Re: Any Becoming Pro or Thinking of Becoming Pro... I need some advice...
Hey Chris, If you're thinking about going professional then you gotta treat your training like a profession. I mean you gotta be serious in what you're doing and take thing for more than face value. In light of training, you're going to have to do a lot of things on your own and if you're going to compete you really gotta break down what you're doing in training.
Now there's a lot of good ideas when it comes to training. If I were you I'd start getting back into fighting shape with roadwork a 3-4 times a week, and calisthenics to get your body strong enough. When it comes to skill developement you're really going have to consider all the ins-and-outs. For example when you'r shadowboxing you're not just practicing your punches, you're teaching yourself how to set things up and you do things accordingly as if you really were in a fight.
Now a tough way to go is training yourself, I'm afraid the boxing instructionals that are being sold by Title and other supplyers are more harm than good, but there's a few books and videos that are worth looking into. I'll give you some names of those if you're interested.
Now if you can find a teacher that knows boxing, is experienced, and knows how to teach then you'll save yourself a lot of trial and error. You need to back in shape, you need to sharpen up, sparring and understanding what you're doing will help you big time.
If you hear a voice within you saying that I am not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.
