Reason why you guys box

i've think i got an anger problem, been through a lot of bull****, and boxing helps me channel all of this energy in a (+) positive way.

 

You used to be a comedian?

 

A bunch of different reasons all combined. I lived in a barrio and a boxing gym was very close to our trailerpark. I had been in so many fights in school I had to do a semester in reform school. I had low self esteem, my brothers and sisters were more or less street kids and petty criminals. My dad had been a boxer and he trained me little bit before he disappeared. A cop got me interested in the PAL. I had nowhere else to go.

 

I just got tired of team sports.

I was the Captain of my football team, played offense and defense and we went 2-9.atsch

My AAA hockey team lost in the first round of the OMHA's even though I scored 6 goals in 4 games.

Then I got pissed off and decided to do an individual sport.

 

yup and coming from a comedian. ur jokes suck get new ones.:good

 

Man, younghypnotiq got you. Redeem yourself joe.

 

Because boxing had the physical punch of other sports I've been into (rowing, running, and a little weight lifting) combined with the strategic thinking of some other things I enjoy (fencing, chess). It keeps my mind and my body engaged all the time, and I like that. Plus, being kind of a small guy but strong for my size, the strict weight classes of boxing let me excel with my natural characteristics.

 

I like fighting....:!:

 

I'm a violent guy at heart, I'm just too nice and calm to let it out in a more inconvenient setting. I love the feeling of power over another guy.

The feeling of fighting another guy, knowing it's you or them, giving it all you've got, is the best high I feel I will ever get, gotta have that killer instinct.
Man, that's some ****!

I also feel I'm a bit of a throwback, old-school kinda guy - no pain, no gain, a lot of men these days are pussies, I like getting through difficult ****, toughing things out, and all that gear. I'm in the army, and hate people complaining about hardships here. People need to balls-up. ***** ***** ***** etc.

Really, though? You'd only ever know that in the gym.
I'm a nice, intelligent, funny guy! Woo.

 

Yeah, I'm the same in the fact that if you meet me in real life, you would never guess that I boxed, or was the kind of guy who would.
Little do they know that I have had more fights then them and all there friends and there friends friends put together lol.

 

My reasons from most important to least:

1. Just like it.
2. Learning to fight.
3. Being someone, building character.
4. Having $uccess(not counting on it though)
5. Fitness

 

i loved watching it, and i love everything about it. The toughness of boxers, the hard work, one on one competition....i miss it a lot.

Its you and the other guy...thats it...using your hands to hit each other...nothing is better than that.

 

As long as he doesn't jump me with his gang of wily 15-year olds, I'm fine. With tough muthas like Sammy da Murdera and Jermaine "Ass-raper" Johnson, who were no doubt forged under the hot coals of adversity, I know the average joe doesn't have a chance.

 

I love the adversity, the hard side, the one-on-one competition, the rush of success of a successful evasion/counterpunch.

"Fight club" makes a lot of sense to me. Boxing is real and genuine, compared to all the seemingly important, but actually meaningless **** going on in most peoples lives.

Adrenaline and testosterone are kick-ass hormones.

oh, and its ok to see ones abs even at 33

 

the main thing for me was fitness... i started out at 6'2 240 lbs... i was down to 210 lbs, but after a 2 week vacation, im up 2 220 again(ill work it off soon)... the competition is great for me, i love to compete but was never any good in anything else ive tried. Also, even tho im a bug guy, i dont like starting fights much, so i get picked on a lot. Telling people i box gets me a lot of respect, not to mention it makes me a littel bit intimidating. Last but not least, a challenge. If it wasnt for boxing, id being sitting on a couch every night getting fatter than learning valuable skills and getting into shape. it was just what i needed, and is only gonna get better. As soon as i get down to at most 199, im supposed to be getting my first fight.
