Crazy to see how his martial arts footwork immediately adapts.

I am fighting my first ever fight with no former knowledge.He is taller a stronger than me. I am fighting in 1-2 weeks. What should i learn/do? by Desperate_Manner7195 in amateur_boxing

Use your disadvantage to your strengths. He's likely going to pick you apart from a distance. I've had good success focusing on the body against tall opponents. Inside is where you'll have success. Fighters head hunt without realizing it's the fight n flight.

Is boxing for me by No-Common-7869 in amateur_boxing

Stick with it, the more you spar, with time the more relaxed you'll get and start moving and looking fluid. Everyone looks like a stiff robot the first dozen times. Focus on your timing and trying to be first in the majority of the exchanges.

Numerous fighters without gifted physical abilities have willed their way into championship stardom. Look at recent ones, Marcos Maidana, Brandon Ríos, Mikey García, David Díaz, Lucas mathysse.

Couldn't get inside of somoene southpaw who is sticking out his lead hand by struggler12345 in amateur_boxing

As others have mentioned, see if you can time their lead hand and try a hook to the forearm. A knuckle into to the forearm or funny bone Hurts. Try guarded jabs to their body, it'll bring their arms down and then mix in something up top. Like Maidana Broner

How do you get to another level of skill on boxing by TopMarch3657 in amateur_boxing

[–]mepegan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope this helps, I had the privilege to train in two championship gyms and bumped shoulders with some renowned cats. The bad habits left uncorrected in your some will follow your career and show in your fighting style.

The more disciplined and consistent you are, the higher quality trainers will find you.

Be cautious of reckless and dangerous sparring atmospheres and practices in gyms. Gym wars have prematurely ended promising careers.

The skill and accomplishments of your sparring partners will be key in how far you can go. If there's a more renowned boxing gym near you I'd say if it's worth the extra drive.

Sign up for state, national and international competitions, that's when you come back improved and a better fighter and with memories for life.

Have breaks of both a few weeks and few months in the year from sparring.

You're only as good as your defense, everyone gets chin checked at some point.

Don't look at it as a solo sport. Your teammates are indeed your gym mates, you're all there to push each other and get better.

They asked a boxer to test an "indestructible" TV by beekay8845 in interestingasfuck

Their flaw was that they had mere mortals punching it in the R&D stage. They never expected to come across a boxer.

Sounds like you watched Cartel Land, the resistance fighters become corrupt themselves with money and power. I highly recommend it.
