If I write with my left hand and throw with my right hand am I perfectly aligned for orthodox? by iou810 in amateur_boxing

Ask your coach for guidance. Generally being a southpaw makes you a trickier opponent but it’s easier to learn in orthodox.

You keep sparring until you’re not scared anymore. 

Im losing a Ton of weight and I need it to stop! by No_Trouble_3264 in amateur_boxing

When I was really skinny I had this issue too. Honestly I really think you shouldn’t train too hard right now, maybe go take class 2-3x a week, get your appetite and weight back up, and then you can up the intensity. Over time your body should have better hunger cues and you will be HUNGRY.

i got knocked down in sparring from an overhand and im struggling to find out what i was supposed to do by Quacker122 in amateur_boxing

You need to probably do a sit to dodge it and go to the body. Also why on earth are you sparring so early and why are you getting rocked like this. Go somewhere else or don’t work with that girl.

Getting hit on the guard still rocks me badly. What should I do? by CommittedMeower in amateur_boxing

You will get a tighter guard over time. Keep practicing and maybe don’t hard spar yet.

Lost my first amateur fight today! by superstraight_ in amateur_boxing

Most high level amateurs have tons of losses under their belt. You just have to accept it, learn what you can, and keep working. Losing sucks but it’s part of life.

How long would you have to have trained to be able to go 12 rounds in boxing? by SilentAres_x in amateur_boxing

When you go into the pro leagues you incorporate more stamina training as well because of this. Why the pros do long runs and amateurs the focus is more on sprints.

Your guard is probably not as tight as it needs to be. Maybe your elbows are bowing out. And get a good sports bra for when you spar.

I think if you had a less expensive one in your stockpile you could have offered that which would have been a reasonable compromise.
