    Too much JD. Jack is no longer my friend :lol:

    I done alright tho, started with a $100 and ended with 425 so cnt complain. Rolling in at half 4 with a greasy burger, some hooker flyers and a rap CD which I bought off a random black guy all points to a good night :lol:

    There's nothing wrong IMO if someone follows boxing but has never done it, I just thought **** it, let's have it and see how I cope!

    Good thread Avid.

    When you walk in you can smell the sweat, hear the skipping ropes hit off the floor gradually getting into a rhythmic sound, the sight of punchbag's going back and forth and side to side. Look up into ring as see two guys landing leather on each other. Blood stains around the gym. On shorts and tops and on canvas.

    You walk in thinking you can reel back the years and within one minute you soon feel like your 11 again. The ropes hitting your toes, the bag doesn't move, punches don't feel right. You can't land 4 punch rapid combo's on heavybag without needing to stop drop hands and suck some air in. No matter how much you try to do a Carl Froch your kidding no one. You go onto pads, your big moment to show your skills and first jab falls short.

    Then the trainers ups the work rate as the round goes on. Some punches land and some cuff the pads. Then your trying to look out of corner of eye to see time and then you hear the whole gym speed up with 10 seconds to go and trainer demands 10 punches flat out. The last 3 seconds are murder....your muscles crying, mouth gasping for h20....then you think to self ''Don't think i could do this for a living''......

    Put's how hard this sport is and how good pro's are into perspective.

    Did a bit when I was a young teen, started up again 6 months ago doing an hour and a half on tuesdays and thursdays.

    I love it.

    (I'm 28 next month, for the record, so a bit late for being too serious about it)
