    It can be very good that you got those nerves. You realise what job you have to do. It makes you keep focus and get your ass together.

    Usually the nerves gradually becomes less with each fight.

    John Scully said it best:

    "The wait in the dressing room before a Boxing match — that last hour — would be enough to strip a Man that never Boxed before of whatever Pride, Desire and Heart he THOUGHT he had."

    Yeah it gets easier the more fights you have mate, until it gets to be just another fight, but your always gonna be nervous beforehand. which is good, a fear of losing is what keeps most of us on the ball aint it.

    thats my fear aswell..Im not worried about getting hit or anything like that. I fear losing. As long as you know on fight day your there to fight, dont let nerves take over.

    yeah its normal.i get nervous b4 fights.you will more than likely always get nervous b4 each fight but as you gain experience and get more fghts you should be less nervous.nerves are good though it means your focused.
