I am fighting amatuer right now and here is the basics of what we do at the gym.

Mon: run 10-15 minutes straight; 3-4 rounds free boxing on the heavy bags; 3-4 rounds skipping rope; at this point coach will split us up doing different things, he will hold mitts for one of us for a couple of rounds while the rest of us work on blocking jabs, bob n weave, and various other things.

Tues: run 10 minutes straight; sparring is usually done on this day, if you dont spar then you end up hitting the heavy bags, skipping rope, running, or working on various other things.

Thur: run 10-15 straight; little kids will spar; the rest of us will work with the heavy bags, skipping rope, running, shadow boxing, etc.

Fri: run 10-15 minutes straight; running (various sprints); mostly work on cardio.

I have been boxing since the end of March and have gone from a fat 180lbs to a soft 165. My stamina is a lot better than when I started, but not where it should be. I have had one fight and am hoping to have one more by the end of this month.

we'll chalk that up as "L" for a learning experience, sounds like you did pretty well (I found the post after I replied to this one) I think we are around the same age, so you are kinda inspiring me to get more serious in my training, how long were you at the gym before you fought?

About 3 or 4 months.
