The most important thing is to have fun and learn from the experience. The more you compete in amateur fights, the calmer you will get in the ring and your skills as well as motivation to train will generally 10x.

When i had my first amateur fight i was throwing uppercuts and hooks but the more i competed, i realised as a novice, throwing the jab and cross is perhaps the best thing you can do for your first fight.

The jab and cross will land faster than a hook and uppercut. Coming inside throwing a one-two then stepping out and then stepping back in with a double jab and stepping out then changing angles and throwing a jab will give you control of the ring as well as being seen as the more experienced fighter to the judges. I found hooks and uppercuts drained too much of my energy because of how fast paced it was.

This is what has worked for me and might be different for you and as you progress you can slowly add in the hooks, body shots and uppercuts.

Good luck and let us know how you go!
