What was your first amateur boxing fight like?

[RDJ]

I haven't had my first fight yet. I'm a late starter, I started at 28 years old (I'm 32 now). At first I wasn't planning on fighting even though sparring went better and better, I felt I had nothing to prove at my age. But I kept improving and recently decided that I will have at least a few fights. My first fight will probably in October. I can't wait.

Good luck in October. I was 33 when I had my first amatuer fight, and had only been in the gym for about 3 months. Wish I had the time to stay in it, trying to get back into it now.

Good to hear I'm not the only late starter. I have the body of a 20 year old though

When I started boxing I was a fat slob, almost 50 pounds heavier than I am now. At the moment I am a 5'9" light welter, perhaps I can even get down to lightweight.
