Because like I said I was content just sparring. Not being 18 anymore also means you don't have that competitive drive, I was happy just doing my thing in the gym. I did not start boxing to fight, I started boxing to control my rage. Which it did, then later my coach said why don't you fight and I thought yeah what the hell why not. I spent a lot of my time doing other things, you know, socializing with friends, working, that sort of thing. I never gave "advice" on actual fights, I gave my "opinion" (big difference) on matters I do have experience with. Like training and sparring for example. Because that was not the reason I took up boxing. But now I do, so I will in February. That's your opinion.
See, that's where you're wrong. All I wanted in the first years was to not go mental. Later, I discovered that I'm not totally terrible at it, like I thought at first. So I sparred more and more and became somewhat addicted to it. I'm a defensive boxer type of fighter, so I could do this for 5 more years and still learn enough every week to keep me satisfied. It's all about having fun for me. It's good that you want to be a great boxer, but I'm being realistic. When I started I was 28 years old, very clumsy, 183 pounds, and my head was on backwards. Now my head is clear most of the time, I'm in good shape, and can hold my ground when I spar against the guys who did have lots of fights. That in itself is more than I ever hoped to achieve, and I'm quite content with it. If it doesn't match your goals, well big ****ing deal. I'm not doing this for you anyway.
------- now your telling me you started boxing to control your rage, didnt you say ina post in this thread that you spent to much time being a sensative ***** before you started boxing. and.. boxers are people who actually fight, not bitches who train for 4 years with out having a fight. You cant call yourself a boxer because you train. If i trained with a bball team does that mean im a bball player. NO! competing makes you a player. whats your name maybe we can organise a fight. we can meet at 145.
Nope, read again. I started boxing because my father was murdered and that creates a lot of problems in your head. Problems that cause aggression, I needed a way to control that. Boxing solved that problem, and down the line I started liking it. I call myself a boxer because I box and because I will soon have my first fight. I think it would, but not a competitive player. What's your name? Since you're the e-tough man here I'm sure you don't mind telling. And why the **** exactly would I want to fight you at 145, I'll fight whoever they tell me to at 140, in February instead. Ps. I don't mind your opinion, or any criticism in general, but keep the name calling at a minimum please that does not belong here.
--------- mark johnson, cos im 150 and your 140, meet in the middle im more like 148 now we can meet at 142 now whats your name
leave RDJ alone he trains for boxing and is fighting in February so in my mind is a boxer and he is a very knowledgeable guy on training and sparring techniques and just because he has differnt goals than you dosent mean hes not a boxer all your doing is being pricks to be honest y would you challenge someone on the internet to a boxing match i fight who im told i dont make my own fights
