first fight on saturday

Oh you had it already I didn’t actually read anything except the title.

I was going to say that its not about how hard you hit but about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward...

Hands up, chin down. I find keeping my hands against my head (instead of a gap between) keeps punches from being as dramatic.

Also, try to relax ASAP. Being nervous can sap your energy, and you don't want to gas out.

Oh.. and work the body early.

My trainer told me if I hadn't went down I would have won.
The other guy was 28, a veteran kick boxer and city champion who was doing regular boxing for the first time in a fight.

Anyway I'm fine with the result because I know had I performed anywhere near my true capacities I would have won.

Thanks for the support

decide for yourself. draw against champion kickboxer in debut while disgustingly underperforming, it could have been worse.
