Hello boxers, I am just getting into this sport and was wondering what equipment I should buy in order to get serious. I think I know the basics as in getting some gloves, hand-wraps, ect. Do you guys think I also need some headgear and a mouthpiece yet? If you could give me some specific links / brands / prices that would be great as well! Also I was wondering if I could box even though I am little of the short side, 5'6", or is that not considered short in the world of boxing? Any tips that you guys could offer me would be greatly appreciated, as in joining an amateur league and such! Thanks a lot for reading through this and I hope you guys can help me out with some of my concerns.
