I was stunned in sparring and dropped by a body shot .Neither felt good ..The body shot was worse because it was a delayed reaction ..
Been stunned plenty of times, dropped a few times in sparring, always balance stuff except once on a bodyshot. I like knocking someone out though, you can see their eyes fade away, I consider it a flash of what dying eyes look like.
I guess I set that line up, I just like boxing and im sadistic when fighting, like vitali is as well. Dont want innocent people to die though:yep The eyes in your avatar are serial killer eyes.
Amazing how many iron chinned postersvare on here. I have had 78 amateur fights and was never down. I had 9 pro fights and got ktfo badly. The first shot was an ear shot and threw off my equilibrium. The 2nd shot was a temple shot and my eyes glazed over and everything got blurry. I went down from s 3rd shot to the chin. My legs would not respond and I couldn't beat the count. I'm glad I couldn't because because the guy hit so hard I thought he broke my forearm from blocked shots. This same guy fought for the middleweight title and was ktfo. If you fight long enough you will get ktfo
When I sparred as a featherweight I only got stopped by another featherweight because I didn't pace myself and I gassed out so the veteran fighter schooled me and pummeled me. Felt helpless. The other time I sparred 2 heavyweights outweighed me by at least 50 the first one almost stopped with a shot to my plexus, I automatically folded felt like the worst cramp ever, but I miraculously pulled through and stopped him in the 3rd. I barely beat that dude I wanted to take my gloves off trainer wouldn't let me they throw in a bigger heavyweight. I was wasted lasted 2 rounds just remember being against the ropes and guy catches me with a decapitating uppercut. Everything just blacked out your vision is impaired, ringing in ears, and trouble standing up you get those jelly legs. I was never floored, but I learned defense and pacing were just as important as speed or power. Was out on my feet basically.
Been rocked many times but after putting my chin down the punches didn't really hurt. After some time you get used to it but I just felt so vulnerable the first few times. Later I showboated a little and . Look forward to boxing again soon ima fighter by blood! Only time I was really hurt was to the body and immediately jumped up(very amateurish thing to do I know I was green) and my legs almost went but I moved around, covered up and fought off the ropes though I missed. Real slickster I was fighting.
Anyone ever fought a guy you couldn't hit flush to the chin? One of the most frustrating moments of my life lol. I just worked the jab to the body but man, hard not to lose focus during that.
ive never been down. im quite proud of that. one time this kid hit me on the top of the head with his thumb and it felt like i was floating. we had just begun sparring so i was cold. it wasnt even a hard punch. very strange feeling. my legs didnt buckle or anything but i felt very strange. it was like being in a dream. this other time i was sparring with a russian kid who couldnt box for ****. i was hitting him at will. he would just put his head down and come forward. it was so easy to hit him! anyways, the guys face was all red and i could clearly see that he was getting angry. i got too close to him and my guard was too high. he hit me with a bone crunching right hook. close to the armpit. it didnt even hurt that much. i couldnt breathe for like 5 seconds, but i didnt go down or anything. it didnt hurt at all and we finished sparring. two hours later i couldnt even lay down. he had broken two of my ribs. a week later, i went back to the gym and boxed with another guy. he hit me in the broken ribs and i swear to god ive never felt so much pain in my life. ive never been stabbed before but that's what it must feel like. it hurt so much that i had to stop. i went to the doctor's and he told me that two of my ribs were broken. that **** was messed up.
I was not trained by Norman Stone. The other guy was. I was asked when I was 13 by Ruiz stepfather to train me, but my stepfather said no thinking I would end up a bully. I learned years later in NJ and then moved back to Boston and trained in Somerville where Stone has his gym. Yes, he trained a lot of amatuers and he did not act up like he did on HBO. For all I know, it could have just been an act. I wish I would have learned at 13. I was told I had a lot of potential, but it was too late. Just like many out there you and others know that throw away talent.
