Here in Doucheland there's A, B, C and N class. N is true novice, less than three fights won. C is 3 to 7 fights won, B 8 to 12, and A is 13 or more fights won. The only truly open class is A, but fights between classes are occasionally happening as a so called "prestatie gevecht".
Once you've boxed in the ABA's you are considered open class. Ie you can be matched competively against anyone. For example I boxed Foster and Mathews who were number one and two in my divisions. :good
my second season was my worst too.i had my first fight of that season in the november after a badly broken arm. i won my 1st fight in the november but fought 2 nights later and was crap. i should have fought on the friday to make it 3 a in week but my arm was dead.i had my 5 more fights that season and lost them all.in fact they were that bad i can't even remember them at all.only the locations. i did weight training during the close season and the next season was my best in boxing even though i lost the 1st. keep going mate:good
I believe so- I don't think its an offical thing but when your a beginner you are matched with caution- as you progress less caution is required. You get to a stage bwhere you are capable of fighting anybody regardless of their ability. :good
i'll bet like me, you've fought somebody and only found out after that they've had loads of fights.ignorance is bliss in that case:good
He knew the winning formula and I didn't. Still rocked him a couple of times and gave it my all... What were your exp?
in my second fight i fought a lad in liverpool who was making a comeback.he was about 18 or so and had boxed at junior.i only knew this because i'd read it in the liverpool echo.he must have been 6 or 7lb lighter than me but was a good boxer.if i jabbed he threw 2 if i threw 2 jabs he threw 3.he just out worked me. i was trying to pace myself because in my 1st fight i ran out of steam in the last round.i finished the fight fairly fresh but well out boxed. did you ever know any lads from kendal abc or lancaster ??
