Is in 6 Days
I fight...hopefully... Saturday night at my boxing gym. Its not am amateur boxing match or anything... its just a fight night at my gym. 16/14 oz gloves with headgear 3 2 minute rounds. I have trained for a little over a year, probably with a trainer for about 7 months.
I have sparred and am really nervous.....
5'9" 155lbs should come down to 147 by the time fight starts. I don't know who I am fighting ....
any words of advice???!?!?!
Good luck and remember to keep your hands up at all times or expect to get tagged a lot. I was stopped on a cut in my first fight mainley because of my lower guard. So thats my advice to you anyway, for having past experience that is.
Good luck and keep those hands up.
Let us know how it went.
Good luck on your first fight.
Work that jab and keep moving your opponent around to create an opening to drop a bomb is the best advise I can offer.
Definitely let us know how it went.
Anybody got anything else...I got two solid days left including today
Training with my trainer and get some sparring in Thursday...Friday....relax and hang out do some homework and Saturday just try not to freak out
keep hydrated and get plenty of carbs in :)
Yeah- stop ducking Antonio Margarito! ;)Quote:

Lennox would say: Use the jab? Absolutely!
I take it your fight is today? stay relaxed he is just as nervous as you are, dont try to intimidate and dont be intimidated, be polite to your opponent and smile a lot, DO NOT MAKE T6HE FIRST ROUND A WAR!!!! Jab and feel him out....1,2 hook to surprise him...b calm ul do fine
Exactly...stay calm...use your jab and feints and look to see if he has any early tells....does he drop his hands after a punch?.....good luck!!!Quote:

I was really nervous the moment the fight started, I couldnt relax, I couldnt move or throw as well as I do during sparring. I almost dropped the other fighter in the 2nd round. I hit him with a right cross and his hands just dropped, I realized that but couldnt close the deal so to speak. I lost the fight because of a bogus standing 8 count....The fighter was comming at me, and I started backing up to the ropes and attempted to roll out but the ref jumped in.... My opponent could crack an egg with his punches, he landed a couple on me and they didnt even phase me, I think the body shot he hit me with couldnt even satisfy an itch I had. I wasnt too happy but I got my first fight cherry popped.
Way to lose your V. You learned something valueble right? Next time get an SOB shook you gotta close the deal, no negotiations. You'll find out that a lot of referees are as blind and stupid as they come so you gotta protect yourself from anything.
Congrats, my hat goes off to ya, I hope your next fight will a real winner for ya.
Yeah I will learn to relax, I have been hit harder during sparring and I hope there will be a rematch. The fight wasnt fair in my opinion because my oppenent's trainer is the owner of the gym where the fights were held and his fighters usually win their fights not because they are better or even look better...Quote:

Good luck with that. What's your trainer think of ya? Amateur fights will be a big boost for you so you should take care of that. If you get anything on Youtube that would be great, I'll check it out when you get around to that.
My trainer said that the last three fighters he had got crooked decisions when his fighters fought the fighters trained by the gym owner... I saw two of those fights and I agree with him. Its kind of like being a white boy and fighting in Thailand....you don't win by decision no matter what......He also said he lost his first fight aswell and won 7 in a row after that...I dont know if its true but it gave me a mental boost. I will get that on youtube when I get the tape and will keep you guys posted on my next fight.Quote:
