It's the first time, you're bound to get jitters, bro. You can't expect to just start something and be great at it. Now that you got your first time done with, hit the bag and practice your technique. You will get better with time.

You sparred someone experienced, they beat you down, and people laughed?

Get the **** out of there. That's what you should be doing.

Run like a dog with its tail between its legs, ha Exige. Your gym must train some awsome shadow boxers. True fighters come back for more and learn in the process.


Speed E, as long as you were not physically hurt then go back and roll some more. Thats how we all learned. Dont get any better by sparring people that you can always beat. Some times youll leave with lumps on your head and some times you wont. But the true fighters always show up the next day.

we have all been beginners at some time or another. Just keep showing up and they will respect you in time. Well atleast everybody besides Exige has been a beginner at some time or another.

Ive laughed at guys trying it out for the first time, cause it is funny. God, some of these guys just didnt get what boxing was about yet, few do actually when that green. All he has to do is keep showing up, working hard and trying. Respect is earned in the gym, not granted.

they most likely didnt laugh at you for getting hit, just the situation probably...

everyone gets their ass handed to them first few sparring sessions...you only get better

[Nacho_Analstain]

[Exige Jr]

Rockin', listen.

Stop with the disrespect, right now. Just do that. Keep my name out of your posts. Simple as.
