I'm a pro boxer; any questions about pro boxing let me know?

[scrap]

While on the subject, in the 70s, I took some Boxers from the inner City. All with decent Boxing Ability, at the the time, too Meditation Classes. Everybody Laughed at this at the time. Six continued doing Meditation, at the end of the season, those who carried on doing it, became Champions at the end of the year, I wonder.

Actually there doesn't seem to be any negative side to meditation.

Just wanted to hear your opinion on meditation.

Sorry for hijacking your thread BB.

Go for it buddy very interesting reading

Do you wish you did anything different (trained harder etc) and do you have any more goals Jeff?

Just educated myself properly when I was young. Taken responsibility for my own learning.. I'd also say I wish I'd not wasted time with unproductive people.

Just coaching people mate... I want to make a champion from start to finish. From first time in the gym to winning and defending titles. No one I know looks at boxing the way I do. I just want to get busy - got some good lads and the lads I'm involved with have won 80% of their fights but I want more...

I know this question is very individual but I'll ask anyway

Let's say you are training a lad who has decided he wants to to pro, what experience, achievements, years training ect would you like or expect him to have before you 'support' his decision?

If I'd trained someone and knew that they would be safe being a pro then I would encourage it. Some people simply aren't good/tough enough

But safety is paramount

Two questions.

1) how important would you say a trainer is? When i started boxing i had i wouldnt say bad trainers but not great trainers and lost most of my fights. How much should i blame them and how much should i say was just me?

2) would having a high amount of losses ( was 2-8 in my 1st 10) on my record make it stupid for me to turn pro even if i win the aba's later in my career? (was due to be in the aba this years but injured myself in dec)

Would you say you have to be tough as an amateur and how good is good enough to be a pro?

[ChechenGirlific]

What is your name , and do you have videos on youtube with images of your matches or trainings ?

1) addressed this earlier

2) it's not how you start, it's how you finish

Yes you have to be fairly tough to be a good amateur but its more about speed and athleticism then pro boxing.

Good enough to be pro... Is someone who knows the basics properly.
