[Twanky1]

I am listening to ur advice to turn it down guys.....but unfortunatley we already agreed on it. If i back out ill look like a pansy. If i come close to beating this guy or even simply put up a good fight ill be happy.....this guy is clearly physically superior but i dont beleive he has evre had a trrainer.

hahah....well he still outweighs me by 10kg of pure muscle

hit him in the solar plexus then......focus on the body...most people are not conditioned to take body blows......when he throws the jab....duck down...step forward..and drive your jab or straight right into his midsection......good luck......

K thanks anymore tips? i need all te help i can get

yeah, get a quality mouth guard and keep your hands UP and elbows IN. Snap 'em and bring em back immediately. If you land one, keep throwing. He's hurt so don't let him off the hook. Keep your punches inside...short, crisp and clean. The shorter the punch, the quicker it gets there, the tougher it is to get out of the way of. Don't flail or your guard will be compromised. Keep your eyes open or you won't see what's coming.

And this is one thing that hurts the sport....Honestly, I feel an backyard Wrestling, Boxing or MMA type stuff should totally be outlawed and if your kids are doing it,,,They should get flogged until they sleep!!!!

As you can tell, I dont advocate any of this kind of stuff...

The sports we are involved in are very serious and when you kids put gloves on, go out back and then knock each other's heads in, its not you that has to deal with reprocussions, its the real people involved in the business, because new restrictions and rules come into the picture...Making it harder for fighters to do what they REALLY get paid for!!

Good Luck!!!!

[Twanky1]

I see where your coming from coach...maybe ur right

[Von Milash]

coach has a good point.

The one thing I do applaud in your "sparring" sessions is that you guys are making a genuine effort to box with style and form and aren't just flailing away like idiots.

Having said that, wouldn't it make perfect sense for you guys to join a gym and really LEARN how to box? Hell, one day you might even get paid for it.

But at the very least you guys should be wearing mouth guards and head gear and sparring lightly.

[AdamGB]

you seem like a decent kid, I'm glad you appear to be listening to what we say to you... so for now this thread stays...

But just for the record... I'm not a... 'huge fan' of all this 'backyard boxing' nonsense

[Heavy D]

Am I the only one who noticed that he said he DOES box, and he DOES (or rather, DID) have a trainer, and he HAS sparred before?

This other kid doesn't look like he knows what he's doing at all, outside of having watched a few boxing matches and maybe look at a book or two. His form is a lot better than most street brawlers, but you can definately tell he doesnt REALLY know what he's doing.

Just stick to your basics, and this kid should be no problem, assuming you aren't lying/exaggerating about your training and experience.
