I'm looking to spar or fight with another boxer, without going through my gym as a form of extra training. anyone on here from the Northwest interested in sparring with me, as I would like some practice before deciding to go pro. :musle:

What weight class roughly? Height and Weight?
My weight class is roughly cruiserweight. I'm currently 14.5 st and 5' 6".
Tam is a cruiserweight and fights on the circuit and posts here.Quote:

Hi Tam.
I'm in Liverpool. Whereabouts are you? We can meet between your fight dates and get in the ring.
Tam is from Southport ;)Quote:

Thats good. Southport isn't far from me.
I train at team elite gym in southport on Shakespeare street. boxing sparring is Tuesday and Thursday nights, 7-9. Im in the gym 4 times a week, I do the thai boxing as well.Quote:

Im there all the time mate and I am mainly a boxer, I just do the Thai boxing training. Come down whenever you want im always there. but Tuesdays or Thursdays are the best days for boxing sparring.Quote:

you are heavy for your height
i'm about 15 stone now, 6 foot 2, out of shape and unfit, I haven't sparred for over a year
ill be down to southport on Thursday for a bit :)
p.s. whats a non sparring fight?
The reason I'm heavy for my height is because I used to use heavy weights a lot, as I was a skinny kid years ago. Blow on me and I'd fall over! Trying to go down a few weight classes now.Quote:

I'd prob like to spar with you too, but with you at 6' 2" I'd find it difficult to get the reach for a head shot at ya. Not unless the'd allow a stepladder in the ring!! :DQuote:

Build wise your prob right picturing me as a mini Mike Tyson. But at least I wont try and bite off yer ear. :cool:
Got any footage mate? I'm interested in seeing what a 5'6'' CW looks like. Not taking the piss, you must be built like a brick shithouse if you're in shape.
Dwight Qawi was that height and a tough fighter.Quote:

check your inbox mate. I have just got back from sparring now... I just did three rounds with the ISKA kickboxing world champion kevin ward in a boxing spar. I did really well I was happy with that, we have been doing a lot of sparring recently and he says I am a really good boxing spar for him. Ive been improving a lot getting in with him and a lot of other decent fighters.Quote:

just go for my belly matey, its the biggest target nowadays
Thanks for the suggestion mate. Might be a good idea. right jab in the abdomen, you'll hunch forward low enough so I can left hook ya on right side of head.
Good going getting to spar with kevin ward. If he says you're a good spar for him, that must be saying something.
I've linked you on facebook and messaged you my number. Cant PM you on here yet as I apparently dont have enough points to PM yet.
Don't have any footage at mo. Guess I'll have to get someone to get their camcorder out. :)

First time I have read the opponent giving hints on how to beat him and pointing out his weak spots. You must be bluffing and have a 6 pack. :)
have a look at my avi, ive got one thereQuote:

I guess he could be bluffin' and packing a six pack as hard as breezeblocks.
Then again I'd be willing to get in the ring with this 6' 2" boxer, even though when I get to meet him on the day he's built like a S**t brickhouse. Better the guys on this site see I've got balls and prepared to get in the ring and give it my best, even though I'm gonna end up on my back on the canvas, than be seen to chicken out. Can't always only choose fights I know I'm gonna win all the time.
Knowing your gonna lose sometimes is part of being a boxer. Even knowing your gonna lose before getting in the ring.
No honest I'm well round
I'm just typing on my iPad now peering over my gut
We'll have to meet up for a spar as well then. Sparring with someone who's several inches taller will be a challenge, and good practice, as a lot of people are taller than me. :eek:Quote:

I wanna get into the ring and have a spar wit you because you are a boxer, having a few extra pounds doesn't mean you wont beat me. I dont want you to beat me, I want to beat you. Your few extra pounds wont decide that though.
