My first fight...should I continue?

How much do you weigh, first off; where do you live?

 

Did you enjoy fighting? Thats really what it comes down to, no one really LIKES getting punched in the face, just certain people will take it to box, and others dont care about boxing enough to get punched, and go home with a headache everyday..

 

If not, its still a great workout and will help you live a healthy lifestyle, and lets be honest, you probably wont have to worry about streetfights, even if you arent the best in the ring, most people arent used to getting hit in the jaw.

 

I think everyone has those thoughts with competing; especially with all the nervous and anxiety that also goes into it; because unlike any other sport, there's no team there to support you-it's you, and you alone, and the very nature of boxing makes it intimidating. I would say just keep working out, stay in shape, and see what happens; you may miss it.

 

Whats the word you all? I have not posted in a while... Jam, I have simialar thoughts. Got serious about boxing about the same time you did. Was going to fight last month but had to take some time off for a few months, so I could not train enough. Now I'm back into and not sure I still want to take the next step.. You should just do whats right for you, keep training and stay in shape. Just see how you feel over time. Some of the guys I trained with who did not take time off are about to have their first fights and Im bummed and want to be in the same boat... Just feel so far behind after 2 months away.. Anyway hope everyone is good in here. Good luck Jam..

 

It takes a man to admit to losing.

Should you continue? Only you can answer that, my friend.

Good luck.

 

just continue training!!!
after a I while you may want to get back in the ring.

I lost my first 2 fights and both times I was very disappointed that I lost, but 2 weeks ago I won my third fight. The greatest felling ever!!!!!!!

 

Doesn't matter if you are boxing or playing chess, one man wins the other loses. That is the nature of competition. There are many factors that go into winning a boxing match, not the least of which is correcting the flaws in your style. Was that straight-right you caught avoidable? If you leave yourself open you will get hit. After you get hit you will find it difficult to win fights. At your level, you should be spending most of your time learning good defense. Good defense doesn't always get you the win, but at least you won't get your head punched in.

 

Two solid posts MM.

 

If you really don't like the fighting itself, then it best to just keep up boxing as a hobby. If the only part of boxing you like are training and sparring, then only train and spar. You don't necessarily need to compete to be a boxer.

 

I bet if u had one your fight u would have also enjoyed the post fight as wel as the pre fight. there for maybe u shoud continue.
