    When you moved from a junior to a senior, what was the biggest differences you noticed? And how did you cope?

    Strength is a big factor. As a kid you would meet a lot of guys who didn't have the capability to chin you- once you get to 17 plus you find that the majority have a fair pop. Also fighters start to take more of an interest in general fitness leading to improved perfromance. This is where you make it, or not.

    I thought they would be the main factors. In the gym I am constantly sparring older and bigger guys and these are the two things that hit me (literally).

    I've boxed 3x2s for 2 years now, as a Youth I will box 4x2s in Championships and can box 3x3's as a senior. I think these both will suit me better.

    Depending on what weight you fight at, there's a reasonable chance u could get knocked out, where as as at school boy, youth level there is next to no chance of this happening.

    The guys are fitter, but not remarkably so.


    A part from that - I think more skill is involved and fighters start to think a lot more where as at schoolboy/level alot of fights are won purely on talent.
