Thanks I train at the GP Boxing gym, its been off and on the last few years with college but when Im finished or whenever I get a slack semester I'll be getting a few fights. I want to win the bronze, silver and golden gloves out here and go to (and win) provincials. Im undefeated so far (....no fights :tong). etc?? Im a pressure fighter/boxer...meaning Im more of an agressive boxer but I can and do like to fight on the inside sometimes when theyre more slick than I am. What about you? where do you train / ambition / record / style/ etc?
I train in the Netherlands, my record is 0-1 (Amateur) thanks to a close loss. Next match is next Saturday so I hope that's 1-1 soon. My ambition is to have at least a few more fights before they force me to quit (I'm a late starter, 33 years old now). Style is boxer, normally very jab happy but that's in sparring so we'll see if I can take that into the actual fight.
Best of luck with that, you certainly put the sparring in so Im sure you'll do fine. Im an exercise physiology student so if you have any questions about training for anything just let me know. Theres a masters division btw so you'll still be able to continue boxing but I bet thered be alot fewer opponents to choose from.

This was done in my resistance training lab. 2:30PM 200 Resisted Jabs (strong band) 50 Jabs 200 Resisted Crosses (strong band) 50 Crosses 6PM 4x3 shadowboxing 4 rounds of: (no rest) 20 kneeling rollouts 20 standing band twists per side -Boxing gym isnt open and neither is the gymnasium (basketball game) so no jumping rope.

Pretty much everybody that could spar left after just 1 round. But the handpads were good and the trainer used the body shield with it so I could work some bodyshots.

So to save this guy (hes got heart I'll give him that) I stepped in to spar. So thhe 30:00 was light with lots of short breaks, defense drills, counters, etc and I coached him and tried to teach him a few things. Tosh wants a really good sparring partner that can kick his ass so Im asking a pro mma fighter thats in my anatomy & resistance training classes to come spar him, hopefully hes got good stand up since Tosh is the best in the gym. It'll be cool if it happens.

Yeesh, this log is sad. Ive been out of boxing (again) but Im starting back up today. Reason is I was training for free before, kinda coasting on the fact I helped fix up the gym and **** but I had to open my big mouth to someone with a bigger mouth and POOF no more free training cuz she went and whined. However, I just got my student bursary so Im going back and I'll pay my dues. So heres what I've been doing lately. Figured I may as well include it. 22ND 12PM 5 Dumbell Snatches Per Arm 50lbs 5 Dumbell Swings Per Arm 50lbs 10 Burpees x4 Rounds (1:00 Rest) -Heart Rate after the final round was 192ish, my time was 10:27. I was bloated from the pizza I had for "Lunch" (breakfast) and the supper before that so it was pretty bad. My hip flexors, adductors, hamstrings, and glutes are all kinda sore (hip flexors mostly). I was supposed to do 5 rounds but I was so bloated I think I was going to lose some of that pizza I ate earlier if I continued. I'm going for a long walk soon and I'll be doing the following later. 6PM 3x5 Standing Rollout Partials 25TH 4PM Tabata Burpees Tabata Dumbell High Knees/Sprint in place -My roommate joined in but only worked during the rest portions since he hasn't exercised for a long time. 26TH 11PM 5x1:00 Rowing Machine Intervals (1:00 90%, 1:00 60%) 10x:30 Rowing Machine Intervals 30 100%, :30 60%) 10x:15 Rowing Machine Intervals 15 100%, :60%) 5:00 Cool down on treadmill at 3.2 mph -All the intervals and the cool down where done back to back without rest. This was fasted too, I just couldnt get out of bed soon enough for class, curse the man who invented the snooze button. 28TH 10PM Health Test in the lab -Tested tricep pushups, partial curl ups, back extensions, sit and reach, grip and verticle jump. I got in the highest ranking in everything except the sit and reach and back extension (it wasn't set up right, I could have gotten to excellet pretty easily but I didnt want to push it too hard and not be able to train tomorrow) which was in the fair category, I knew my flexibility wasnt the best anyhow. 29TH 3PM 5:00 warm up 10:00 mile pace treadmill 1:00 treadmill intervals at 6:00 mile pace 1:00 treadmill intervals at 10:00 mile pace x8 -My heart rate at the end of it was 174
TUESDAY 1.5 mile run (12:00) 1 hour basketball -I had intended on running more but I saw a buddy playing basketball so I joined in, we got a game of kings court going, I won :good .

WEDNESDAY 10:00 jump rope 5 rounds shadowboxing 3 easy rounds heavybag 1 round heavybag 4 rounds double end bag 3 rounds shadowboxing 2x12 pullups (light sets) 2 rounds holding pads 2x2:00 rounds abs -I was going easy on the heavybag cuz I sprained my pinky badly not long ago, in fact even when I shadowbox I get a lil twinge of pain here & there. When I held the pads I only used the 1 hand cuz Im seing how my finger will feel tomorrow. TODAYS EATS (1 line=1 meal) Bowl of cereal, 2 caps extreme lean (trying it out cuz I packed on a few lbs since starting college) 2 pork chops, 1 cup sunny D 1 cup cottage cheese, 2 caps extreme lean G3 sport drink (@ the gym, 30 cals) 1 scoop whey, multi vites 1 good plate of chinese food (yeah its not the best but I didnt want to cook and neither did my woman lol)
