How many fights have u had??

i've boxed before. You are not in a position to tell me what i should do. I'm hearing you, but you aren't hearing me. i've taken yours and many others opinions into consideration and i have made a decision. in my opinion, a talented individual does not need amateur experience to become a great boxer. you are stating your position, but you are not arguing it effectively. That does nothing for me.

another great argument.

 

Ok, let me try again. Do you have any sanctioned boxing experience. As in, putting on the competition gloves, and walking into the ring and feeling the nerves and anxiousness of being in front of a crowd about to compete? Because it's a whole different game than sparring; and if anything you should have a few amateur fights just to learn how to deal with the nerves and be calm and apply your style in the ring, because the first few amateur fights are usually hyper aggressive and no technique anyway.

 

I'm pretty sure that they don't take backyard boxing in to account when making matches in the professional ranks.

 

well, like i said, i'll use my first few professional fights to get used to it. sure, maybe i'm going to end up getting in the ring with someone who is more experienced, but experience is not everything. all things being equal, of course the more experienced guy has the better chance of winning with the less/no experience guy having a punches chance.

My argument is that my physical gifts will at least balance things out between me and an experienced boxer. this period of time will be my studying time. as it goes on, i get better, and then step up. i am going to have more fights at the club level before i step up than an experienced amateur. that is if i win and feel i am capable. if not, then whatever. but i feel like i could learn a lot in the pro game just as i can in the amateur game.

 

amy you are pretty.

 

i am in no place to talk about(just joined boxin gym last week) but just being nosy, how are you so sure your more gifted then an experienced amateur?

i agree that you can learn as much or even more in the pro game but you get injured alot easier because less protection...

 

great power and decent speed for my size. a decent workrate (45 punches per round) sturdy chin. i'm going to outweigh most of my opponents. the thing that worried me about taht was i thought surely i would be giving up speed and stamina, but i know how to control myself now and i can go a good number of rounds. this is the reason i am confident.

 

How do you know you have a "sturdy" chin if you've never been corked before in a match though? And in a 4 round fight you don't really want to be controlling yourself and pacing yourself, because you run out of time quick. And 45 punches a round is decent, but it's not that special; the heavyweight at my gym puts out probably close to double that in 2 minutes.

 

well, i'm just going off of the fact that i have a big neck and traps. and
that kid threw more punches than pbf and ricky hatton combined tonight if so.

 

The problem with that is - compared to who? You might think you're something special at your gym, but in the real world, you're nothing.

 

i compare myself to most professionals.

 

You've been sparring with professional boxers?

 

yeah look at Kostya and Lacy. Both of their pro careers are cut short because they spent so much time as amatures.
