My 9 second fight..

[Youngblood]

okay, first thing, forget about this. You weren't going in a boxer, or even really a trained fighter. You were going in wanting to be one. So just write it off as that.


Now, if you really want to do this thing get prepared to put the time and work in. There are different schools of thought about prep time, but personally I don't think a person should be having any sanctioned (licensed) fights until at least 9-12 months of training. Consistent training, which begins with learning the basics, and learning them well. Taking those basics then applying them to sparring to see how they work, you becoming comfortable with them. And when you have a grasp, then advancing. There are few who can make shortcuts in the fighting game. And it's no fun for those that get caught trying.

This thing takes time and lots of dedication. Put the work in and you'll see the payoffs.

No points off for trying. Hey ya went further than most who just sit behind a keyboard talking about it.

Take in advice from those who have been there and done that. Better luck in the future.

Yeah, it wasnt like i was actually going for a career into mma though, im going into boxing, the only reason i did this was for practice like know whats its like and it was with a friend that was beginning too

[erics44]

You flew out like an idiot mate, no composure what so ever, one thing on your mind and no defense

What was it like that by the way? Gettin koed like that

Respect tho, come back stronger and all that

[erics44]

Not that i know anything about mma tho

[Sandman1995]

Well, i was pretty nervous too. i think when i first walked in i got nervous.. being the center of attention
for my first fight in front of 600+ people was pretty nerve wrecking.
i think i wasnt watching his hands, and i was just focused on his face Lol (in sparring i dont do that, maybe just it being a big thing for me made me even more nervous)
didnt think about anything once i got nervous and actually got in there. i forgot everything it seemed like,
but the next time ill be thinking more clearly and know what happens
and that was the first time in my life being knocked out.. weird feeling.

You've clearly got some balls to show yourself getting completely ironed liked that. Youngblood's advice is spot on. A cynic might say give up now.

It doesn't matter how good you are you'll always be shitting it before the fight. It's how you perform under pressure what seperates the greats from the could-have-beens.

i know feeling of fighting infront of so many people and it being for the first time and on the night i fought nerves got to a lot of people and the fights just turned into brawls
