What was your first fight like?

I had mine a few weeks ago. It was kind of a blur, to be honest, but a really good time and I can't wait to do it again.

Watching the video later, I see that the only reason I lost was I wasn't throwing enough punches. I landed a higher percentage but the other girl was far more active. She had fought before and had a better idea of what to expect, I think. I was a little too defensive. She didn't even hit that hard. It wasn't like I was going to get hurt.

One thing I was not prepared for was the crowd's reactions. Every time one of us landed something good they'd all go "oooooooh." It was distracting. I wanted to yell back at them "I didn't even feel that one! Settle down!" Next time I'll be a little better at shutting out the background noise.

With Golden Gloves in full swing here (which I deemed myself not ready for this year) I probably won't fight again until spring, but I'm pretty sure I know what I need to do to win.
