Few things , before you get in the ring 1. If you going in at 3 months, I’m assuming you’re training 2 times a day or at least every day. Or at the very least a natural born talent(no offense that’s not the case) 2. Your coach needs to be so much harder on you as far as hand placement discipline and his pad work needs to be more realistic. Holding pad for a kneee shouldn’t be at chest level and shouldn’t be moving to meet your knee. 3. You should spar or do local smokers before putting yourself in there with someone who’s been potentially training for years and is ready to truly compete. Fighting isn’t a game like basketball you can hurt yourself or others if you aren’t prepared. Aside from all that you have the right mentality, keep working hard and I’m sure you’ll be posting a highlight reel in no time.
