How do you stay motivated when you think you're going to have a fight and your opponent backs out? This has happened to me more than anyone I know. :twisted: I'm finding it really hard to stay on top and mentally focused, it's hard to get pumped up for a fight when in the back of my mind I'm always thinking....oh, well they'll cancel anyways. :roll: :fire:fire:fire
They are cancelling because they know you're working hard. Slack off, and they'll show up. Bank on it. Happens alot in life too.
A: Not allowed. B: I'm not of the same school as Pudding. Although I only have guys to spar with and they are all bigger than me, I'll be the first to admit that if I got hit by a guy my size, he's going to hit harder than a girl my size.
Show up in the gym with a cigarette hanging out of your mouth, complaining about the hangover your trying to get over. Theyll be lining up trying to fight you.
The thing is that she has twice the experience that I do and outweighed me by 10 pounds. You'd think she'd jump at the chance for an easy win.
Amy, I'm willing to bet that my whole boxing experience was worse than yours . Just ask Kolya about it. I was almost 200 pounds since I was 14 years old, and as a very young heavyweight I just couldn't get matched. I won tournaments by default. On average, I'd get about 1 fight a year, sometimes none. For this reason I'd go on spells of slacking off and missing training. It was not until I became a senior that I started getting matched relatively frequently. It was obviously very hard as a teen with lots of destractions around me to make the sacrifices required for boxing, given that I'd get no fights to show my hard work, but from about age 16 I got disciplined anyway. If I had kept stable training when I was younger than that, rather than showing up 2x a month, I'd be a lot beter now as a senior. Same goes for you. When you will get fights, you'll do beter if you had stayed focused.
