit. After that you're just rolling by the laws of the fist. Do as you will. And even further, do as you've trained to do. ..……...Rockin'

Agreed this with.

People don’t seem to understand the points system in amateur fights on here?

Let your hands go from the first second and try to; tap, clip, hit the opponent as many times as possible.
