Re: I won TKO 2nd round!!!
Cheers everybody , really enjoyed getting in the ring. It's tough work though especially against a big lad, I need to get down in weight. I'm training hard every week though and losing weight everytime I weigh in. I might try and get on another show before Christmas but if not I'll be back in the new year.

On reflection, maybe it was not a big deal. You beat a fighter that came in at late notice.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

The guy fights a lot, he had 34 fights before me so I'm happy with that for my first fight in long time.On reflection, maybe it was not a big deal. You beat a fighter that came in at late notice.

Get back training and get that missing DJ. Hunt him down, goad him into a fight, wear a decapitated picture of his head on your T shirt.The guy fights a lot, he had 34 fights before me so I'm happy with that for my first fight in long time.On reflection, maybe it was not a big deal.

Re: I won TKO 2nd round!!!
Is this white collar then Tam?
Be carefull!
You culd be fighting anyone. They could have any kind of experience. These shows are dangerous, no medicals, no insurance whatso ever and no evenly matched fghts.
I have no idea why some choose to go down the white collar route rather than legit ABA amateur boxing.
In the ABAE you are insured against injury for up to 2 years after a contest. You are fighting someone your own experience level and weight and everyone looking after you has had a CRB check and is qualified.
Pretty much unlicenced boxing where your safety is not paramount but the number of tickets sold is.
Take a look at the kinds of hidings people are allowed to take in unlicenced shows, Darren Dorrington almost getting killed.

Re: I won TKO 2nd round!!!
I know what you mean and I am aware of this, the annoying thing for me is no gyms where I live actually go through the ABA anymore for one reason or another. My gym is mainly a Thai boxing gym and with me training there since I was young I am loyal to them and I have a good connection with the trainers. It would feel wrong joining another gym and my trust is in their hands when they match me up. I know for a fact they would never put me in with someone who's way above my skill level and they make sure they see my opponent before I get in. I know it's a risk and I do need to be careful.

The dj ignored every call and Facebook message sent to him and he's never allowed to fight on the show again. He pissed me off though, not saying anything and not having the balls to say why. I'll find out when he's dj'ing and ask him.Get back training and get that missing DJ.
