Your Boxing record?

yep thats what they did. i weighed in and 10 minutes later i was in the ring.

 

thought so

 

bloody hell,thats quick,i used to have to wait for the schoolboys and juniors to box beore the seniors went on.

 

Between weigh in and fight were about 45 minutes in my case, as it was the first fight on the card.

 

1-5

 

as i said above,it used to be schoolboys then juniors and there was an(sometimes) interval and probably a raffle (in the working mens clubs) and then us seniors.could be a couple of hours.

 

Terrible isn't it! I was a heavyweight to make it worse, so always at the end of the program! And I hated watching bouts before mine came on, so I was always sitting in the stuffy changing room listening to the raffles announcements from behind the door! My record was arriving at the venue at 5pm after a two hour drive, weighing in, then the show got delayed and started at 8.30, and I ended up entering the ring at five past midnight, by which time most of the crowd had gone home! To make it worse, I got so hungry I went over and had an oily kebab at the local kebab shop down the road from the venue, which made me sick when he threw his first body punch!

 

I'm a light welter and there were no juniors.

 

all the times i boxed or went to watch my mates box i never saw an all-heavyweight fight.the only time there was a heavy boxing,he got KO'd by a light-heavy.

 

Im 17 yrs old, fought at 164 . . but I havent boxed since september =X going to get back into it.

I was 1 - 1 against the same guy. . The first fight everyone said I got robbed; got a rematch. . and well =]

Golden Gloves '10!

 

Do you mean heavy or superheavy? There is a reasonable number of guys at heavy, but obviously a lot less than at middleweight. With superheavies its more tough. A mate of mine is a genuine superheavy, very tall powerful guy, and he doesn't get that many opponents. It gets even tougher for the big boys when they get good. I've also seen very few all-superheavy matches, maybe two or so, but its fun to watch the crowd reaction to when two massive guys are making their way to the ring. Unfortunatly, at the club level the match is usually pretty **** - losts of wrestling and shoving and few accurate punches. It's different when you get to watch international matches.

 

oh, and you see very few light heavy vs. heavy matches these days. Coaches aren't too willing to take a big weight difference, in fact, they get paranoid and pull their guys out when its 3-4 kilos, let alone 10! To be fair, its best for people's health anyway!

 

****, they require I think at least 2 hours between weigh in and fights starting here in the US, to give guys a chance to rehydrate.

 

17-10

 

I think it's 18-10 now Aim.
