    1.i was fighting 3 years training all me life tho

    2.5 am won 4 lost 1 n i got robbed in that 1

    3.yes but i beat the kid who got to the semis of the abas

    4.i was injured for every tournament i could fight in in my 3 year thats the main reason i stopped

    5.the worst ive faced was a 1-2 the best 11-1
    thats records doesnt really suggest quality but it was right in this case
    i get very good sparring as we have to internationals around my weight , i give them a tough spar but they mostly get the better of them

    6.i train 6 days a week all year round

    Boxed when I was a teenager for a few of years, stopped due to my parents not wanting to me to fight due to a friend of there's suffereing brain injuries from boxing.

    I was a flyweight and only had 15 fights, 12 wins 3 losses. Still do some of the training to keep fit. Occaissonally go into a proper gym but always get to tempted to spar so don't go often.

    Update... I fought an exhibition yesterday. If it was scored I would have lost, I wasn't active enough. But I knew that in advance, the other guy had a lot of experience, and this was just to get used to the public and all the other things like warming up in the hallway etc.

    I learned that my pace needs to be higher for Olympic style boxing, less power more punches. I wasn't nervous but the crowd got on my mind anyway, I completely forgot about my game plan and was mindlessly chasing him, I was too eager. Learned a lot, next time will be serious. I want my first fight as soon as possible, it will probably be in september.

    Nice feeling to fight eh? Dunno if it is the same for everyone but I get a huge rush after fighting, I would imagine what doing a drug might be like.

    Focus is such an easy thing to lose. My first few santioned fights were in Casinos and it was dark, but with nice lighting so focus was easy...hit the dude all lit up in front of you!

    Then I had a fight after those where I was hurt going in, so that was on my mind...and the place was small in comparison and lit up very bright. I swear could hear what people were saying as was fighting and it was a total mind fook.

    Congrats on your first fight.

    Way to go, RDJ. I'm the same way. I get really jacked off of adrenaline and endorphins and coming down off the fight, and I'm really talkative and in a good mood usually; it means that the crowd is shocked when they talk to me how nice I am. :lol: But yeah mate; focus on your output and keeping a nice, high and tight guard to pick off more shots while letting your hands go more. Maybe more volume and when you get inside, then whip some hard ones around so he can feel your power.
