I want to ask a newbie question! Can someone tell me your opinion!!!

Somehow I find that hard to believe, they don't even let elite fighters do that in the gym if it's not for a fight. Why would you go 12 rounds when you can only go 4 in the amatuers? It just does not make sense.

 

You are obviously not ready to spar 12 rounds (nothing wrong with that... only seasoned fighters that have a fight upcoming should be).

You should seriously consider leaving that gym and join another one, taking hundreds of punches flush and having the green light to go on for 12 rounds is not wise. You will end up with brain damage.

 

It was courageous from you to go 12 rounds with an experienced powerpuncher. Let it be a learning experience, you were there to be a punching bag (not good).. join another gym, you can't really set a price on health. Keep your health and bang a few more bucks on another gym, find a good trainer to take you under his wing and you will learn how to box properly.

I really hope you find another gym, go to another gym and tell your story and I hope that they wanna close up that gym you went to:good

 

Good :good
And keep us updated on your progress, I'm sure you will have good success in the amatuers if you have such stamina and a helluva chin :good

 

so let me get this straight.
you only box on the heavy and speed bag
you only run 1 to 2 hours.
you spar a guy who has 25 wins an d3 loses 22 of which is by knockout
and you did it for 12 rounds taking 100 punches to the face
no this did not happen. you just waisted your time posting ****.



what was your trainer just sitting there in the corner counting how many times you get blasted?

 

to go 12 rounds is not easy. I have been in boxing for 26 years, still training and train others. I have done 12 rounds several times and it is hard, to be honest it´s so hard that if I miss one week of training I couldn´t manage it, okay I could stand there for the last six rounds, but that wouldn´t be real 12 rounds workout and if my oponent wouldn´t let me stay there and "rest" I would be out of that ring.
I would never ever let anyone fresh or amateur go 12 rounds in that way you describe. First of all there is no reason to do it for an amateur, if you want to try it out for fun that is another reason but you should keep it at a level as light sparring, what you describe is stupidity by your trainer, if he sees what happens he should have stopped it, another man who acts stupid in this situation is the guy you sparred with, he is much more experienced than you are, he shouldn´t take liberties. He acted like a bully in my opinion. Leave that gym and find a serious one.
Best of luck.

It means you made it up.

 

I dont understand what the trainers were expecting to get from you after say the 3rd round..

By the sounds of things you were copping plenty of shots each round.

I remember the first time i sparred,they put me in with a bloke with a decent record(like 10 fights 6-7wins)...I went alright but then started taking more shots by rd 3...I was taking them fine but still my trainers had the common sense to realise this aint a championship fight and said that was enough...

After some advice and encouraging words from the trainers i had a shower and went home to fight another day...

I have been around a gym for nearly 10years and am yet to see a bloke thats never stepped in the ring, spar(and take a beating) for 12 rounds from a bloke with over 20plus wins..

This whole thread is nuts...

 

This thread smells like bull****. And if it happens to be a true bull**** story, it smells like terrible coaching.

 

Agreed, probably some Lounge Rat's alias trying to stir up the pot.

 

y the **** wud U the person with no training not be throwing punches and jsut avoiding. it shud be otehr way around wtf.

 

Ridiculous, pure bollocks. I have been in boxing 23 years and that is the biggest load of bollock I have ever read
