Please the answer this question honestly.

if you do the graft in the gym and dedicate your time to boxing you have to just give your head a shake take your losses as lessons and go back out and fight because that is what you're doing all the hard work in the gym for! the hardest thing for a fresh amateur is the build up to a fight and the things that run through your mind. i know how you feel we're all human. your mates no your a fighter and you dont want them thinking your ****. but you gotta block that out because they aint doin it and you are. make sure you do plenty of sparing with loads of different people and other clubs if you can so you can put your mind at ease for fighting the unexpected. loosing a few fights hear and their can be a good thing if your strong enough mentally to except and learn then improve.

 

Ahh, I see. That's a good point. How many fights do you have?

 

mate if you dont feel upto fight, make a decision and stand by it. Remember the ideals of being a fighter and thats taking up challenges requiring adversity but at the end of the day if you arn't up to the fight its okay and its your decision.

Most of the fight is preperation, you have to be prepared for the fight. Theres not much heroics in beating someone if you havent trained well. (not imo)

If you do take the fight and beat him you will have more self esteem and confidence as a fighter i can guarantee that much.

 

Boxing records are a fabrication, a lie. Go for it - learn and return. Challenge yourself and gradually step up your opposition

 

I lost my first 6 fights in a row and had to tell my mates every time that I'd lost. At 14, they all ripped the **** out of me (I was 14....no pedo). I kept stepping up the opposition and began getting a few wins in, now I've won my last four. Knowing what it feels like to be the guy who has to tell his mates he lost makes being the guy who tells them he won a lot more pleasurable.
