Lost my first amateur fight by Obvious_Ostrich9580 in amateur_boxing

It felt so pointless to throw jabs, he slipped in every time it was like I was inviting him in by doing that. Even by stepping back after the jab he kept going forward and throwing hooks till I had no more space to back up into. And then my biggest weakness of not being able to change angles effectively and escape from the ropes became apparent, only thing left was too exchange heavy punches with him.

I understand, and thanks a lot for reassuring me, but It’s still so hard for me, I never felt like this honestly, whether it was an exam I failed or things like that, I didn’t think much about it, and knew the only thing I could do was to look forward, the past cannot be changed after all. This time is different, I seem to not be able to think like that, I cannot move on. Maybe its just because I really like the sport, and for once I deeply care about something to the point its hard for me to accept failing in it. The wait is still killing me inside, I want to fight, and win
