So as everyones else said how long have you been training?...Has anyone ever worked with you?....Amatuer or pro fights u looking for...If pro you have any experience as an amatuer?......Not to sound like an asshole here but you have to understand something.....A trainers time is very valuble...Especially one who has been around that long must know what he is doing no?....He may want to know how long you are going to stick around...Plus again how long you been at it?....As someone who owns a gym I get guys all the time who want to fight but dont go the whole road...In my gym you don't spar for six months and when you do it is not full contact unless I already know you are a experienced fighter before hand...Maybe he feels you are not ready either again has someone worked with you before....Don't take this as an insult but many guy's think they are better than what they are and truth is they suck big time and would get eaten alive by a guy with any experience...Not saying you are one of those guys not saying your not but it happens A LOT!!!.....If he is a good trainer he has his reasons...Don't be hasty to assume it's because of color.....BTW if he is an old time trainer take a look at the sport notice anything?....Hispanic and black fighters are the majority.....If you want to be in this game for that many years at some point and time you will have to work with one so prejudice is really not
a strong defense IMO unless he comes right out and says it
