How long had you been training before your first amatuer fight?

18 months. First round KO win. Featherweight.

 

About a year. Heavyweight (was 16 years old). Lost on points.

 

Just under a year, was 15 and I fought at 165 which I lost by points. Have fought four times since then at 154 and have won every single one, two by stoppage.

 

5.5 months. 160lbs. 1st round RSC. The video is on here in the thread stickied at the top of the page if anyone wants to watch.

 

7 months 2005 {14 years old} Heavyweight well fit and ripped weighin 202 Won by UD,hurt my opponent a couple of times,and Buckled his knees and couldve Took him out,But i was so nervous being my first fight,all i wanted to do was fight very smart and just outbox him taking no risks at all.....I sure wasnt generous wit my second opponent though..lol

 

202 at 14 years old? wow
how tall are u and what %bf

 

trained for about 5 weeks, twice a week, sparred 15 rounds, very little bag work , very little pad work, no running pretty much done nothing, and of course i lost

 

Why did your trainer even let you compete no offence. That is dangerous, did it put you off or have you stuck with it and thought again?

 

he has 3500 posts...i think he stuck with it

 

Some trainers are ****ing idiots.

 

cant really blame my trainer at the time he is a close friend and at the time he was pretty laid back, the club i was in at the time was small and was not serious at all, this training went on for my first 3 fights and needless to say i was 0 and 3, i actually remember my 3rd fight i drank 12 cans on the thursday night and fought sat around 8 pm, i was young and thought id be sweet come fight time, i nearly stopped the guy in the first and couldnt breathe for the rest of the fight and got battered, and to think i thought i was a man at the age of 16atsch,now i use this experience i had to advise the younger guys in the club of what to do and not to do

 

this was nearly ten years ago and yeah it did put me off because i had 3 bouts and didnt return to the ring till i was 18, guess my coach thought i would be ok as i was fighting a fellow novice, im glad it happened tbh wouldnt be the person or fighter i am today had it not happened

 

About 18months lost first round stoppage. Our coach was the ref and put me in against someone 2-0 with 2 rscs in first round. He stopped it too early imo. But it was bull**** I was even against him. 6 months later and no more fights
