Re: Man amateurs are sloppy!
Its always easier making a judgement from the outside, nothing wrong with it, we all do it. Not just boxing either, we all say or think we could do better at times, but the fact is if we could, we would be (in most cases)
Re: Man amateurs are sloppy!
looks slower than it feels when ur doing it :> tell some one to punch his fastest and fro msome angels it will look like slow motion

Perfectly said. If you could beat someones ass.. why wouldn't you be in the rind doing it. Teddy Roosevelt said it best....
t "It is not the critic that counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or the doer of deeds could have them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the Arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but he who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great devotion; who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails while daring greatly, knows that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls, who know neither victory nor defeat." --

I know this but the first thing your trainer will teach you is how to throw straight punches. These guys i watched stood back and swung like a rusty gate.
Re: Man amateurs are sloppy!
not all amatuers are shit just the aussie ones u watch lol seriously thou if ur so gd y dont u enter and knock them all out like u said u would
Re: Man amateurs are sloppy!
I dont think he could knock me out. I think I could give him a lil run for his money
Re: Man amateurs are sloppy!
i know what ya mean with the sloppy stuff.
and i've seen some people who i train with, throw sloppy in a bout.
but during training they throw very good shots, mayb (almost) perfect, ;Djust like you ;D.
some people who are good in a gym get sloppy in a ring.
pressure, tyred, frustration, wrong possition, it can happen to every1.
remeber a fight is NOT a sparring session
Re: Man amateurs are sloppy!
Some are crap, some are good. All I can say is, its much easier to talk than to act. I remember before starting boxing and watching boxing matches on TV, I use to think some of them looked so crap but when I started out and put myself on video..I laughed.
Re: Man amateurs are sloppy!
they're just learning man... I suck too but I don't learn to master the art of boxing in just a few months -- did you???
Re: Man amateurs are sloppy!
Am I the only amateur here who doesn't think he sucks and agrees with snakey? O0
Re: Man amateurs are sloppy!
Im not saying anything bad im just saying that after what i saw i think some are very sloppy. I know its easier to talk and im not just talking. As i said i will probably be in next yrs local fight night. But for now im still training, i got the technique down just need more stamina.
Re: Man amateurs are sloppy!
Ok wel we know everyone learning the sport isn't going to be the greates fighter right off the bat -- so why come out talking like u're the king of the ring? I'm sure there's boxers out there that could critique you the same arrogant way -- it's stupid. Everyone's trying to learn the sport and enjoy it. I wouldnt want someone walking around w/ their nose up saying shit about me and im sure nobody else would want it either -- it just sounds arrogant. Unless your the champion of your weight class, let's keep our egos in check here.
Re: Man amateurs are sloppy!
yeh i was at that same fight night and some of the fighters were lookin sloppy in the ring but i guess thats cos they get nervous and just start swingin wildly and try 2 brawl with the other fighter, especially if they havent had many fights inside the ring the only thing they would be used 2 when it comes 2 fightin and really tryin 2 hurt the other fighter is fightin on the street.
there was 1 young kid and i think it was bout his 2nd or 3rd fight and he was throwin left right over hand haymakers of some sort, just goin 4 a knock out and he even did that again the followin round i dont understand y the trainers didnt drum it in2 him that he should box.
snakey, there is a fight night in my home town in bout september or around that time, ya should make the trip down 2 watch i may be fightin that nite if i keep up the hard work.
Re: Man amateurs are sloppy!
Amateurs are shit
It has been that way for a long time
Should 8 or 12 year olds box competitively?
Most trainers narrow minded?
Should they be allowed to box the next week after a bout?
Is headgear useful?
Is there no real regional tournaments?
Is the scoring system flawed?
Re: Man amateurs are sloppy!
amatuers are not shit. fuck you man.
some of us are just starting out, but others have been going for a while. trust me it isnt as easy as it seems to KO somone, and you can take it from me, ive KO'd 12 people in my freaking "career".
id love to see some of the guys who think all amatuers are poor to get in the right with me/some people i know. that would be a really big shock

Man lets not forget the extremely hot ring card chicks ;D
Re: Man amateurs are sloppy!
hey everybody starts as an amateure.
Look at cuba they dont even turn pro but if they did they would have alot of world title belts gauranteed.
kindelen has beaten cotto when he was an amateure. cotto is not shit. anybody who sneers and turns there noses up at amateure boxing is a wan*er and knows very little about boxing, its like your apprenticeship into the sport no ones a master at the start it takes alot to learn the sport.
And as far as knocking someone out goes you can hit someone your hardest and they are still there, how much fights have you had snakey, not much by the sounds of things because amateures go 100 miles an hour rush at you swing at you. Try and look good when someone is running swingin its hard i know.
