Good luck mate What ever happens you've done well just stepping in between the ropes and onto the canvas...

adam gb the fight was going really well until the 2nd and he popped my nose and the ref stopped it he was 6 foot 3 and he was 13 stone 5 and i was 6 foot and 12 stone 9 which was very strange. but anyways cheers for the help and im fighting again on may 5th so ill keep you posted

[AdamGB]

Well done for getting in there It happens, refs have to be really carefull. You lost but you haven't been beat

are you sure the weights where right? sounds like he was just over the light heavyweight limit and you where just under it

[AdamGB]

oh and have a cool click, by the way now you've got 100 posts... have a word with saddo about somehwere you are aloud to go on here now

[Tam Seddon]

i coundt belive i was 12 stone 9 lol im happy with that but my nose was really bleeding alot and it was very close until the stoppage he had the hight and weight adavantage as well which didnt help i was really confident but now im just gutted i think next season ill have 2 fight 12 stone cos thats what i should be at my nose does hurt alot lol

[AdamGB]

as long as you think you can loose 9 stone and still stay strong... weight loss generally has more dissadvantages than advantages unless you're out of shape.

Don't worry about your loss though, you're not a fully trained boxer, its all part of learning the sport....

[Tam Seddon]

if it had gone the 3 rounds i think he would have won it but im not feeling comfortable fighting somebody at 13 stone 5 i rekon i could by the end of the summer get down 2 12 and still be ok

[AdamGB]

speak to your coach. at 12.9 the heaviest you should figh agianst should only be about 13 stone. maybe the weights where wrong... at shows like that they can let the odd couple of kg go...

[Tam Seddon]

the fucked kept on holdin and hittin me

[AdamGB]

Don't worry about it Most people loose there first fight. I lost mine on I think 2-3 punches then went on to win 3 in a row. 1 by knock out... one where the kid had to go to hospital for his nose (and tbh if he hadn't clinched through 70% of the fight he'd of ben KOd) and fight which was basically a compressed rumble in the jungle (well newcastle) :P

its up to the doctor

[AdamGB]

The doctor is there for safety and to give his opinion to the ref if he asks for it which the ref will listen to 99.9% of the time. Everything goes through the ref.

adam gb im fighting this friday at the adelphi hotel in liverpool shud b a good one.but 1 thing is worrying me i think im to underweight for the fight. what should i do?

[AdamGB]

Well, you can't make your self heavier in 3-4 days... not efficient weight any way... My advice... Don't worry about it

Just means you can eat and drink the way you want to before the weigh in... a few bouts I've been stressed before after and during the weigh because I was either overweight of nearly overweight...

ive got a fight on 20th april in stockport. will it still go ahead cos ive just got a black eye in sparring this evening?

Up to the doctor he'll exam you before the fight and say ya or na.

Itll help if he "accidentilly" drops a 20 dollar bill on the floor
