I won TKO 2nd round!!!

[Tam Seddon]

Is this pro boxing tam ?

No mate it's like ABA boxing 3x2 min rounds but it's not officially done through the ABA.

[Tam Seddon]

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.

The guy fights a lot, he had 34 fights before me so I'm happy with that for my first fight in long time.

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.

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.

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.

If this is white collar they will take whoever wants to fight to fill shows. You are all making them money

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.

Yes it is white collar but he pissed us around badly so he won't be asked to fight again if he won't turn up. The organiser doesn't want time wasters!

Fair play to you but dont be fooled, your trainers will be getting something out of it cash wise.

You see alot of these shows advertising that the show is covered by insurance. They can only get public liability for the audience. The only combat sport in England that the participants can get insured while competing is amateur boxing and pro boxing I may be wrong and some of the martial arts may have insurance for competitions but never for MMA, co batants have to sign a waiver) and thats because the ABA cover themselves. No insurance companies. Which is why their rules are so strict on the boxers competing in anything else. They dont want to cover you for injuries sustained somewhere else that isnt as well regulated. This goes for any fight outside of licenced boxing either through the ABA or the BBBC.

I'll be careful for sure I don't want to be hurt in there. We had headguard and 16oz gloves for the fight and I remember I had 10oz gloves for the ABA fights I had when I was younger. This show was also for the James bulger charity and it was a family event so we were warned that fights would be stopped if it was looking like someone is getting hurt. Out of 13 fights there were two of us who got KO wins, me and another lad from are gym. I knocked him down with a jab right hand and he got up and I finished him again with the same punches. My mate uploaded the video to Facebook, ill get him to send me it and I'll upload to YouTube when I can.

Well done. Stoppages are hard to get with 16 oz gloves and headgear. Did you feint him to set up the 1-2?

What you are doing sounds very similar to the 3 smokers I had a few years ago. 3, 2 min rounds headgear n big gloves. I'd fight at around 165 and twice they tried getting me to fight 195 and 205 lb opponents. I said "no thanks". Weeks would go by without hearing if i had an opponent at all. It's true that you must be careful with who you are matched against. My first fight was against a 185 lb beast and that remains my proudest boxing moment as I fought to a draw.

[bzkfn]

Well done. A stoppage win is very impressive.

I tried 'boxing' once. Do you know your opponent often has the cheek to hit you back, and what is worse; it hurts!

I wasn't aware of this. Thanks for the warning bud, I'll know to stear well clear of this shit.

This guy weighed in at 17 stone 3 pounds he was a big boy! Hopefully I'll have the video up by tomorrow so you can see. It was a left hook , right hand that ended it after the first knockdown which was a jab right hand.
