sweeeet! never done it before but cant wait!i'll only be training for now though! but its still gonna kick ass! anyone here box?
 
i started a few months ago, but then the gym got rid of the guy i was doing it with, bastards, it was heaps of fun tho, gets you hella fit and its mad.
 
I did a toughman contest once. I didn't have any boxing experience, I just signed up and jumped in the ring. Things got ugly. I'm just lucky the other guy couldn't hit too hard.
 
felix trinidad fight on tomorrow night. the biggest fight ever in the history of boxing. im gonna be there of course. you watch it on tv if you know whats good for you.
 
at the last trinidad fight the puerto rican crowd in madison square garden booed during the singing of the american national anthem. now his current opponent bernard hopkins has thrown the puerto rican flag on the ground on a few occasions and has said shit to piss off puerto ricans. the fight was originally scheduled for september 15 and was delayed due to the shit. at that time i would have guaranteed the crowd would again boo the national anthem. i wonder if they would do it now. my guess is that they will but i hope they arent stupid enough to do so. i was pissed off last time and so were many others. im sure this time even more would be pissed if they boo.
 
THAT IS AWESOME!!!
I boxed for 4 years. I was in 3 diffrent Golden Glove events. I injured both knees racing enduro motorcycle events.. so no more boxing... but I love to hear when people get into what I like to call the BEST sport!!!!! well hockey is up there too!!!!
Kick ASS bro... remember to keep your head... and think of it as a video game..... that will help you!!! Good Luck!!! Keep me posted!!!!

i just got back and i think i fell in love...... all i did today was lay into the heavy bag for 2 hours. he tough me a few basic combo's. i go back monday
 
:p :p :p I am jealous!!!! How old are you? I am 27... I can still hit the bag.. but defensive blocking is too hard on the knees... duck and dodge.... that is the best lesson you will learn. I trained at Busco in Atlanta... where do you train??
 
i'm only 18, the place i train at is only a small church owned building, the they let ppl box for free. there is a small group of us that go before the place opens and train for about 2 hours, the coach seems to be pretty good, he's old though, but some of the guys said he fought in a couple championships in his day. sof ar 1 dude i met is pro and one other is an amateur still but is turning pro after a couple more fights.... is it monday yet? :D
 
boxing is one hell of a sport!!been boxing for about 3 years..get ready to be sore for about 2 weeks..by the way where ya live and what weight class ya in??
 
You gonna start boxin eh?
well, you let me know if you ever need any help with something. I sparred backyard since i was in 6th grade. A piece of advice, when you start fighting, NEVER EVER, underestimate the true accuracy, power, and effectiveness of the jab. It is the best punch in your arsenal. Keep to basics until you know your good. when you know your good quit boxing, because it's shortly after you know your good that you get fucked up.
 
heh my fav combo i know so far is the jab jab hook. lol

do lefties have some sort of advantage? i am left handed and he said he loves getting lefties?
 
Most are right handed which would actually be a disadvantage. You will be swinging with the right and they will be swinging left, You will have to become an exceptional boxer if you plan to survive. You will be at high risk of a double k.o. , but don't worry, you can sneak in a few if you open with your left and stand right handed style. If he see's talent in you, I doubt it will be long before your in the ring.


better combo:
left jab, left jab, right body, left hook.
Killer even for a righty like me.

A trick to getting good at boxing is gaining an arsenal. Yes at first stick to basics, but as you progress extend your variety with skill. when you see a left hook coming duck into a right body, and a left uppercut. never do the same thing twice unless you plan to do something different the third time.

someone said that the jab is the best in your arsenal. Take that to heart. Let me tell you why. Think of the jab as a stun shot... you hit 3 jabs with alt. hands and in most cases you have a good open attack for a cross or a hook. Do not use uppercuts to start. Make sure your shots connect before you do. Another piece of good advice would be.. never draw back. It will come on instinct.. but try not to. Just concentrate on your jabs. All other combos surround the jab. Just some words of advice. Another word of advice... body shots will take more out of you that head shots. This may sound like horse-shit to someone who has never boxed... but it is true. So make sure you can block. Not getting hit is as important as hitting ... if you want to go the distance. Your stamina is key when you are starting out. So IF you smoke ciggarettes I suggest you stop ASAP!!!!
Good Luck.. and keep me posted! I wish I was in Ohio.. I would help to train you in as much as I could... but I don't. Bushco is where alot of good fighters from Atlanta trained.. so I know what I learned came from the best. Listen to what your coach tells you and remember to keep up your guard.. and keep moving. Wear them out.. then go in.... but jab first.

Keep me posted!!!

GOOD!!! but you gotta keep me posted!! I think I may get into coaching. I want to keep boxing.. but I am getting old and I know I would be slow as hell. I can still whip ass on someone who never boxed before... but... I wish I could still do it. Just keep me posted on how you are doing.. I like to hear about it.

boxing is god's sport. the only one true sport. everything else is just a game.
Wrestling is up there too. Not WWF but I also wrestled in HS... that was cool.
 
we got a group of guys that get a little inebreated and box here at our apt. complex--its pretty kick ass.

It was all started by the movie fight club.
 
throw a few beers in the mix and it sounds like somthing that could get out of hand pretty fast!!!! But fun to watch!!!
