Ive finally found a way of getting the fight on youtube, sorry about the rubbish quality, i videod it on my ipad off the laptop :)
Its pretty embarrasing watching it back, i box a lot better than that but first fight and boxing infront of so many people i forgot about the boxing
I thought it was a very close fight. I've seen a fair bit of amatuer fights and although closely matched fighters is great, it's a shame you were matched against each other as I would have thought you would have both beaten most the other guys fighting that night.
I gave it to the guy in blue, only just. Felt he had the more quality punches and although black shorts were landing, they were of less quality, more swings than punches! I didn't score round by round, but probably the second round edged it.
Good fight to watch though, both of you went for it.
I watched it sound off only once, no scoring and on first look thought the guy in blue looked sharper and neater but the guy in black was timing and landing harder shots.Id give it to black on first view.Will watch it again when I get back from work and try scoring it. Still for now I think blues shots were dissolved more by Blacks movement and blue got caught harder and cleaner.
Amateur is scored different than pro though :-\.
nice fight cheers for sharing... The guy in blue had the better fundamentals and looked more the part when throwing his shots so I'll bet he got the decision.
But for me he was hitting arms and gloves and hardly connected where as the guy in black connected and hard almost every time and I gave him all 3 rounds with the middle rounds being the closest but he won everyone.
I suspect he is you so you won the lot mate... If I have that wrong and that wasn't you then I'm sorry but at least you can take comfort in not being ginger ;D
EDIT: I clicked blue on your poll but ment to click black ;)
In a fight like that, no one lost. It was a first fight, a great fight and all things considered, you looked good either way.
Very good fight. Didn't count the punches but I'd have to call that a draw. (Not going to vote until I can watch it again).
yep i am the dude in the black shorts and some women like ginger hair :)
Exactly the same here mate from what i saw this morning.Quote:

But some Amateur judges could go the other way on style and composure for the blue.
:cool: But fuck Style and composure, you won it.
I thought you won.
Blue shorts was a bit quicker and coming forward more so that's why he probably got it. You landed the better shots. And he looked a good few years younger than you.
You made him fall back a few times and kept marching forward. Your feet seemed to be more planted when you threw and you caught a lot of his shots on gloves and arms. It was a pretty even match up but I think you edged it. congratulations;D
The guy in blue shorts really looked like he was winning, until I noticed that he wasn't landing anything.
The guy in blue was a little busier and LOOKED better but a lot of what he did wasn't landing.
It was very close. I gave it to the guy in black shorts because he landed the harder cleaner shots especially in the 3rd round but the guy in blue had better fundamentals but didn't land as many.
Strange, but true.Quote:

Small ring and no headgear made for a good fight.
It must have been all kinds of fun in there.
Good job.
thats the bit i regret most, in sparring i have a decent tight style, my gaurd is up and one of my best assetsQuote:

The short story: I think the guy in black won and was a better boxer, but with a casual watch or just seeing some snippets it would probably look like the guy in blue won.
The long story:
I felt the guy in the blue shorts was busy, looking good, moving his head, throwing lots of combos, mostly moving forward, looking like a boxer. He got the floating around part, but not the stinging like a bee part. I felt he looked good but wasn't doing good. This says the guy in black shorts has great defensive skills, most likely. How else to explain the blue shorts looking so good but not hitting anything?
I felt the guy in black looked stiff and didn't throw many combos other than 1-2s. Even though he didn't throw as many punches or look as busy he was actually landing some sweet shots and somehow I felt he was the one in control. The guy in black wasn't floating like a butterfly, but he appeared to be stinging like a bee. The guy in black seemed to be keeping his powder dry. In a 3 round fight, that's probably not a great idea. Since you say "i box a lot better than that but first fight and boxing infront of so many people i forgot about the boxing" I'm going to guess you're the guy in black shorts because the guy in black was the one who was looking tense and shocked by it all.
It was a great fight. Plenty to look at in the video and learn from.
Having read the other comments I see you are the guy in black shorts. Next fight you will do way better. You'll be more relaxed and so you'll be busier. I felt it's pretty clear you have good boxing skills. I wouldn't be embarrassed to watch this. You probably feel that because you feel you could do a lot better than what you're seeing. I think you can, too. Once you get over the enormity of the crowd, etc., I see you takin' care of business :-)

Like you said though you know you'll be better next time out.
Any idea when you'll get another bout?
Bullshit :mad:, Did they really give the guy in blue the nod:confused:
If they did then this is why we have bullshit judges in the pros; (who judge like amateur fights) ,scoring glances even if the others guy has checked the punch on the end of it and dissolved the power or is moving back from the blow so it doesn't land fully).
WTF!!!! :mad:
fighting again in october, ive asked for a rematch :)Quote:

i dont think i was robbed mind, it was a close fight and im not that upset about the decision because i boxed so badly
and there was 10 fights on the night, the majority of people's first times and the other fights (appart from 1) just turned into brawls
It was your first fight so it seems the nerves got to you but it looks like you know what your doing and next time you will do better and look better doing it.Quote:

'the bouncer said "your the guy who was robbed arent you"'
I recognized that quote and so I looked it up and found the first thread :-) In the original thread you mention you were really knackered and that it turned out to be a lot harder work than expected. I have a couple of questions:
1) How much shadow boxing do you do?
2) How much do you think being tense took out of you? (obviously tension is a real energy sap)
It's fun to read the old thread after seeing the fight. Thanks for posting the video and sharing it with us. Hope you'll do the same with the fight in October!
Here's a link to the original thread for those interested:
