this dude wants to train me

[Mikkel_K]

Dude, there has to be an easier way to make money, what you get paid a couple of hundred bucks, stop wasting your time man and get a proper job, they always need delivery drivers at pizza hut, or servers at McDonalds, the only thing boxing is going to get you is brain damaged, there is no glory or pride in getting your face smashed in every couple of weeks. All the new trainer is going to get you is beaten up even more, watch your youtube video again man, you ain't no boxer.... You guys can mother him as much as you want, he is not doing anyone any favours including himself, maybe your kids would prefer to reconise you when you are older and vice versa, there are other options.

The thing is even if you believe in all this, you should realize Hartley would be better off with a trainer than without. Which is why, as people suggest, he should try it out.

Hell, I dont even box, but the idea of being trained by a guy who once shared a ring with George Foreman, Michael Moorer and Andrew Golota seem pretty interesting to me also.

honestly man, you are less skilled than the average beginner.

But you probably know that and are just shitting us.

You have my complete respect for just doing.
(I dont know what you been up to bro, I havent a clue, havent been following it at all, but hey you get judged only on what you actually do...not on what you think or dream of doing. A teacher teaches a healer heals,a fighter fights and a politician tells lies .
Guess what ..over 95% of lifes knockers do nothing. Try to be the best possible YOU in every aspect and improvement is a given.

you guys are all too nice. he's horseshit. the fact that he ever got a license to fight a pro fight shows you how flawed/corrupt the sport can be. He's no more of a professional athlete than Elmer Fud.

the things is, though, he comes on here talking how great he is. that's what makes him open to the attacks.

Back in the Philippines, I was able to catch a boxing exhibition. This was the kind where everyone that didn't know jack-shit about boxing was allowed to fight. It was just your regular skinny filipino off the street going at it. As you can imagine they were just swinging for the fences, not amounting any sort of defense or anything that would resemble boxing at all. Several of these exhibition matches were 1-rounders, but after each one the guys looked like they were going to hork.

At the end of the show was just a real amateur bout; by comparison to the previous bouts it might have well been for the title.

Now I think in order to make any sort of progress in boxing you need to realize where you are at, be humble enough to admit your mistakes, deal with it one by one, and eventually distinguish yourself from the rest of the crop.

For example, don't just wail on the bags when you're training, be deliberate and do it right. Don't just go through the motions either, plan things out in advanced (i.e. what punches you're going to work on, hypotheticals of what are you going to do if your opponent does 'X', etc.) Find yourself a gym that allows for 'real' sparring and not just poor exhibitions.

Well in that case, if this guy realizes that there is someone who is poking him out there with a stick from behind, he should have more respect for himself ; turn around and deal with them first; If he does, then its been a worthwhile exersize.

Negativity at worse, can put people into the negative so they never try to rise up again.

Put the ego aside and have respect for your self first and it will grow and flow on out to others,even physical losses can't tear down whats built on that foundation.
