Fighting on friday

[Master]

You are living my dream, go for it, I just wish I had the courage.

[Manos de Piedra]

Good job, looking forward to watching the fight.

Thanks lads

I lost on points

Everyone said it was the fight of the night and most said i was robbed but i doubt they would say anything else to my face

When i was leaving tho the bouncer said "your the guy who was robbed arent you" which makes me think i may have had a case

I get the dvd in a week so i can make my own mind up, i post it up when i do

One thing i learned tho is it is nothing like sparring, i consider myself a fit person and i can spar 10 rounds and still be fresh, afer the first round last night i was knackered

How did you feel you did after the fight, when the final bell went? I know you say it was close but did you feel you had done enough?

Anyway nice one mate

I felt i lost the first round, then i stepped it up in the second and was the aggressor all through the round but i did get caught with a few, at the same time i landed a few myself so its hard to say which way that went

I am sure i won the last round, i know he was tired, i threw a lot more punches and hardly got hit

Although it could have gone very different, it went so quick my memory is pretty hazey

I cant wait for the dvd now

Cheers lads

Fair play mate - respect to you!!!

Second that

So whats your background Eric, you said this is your first fight, first in a while or first full stop?

I thought 35 was the cut off age for am fights? If not Ive got a couple of years left in me yet

it was white collar, and yeah i think 35 is the cut off date, but isnt there a senior am circuit?

i really dont have any background in boxing, i trained in a gym for about 6 months and once a week when i was 16 and thats about it until about 6 to 12 months ago

always loved boxing but played other sports, i really wish id have at least given it a go when i was younger

dont think it will be my last fight, i took on the hardest fight i could have for my first night and even if i wasnt robbed it sounded close, and we got a lot of praise for how technical the fight was compared to the others on the night

maybe i should reserve judgement till i see the dvd

[Andre]

Great stuff Eric what an experience to have behind you .

[WayneFlint]

Well done eric, i respect any man thats had the balls to stand up infront of a croud and fight with another guy whos trained to fight. dont worry about the record, anyone that knows boxing at all has seen a very talented fighter get raped on the decision before. a few losses at events like that dont mean nothing, it makes you wonder where the judges are looking at times, or maybe more like who they sat with at dinner?

Good advice andre, im all relaxed after reading that post lol.

[Slim the BoxingManiac]

Funny thing you mention the record, Wayne. There's been fighters like Emmanuel Augustus that have terrible records, yet are very nice fighters. Mayweather still maintains that Augustus was his toughest fight.

there has been a slight delay on the release of the dvd but im told it will be friday

i know you are all chomping at the bit to watch my fight

you get a little taster in my new avi

I'm looking forward it watching it.

My goal is to have at least one am fight, just so I can say I've done it.

But my fitness is a long, long way off being able to do it.

obviously there are lots of things i would do different in a second fight but if i had one bit of advice it would be dont underestimate the fitness you need

even if you were just doing 3 twos

its a lot harder work than i expected

[erics44]

got the dvd but its just one long file

anyone know how i would split it up into parts?

i was robbed by the way

[0james0]

Just upload the whole lot in one swoop, or does it have lots of different fights on?
