    Yeah, I dont think our gym had too many girls in the past, so they probably didnt understand the conduct policies too well. Does your boxing gym have alot of girls?

    Sorry to hear that, you must be pretty tough, I'm sure the guys in your gym acted like the ones in my old gym, always making off comments and what not.

    When after warming up, all of us are puting on the hand wraps and some ass thinking he is Mike Tyson goes berserk on the bag hitting it like a mother while we are all calmly wraping our hands, i think he want's to intimidate us.

    Another one. When some guys start pulling some muay thai **** on a bag in a boxing gym.

    lol that sucks, but that was pretty funny :p.

    machinebus: I had a guy like that, except he was actually really good at the sport. He was always overlypositive in the **** he said and did though. He would get a rush from EVERYTHING, it didn't matter if was just an everyday activity like a round on the mitts.

    That sounds arousing. :oops: Or maybe I've just been spending too much time in my room doing some pre exam cramming, and haven't been out enough :nut

    Oh, and there was this moron I knew vaguely who liked to think he was a ninja and hit a heavy bag with a stick.

    Not if you seen her, she looked more manly than most of the guys in our gym, Laila Ali she was not.

    I never seen a guy hit the bag with a stick, thats grounds for being thrown out. Most of the weird **** I seen was at the fittness gym, there is always a guy there punching blindly into the bag, usually badly arced hooks, if you want to call them that, some of these guys had a worse than Zelenoff did when he missed his punch and got laid out by the heavybag.:yep

    my friend jokingly does a taekwon-do double fist strike (throwing 2 straights in at the same time to the cheek) bag for just shits and giggles.

    a few weeks later 2 kids are practicing it on the bag. we later got told that they had used it in a am bout....and wer not penilised for it....i think my man has reated a new technique.

    there was one guy who was trying to learn how to clinch...we made a GIF. of it he looked like what you used to do for your school play when you had to hug someone...bent over to keep privates as far away from each other as possible....he looked like he was going down i swear.

    i have to admit somthign as well...jabs and crosses were the same thing to me.so i used to stand in a southpaw position but wiht my hands in a orthy position...i didnt do bad with such awful technique as the jab was actually harder and reached further than cross....anyways guy throws a right hand left hook...could never get out of the way of it becuase i was turning my body round to much.

    theres loads of things i can think of. the main joke are based on the people who have self confidence in there skills thinking they know whats what...but to anyone with knowledge know they are going to get sparked.

    mike tyson wannabes

    chavs not knowing that sparring is completly unconfrontational

    runners who think or describe themselfs as 'boxers'...or pure boxers if they know the lingo

    charlie zelenoff syndrome or dangerous syndrome.

    MMA guys who build there mucles up and become huge....but are 5'6 and wiegh 180 pounds

    people who 'practice' overhand rights on to heavybags.

    people who bomb speed bags.

    groups or teams in boxing. the ones who joined together. i dunno it just tickles me as you can get some plums doing there boxing imressions and others who actually want to become a good fighter but have a lower congidence than there alpha male friend. somthign i love about boxing is the differnt personalityies you can have and them all being of the same standard.

    Here is are some funny ones, although these are things I've seen before matches.

    -A kid (bout 13 or 14) was weighing in, stepped on the scales and was a like a 100 grams over. His furious coach runs up to him and says "you tool!" reaches down into the kids boxers and pulls out two socks that he had stuffed down there!

    -This guy I used to box with had a bout lined up. He was actually bloody good and a real talent, but he was a bit of a nutter, but while he was a decent bloke, his brother was an absolute psycho. Anyway, him and his brother are in the changing room, and his brother says, "I've got a good idea...let's find your opponent and... INTIMIDATE HIM!"

    So they search around the other changing room until they find the guy he's supposed to fight. Both walk up to him, and the guy, on instructions from his brother, pulls his shirt off (and he had a mini-Tyson type body) and says "come on, your best punch, throw your best body shot and I bet it aint ****!" The other guy (who was more of a lanky type guy) stares at him for a moment, and then suddenly digs down and hammers in a vicious left hook to the body (no glove on) and this guy goes down like a sack of ****, while his brother stares in amazement. He gets up half double over and says "Ok, fine. Now it's my turn." The other guy just looks at him, grins and says "that wasn't part of the agreement, and walks off. It had the people watching the whole thing in stiches. Despite this, mr. 'punch me' did win the match by stoppage.

    Best gym stories on here I heard so far, the trainer pulling the tube socks out of the dudes pants was pretty funny, that would be extremely embarassing.

    The guy asking dude to punch him in the stomach is pretty good as well, I could see that one happening.:good

    Probably people on a 'tightly strung' floor to ceiling (you know what i mean.. yea?).. hitting it as hard as they can, inevitably wearing one back from the floor to ceiling when they leave their head where it can get hit.. as opposed to moving it.

    Dud fighters who come to the gym after somehow managing to win a fight.. and bringing an entourage with them like theyve just relieved the Pretty Boy of his WBA.

    People who stand around scratching their nuts until a certain song comes on (things like 'Survivor', 'Shadow Boxer' by an Australian band, George Thoroughgood, etc.) and then are drawn to the mirrors and shadowbox like superstars while the song is on.

    The young add kids annoy me a lot, more than most things probably...

    And I don't know if anyone else has this, but the new(er) person that comes in and spars and gets knocked down from shots that couldn't hurt a 4 year old just to get some attention.
