    the conditioning you have done on your own and boxing conditioning is a whole different ball game, and what difference does it make whether its UK or USA?

    again, not the same thing, your friend can't make you spar 1 more round after you have just went all out for 4 rounds, your friend can't force you to do double unders with a jump rope on the last minute of the 6th round of jumping rope like a good coach can.

    I'm in the army, and in the BEST WEEK I can train 4 times.
    In the normal week, 2 or 3 times.
    This week, for example, from Monday the 4th till Wednesday the 20th, I can go about 5 times.

    Train WHENEVER YOU CAN, every day pal. I have the same goal, 2012 Olympics. Would be a dream.

    I have to agree with what the "*****" said. So many people gave up on something because they set goals too high.

    First, try to survive a round of sparring with an experienced opponent. Then try to do it 4 rounds. Then try to win your first fight. Then you first tournament. Etc etc.

    It's nice to have ambitions, but how motivated is someone going to be when he's tired after climbing 4 stairs while his first goal is Mount Everest?

    Thank you, finally! Setting small goals and achieving them is what gives you that confidence to push to the next level. Setting your sights too high too soon is only going to be met with disappointment since there are no rewards along the way.

    I thought you said in the favourite combination thread you had knocked out heaps of people with a jab, over hand right combination. Are you a **** talker...
