anyhow 5 years later I boxed again...and this time it was series of close loses....I fought at super heavy...which was stupid on my part...I am 5"9..i had added some muscle..but at that point 178 would have been the biggest I should have been. First fight I honestly feel I won, it was a Golden Gloves fight out in Pittsburgh. Next fight was against a guy way bigger than me, 6"5 280..not even that fat for that size...and I lost that I didnt try to move enough on him....I tried to bob and weave and come in aggressive..he would end up getting his hands on my shoulders and shoving me back...and than hitting me as he charged me down..i think the fight was semi close..but I lost that fair and square. Third fight at super heavy was against a guy whos nickname in the west pa area was white tyson, and he actually looked more like a white tyson than the pro version....he was on a 10 fight win streak...and i fought him..only fight i was ever stopped in....I guess i was concussed..eyes where fluttering around in my head..he hit me with a jumping head butt a bit before the stopage, and I think that was it..and I can say he was starting to get tired..having said that...I was straight up getting my ass kicked..and had already had a point pulled for excessive holding.

This year i was down to 200 pounds..was going to hit 178 and try fighting again..than my dad died and i stopped giving a shit...right now im fat..just recently decided i am going to try to get back into shape..

I help train at the boxing gym..and have been sparring their..i am going to start trying to actually work out as well...its m w f....and i work out with the mma team on tuesday and thursday.

My best boxing really has been in sparring...sparred a few pros but no one anyone on here would know....Weldon Branche, Tommy Wilt, Andres Taylor....

5'9.... no wonder you talk like you're a big man (Napoleon complex). Oh wait you just got down to 200 pounds, you are a big FAT man
Also there is no 160 pound division in the amateurs.. whoops

They'll be clouded by YOUR LIES (and of course your previous videos that were nothing but a waste of time)

Start out by posting that serious sparring video.

I fought at middleweight dumb shit..i weighted about 160 for my first few fights. I killed myself to make 154 for my 4th fight...which i lost..if you weigh 160 you fight at middleweight dumb fuck....so you can fight a guy who has 5 pounds on you. however, in Pennsylvania at least...if both fighters agree they will often left you fight with a big weight difference...they do that even more now because less guys are boxing so its harder to make fights.

You said you killed yourself to make 160
Why would you do that when you have 5 pounds to play with?

Johnstown and mrtony80 both exposed as internet forum imagination boxers in the same thread, I've enjoyed it.

I killed myself to get down below 160

i was 160 for the first 3 fights..than i killed myself to try to drop 6 more pounds....hence "below 160"

Not bad. Having my coffee before I get ready for squats.

Not in the lounge much with the training I am doing but I am certainly enjoying MrUglyasdogshitx80 get exposed for the piece of shit that he is.

BTW, I suspect dealt_with is lefty and if memory serves me correctly he did fight at a good amateur level. That and apart from being an asshole sometimes, he does know his stuff.

I don't remember a lefty....


lol yeah he does, I would disagree though with his assertion that larger muscles do not use up more oxygen, that flies in the face of basic biology not to mention sports science. He also keeps wanting to engage me in rough play homosexual wrestling (similar to the ultimate surrender porn series)

[BUMPY KNUCKLES]

Lefty was a douche, he did know a thing or two but he was to much of a twat, I'd sooner take advice from virus, puma or jdsm.

[dealt_with]

Johnstown, that's that projecting I was talking about earlier.. I've never said anything even vaguely homosexual and yet that's all you want to talk about. I guess if I was 5'9 and weighed 235 pounds I'd probably have a go at anything that even slightly resembles a living, breathing creature as well.

[mrtony80]

More drama. Can we end this shit, please?

[Melchior]

Lefty was fucking knowledgeable, and took his time answering questions with long posts.

Sure he had an douche attitude at times at times, but who cares? As long as I get good sound advice I can live with being called dumb.

Shieeeeet, what have I just seen??
