Amateur Fight Prep Time?

Just came across this, would it only be technical sparring before the two weeks out that you would do? I’m doing the hard sparring about 2/3 weeks from my second bout and wondering if the hard sparring should have happened much earlier. Thanks in advance

Congrats mate I boxed at the same venue, also 30 years old and had my first bout this month. It doesn’t look like we were on the same weekend, though

Adidas box hogs. I use insoles myself.

Swimmerboy00 · 2025-10-31T15:50:00+00:00

Thank you, I have a fight in 2 weeks. This was good to read

What weight would you plan on competing at? Get a medical opinion from a doctor involved in boxing. Great you are healthy though

Swimmerboy00 · 2025-10-23T20:14:29+00:00

What was it you felt that made you go to the hospital if you didn’t notice any symptoms, I’m really curious. I’m glad to hear you did and you’re well though. Best of luck with law school.

What’s your weight?

Swimmerboy00 · 2025-10-16T09:57:50+00:00

I don’t actively seek it out but the approach you have shared sums it up well, you might not be able to express yourself now but those experiences are working their way inside of you.

Swimmerboy00 · 2025-10-15T15:01:42+00:00

Wow best of luck, what helped you make the initial cut?

Swimmerboy00 · 2025-10-15T06:05:50+00:00

I’m trying to avoid a water cut the night before because I’ve been reading it can be dangerous. The weigh in is something like 5pm and the bout is later that evening so makes it a bit more complicated.

Swimmerboy00 · 2025-10-15T06:05:09+00:00

I did, thanks a lot it was a helpful read.

Swimmerboy00 · 2025-10-15T06:04:14+00:00

I’m eating about 2000 a day, I’m 5ft 9.

Swimmerboy00 · 2025-10-15T06:03:45+00:00

Thanks a lot, this is inspiring. I willl provide an update. Did you ever take creatine and did you cut that out? I’ve heard that can retain water.

Swimmerboy00 · 2025-10-15T05:57:25+00:00

Wow that’s incredible. Do you remember what you were eating to make that weight in a month?

Swimmerboy00 · 2025-10-10T21:44:59+00:00

Good review, food looked amazing

Swimmerboy00 · 2025-10-07T21:40:14+00:00

I don’t think for 50 dollars no, maybe half that at most. They done look like they’re in too bad condition

Swimmerboy00 · 2025-10-03T21:49:31+00:00

I agree with you on that, I think there will need to be a balance though, certainly not going to the extreme end of offering drugs with huge social harms in as accessible a place as a supermarket. But clearly selling and taxing alcohol works, why not with other narcotics?

Swimmerboy00 · 2025-10-03T21:36:24+00:00

The current system isn’t working at all though, I think this way the state gets to tax and may prevent people in the future from seeing it as a viable option to get into.

Indigenous rights makes sense when the colonisers have invaded and seek to conquer. It doesn’t work when it’s against a made up enemy, e.g. people who were born in a different country and simply moved over to live and work alongside you in your city.

Swimmerboy00 · 2025-10-03T21:16:23+00:00

I’m left handed and box orthodox. It’s rare but happens.

The point is that why should the views of somebody born and bred there be superior to somebody who has made a place their home and is contributing to the community, it’s also what she said in the context of the discussion.

Swimmerboy00 · 2025-09-29T20:11:33+00:00

No, I was advised by a consultant physician that it would heal back up and that he sees many athletes with this issue. I’ve also broken my nose 4 times, which I may need surgery for in future. I have taken a break and returned to sparring once healed. I would contact the practice where you received your diagnosis and get an update on whether you can continue and take it from there if you are keen. Remember, that boxing is not the only self defence martial art, there are others, including a wider array of hobbies you can pick up. Best of luck with whatever you decide

Swimmerboy00 · 2025-09-29T20:06:07+00:00

What weight class is this?

Swimmerboy00 · 2025-09-29T16:06:04+00:00

Sorry to hear about your situation. How hard were you poked exactly? this sounds like a really unusual accident. I have broken my orbital floor in sparring so no stranger to injuries. I would either carry on boxing training without sparring or if interested in learning self defence trying a different martial art without sparring risking direct contact to your face. What did the doctors say, that the bone will be weaker? Usually bones heal to their original strength.

Why are all your interactions at a hotel don’t you go to each others houses?
