    No, thinking about starting training as a fitness thing, but no ambitions to fight or anything. Not aggro enough for it.

    hahahha, never a truer word spoken. The old head and tricks can only get me so far! i still sometimes spar when we are low on partners for some of the guys, and when I do, I can expect to be eating soup through a straw for dinner......no lie.

    I am an AM, but I have only spared and am working on my first fight. I did have a gym fight once which was pretty cool. A three round thing with a guy who was four inches taller than me but only five pounds heavyier. it was a cool back and forth fight that the trainers thought i won. It was so cool because sometimes when i go to the gym people will still talk about it.

    i've sparred and had a couple of fights with amateur level..but that was before college, after college i'm gonna go at it again. I love boxing:happy


    i might even try entering pro after college just for the sake of fighting. I'll be about 24 or 25 yrs old by then, currently 22

    Have trained in boxing gym and was told I had exceptional hand speed and reflexes and a quick learner, problem is have worn glasses since age seven. I have sparred without them and have considered wearing lenses in the ring but was told this was not a good idea.

    I was in an amatuer boxing club when I was a kid. However, I was REALLY into wrestling, so I was never in the club year around.

    Thanks for sharing that :good It takes guts to go into a ring knowing you're most likely going to re injure the same ****ing thing over and over and over. It's tough to live like that expecially if you know there is a limit to how far you can go in boxing. Good job though man :good
