    Your country has ridiculous dimensions. I'd be south of Paris within 7.5 hours.

    yep.. have one coming up, my first one..

    started out just for the exercise, then after 3 weeks went in and joined the boxers. did 2 weeks of sparring, a broken hand, which meant i couldnt spar for 5 weeks. That was followed up by, yet another 2 weeks of sparring and again a broken hand, that took 4 weeks.. then i did another 2 weeks of sparring, and asked the trainers for a fight, they said yes, AND if that wasnt unlucky enough, 3 days prior to the fight, i got a cut while sparring, and couldnt participate..

    so right now, im 2 weeks away from my first fight, not feeling that confident, as my preparations have been less then stellar. that combined with, that i have some technical issues, such a closing my eyes and ducking/rolling to low.

    still have 2 weeks until the fight, so i have i little time to work on the issues or get injured again:lol:

    thanks,the referee was total garbage though.she kept warning me for slapping,about 5 times without taking a point,whcih i didnt think i was,at one point she had to stop it because she was trapped in a corner.he grabbed onto me i got warned for it.
    i still enjjoyed it though.
    have you had your bout yet?i bet you're dying to get in there.

    I've had more people back out than I can shake a stick at. To be honest, it's making my enthusiasm wane....rapidly. These next bouts coming up, I think will be the last straw for me if the fall through. I had about 7 bouts lined up in the beginning of October and all but one of them has fallen through. The last one we drove 4 and a half hours only to find out that she backed out. :twisted: It's getting old.

    I'm a ref and often times if it's a kid's first bout I'll give a lot of cautions for slapping without taking a point. For two reasons: 1. because most kids don't understand the rules and hand signals by their 1st fight (coach's fault) 2. Most kids slap a lot until they refine their skills a bit so when they are new I let them get away with a lot more than I let the more experienced kids get away with.

    our girls had 2 fight last season.its a shame because shes quite good.
    that was my 3rd fight and his 7th i think.plus im 20.
    if i was slapping he's just walk through them though but i was shifting this dude whenever i connected.

    Just wait until those girls are open-class, then it's 10x harder to get a bout. :mad:
