A break of 10-11 months and I'm all....

you assume to much. it sounds like the opposite to ego. he might just lack the confidence to restart over thinking all the work in the past was for nothing.. im sure when he first started boxing he did not bust out the womb like a prime mike tyson, im sure he took his beatings and learnt from them and got to where he was.

if he has done it before why could he not do it again? why did his ego not get in the way last time ?

 

Um, exactly. The point I'm trying to get across is stop whining here and get on with it.

 

yes but he clearly wants to know if anyone else has had a similar experience. maybe he is not sure if its natural to lose THAT MUCH.

 

It doesn't matter how much, the only way to overcome such a loss is to get back to training your arse off. The other option of course is to quit.

Why can't people just train hard these days, they always need reassurance from someone else before they even try. All this guy needs to do is train yet he wants to know how he can "cope" after his year break. It's sad.

 

atleast he trained in the first place? why do you get so cut up over it.. i just watched a young 17 year old prodigy at my gym get beaten in his first fight. and i think it was because he had a crowd and especially his family watching on... i knew it was my job to pump up his tyres and insist he come the following week to hand my ass another beating and get his confidence back

we are all human sometimes you need support... id highly doubt if anyone has been in the fight game for long and not had a "is this really worth it" moment

 

Cut up over it? Not at all. I'm stating what I'm seeing.

The posts on this forum are pathetic. "I've taken a year off and now I suck. How can I cope?!" "I'm 21 years old. Am I too old to box?" "I lost my first fight and now I want to quit. What should I do?!". All seen regularly, all pathetic. Every single one the answer is simple - grow a pair and train. If you truly loved the sport (which all claim they do) quitting wouldn't enter your mind.

This generation is turning into a bunch of kids that need support and reassurance before they try anything in life. It's sad.

 

Virus these guys are a joke i agree.. they need constant validation... must not have been hugged enough as a child or something

Must be kids from the everyone gets a trophy generation
