When can you expect your first bout

when you fight for the first time most fighters will get matched with another young inexperience fighter making his debut also.... i guess you guys havent seen too many novices fights, but i have and not many look like real boxers and must look like street fighters the first couple of fights...with the exception of a few prodigies a year of training wont change that... you need to get into the ring to learn and get experience you wont get that in the gym where you are comfortable with no pressure and sparring people you already know

why you think that even experience amateur fighters when they sign professional their promoters try to put them in the ring every three to four weeks to get experience and some of those young pros have over 100 amateur fights...

but they need to be in the ring fighting every month to get better and learn the pro game and is the same with amateur boxing when you start out you need to fight regularly not wait a ****ing year... unless you are scared and dont want to fight

Maybe they only had 2 months of training:good

I would take a guy with a years worth of sparring against a guy who has been training two months and had a couple of fights every time all other things been even.

The only thing you learn by competing that early is how to get punched in the head repeatedly.

 

so you'll find a guy with years worth of sparring but no fights at all.. lol ok a guy that spends years of training and doesnt fight is a guy that is scared to fight... he's called a gym warrior but when the time comes he never goes to the weight ins to fight so i'll take the guy with heart

:hat

 

So say your guy has 6 fights over his first year of training. And a guy from another gym has trained for a year, and then had 6 fights through his second year of training. On paper these guys are an even match up and thats how novice fights are matched. Your guy would get his ass handed to him however big his heart is. The experience you gain from a fight after a few months training is far less than after a year or so of training.

To the op - no harm in training for a year or so before you fight attall! Will depend on how often your training aswell. Make sure your ready and put on a good show for your first fight. For my first fight I fought a guy who had already had 3 fights (2-1-0) and he had 6 kg on me (i came in under weight but took the fight anyway). I lost the fight, but gave him a good run for his money and got some real good feedback from some of the coach's there. Would have got destroyed if I'd been in that fight after a few months training instead of 8.

 

lol so my guy has six fights his first year and your six through two years.. how the **** you figure that my guy will get his ass kicked, first of all six fights in one year is too dam little i'll have him at ten or 12 easily by his first year and up in the 20s by his second year.. im not wasting my time with boxers that are scared, you train you fight that's how is done

:hat

 

2 clones train like I previously stated and the one who has been training longer will win no doubt about it.

What's the point of putting people in the ring who cant punch properly and have **** footwork. It makes for crap am shows if there full of boxers that have only been training a couple of months.

Anyway thats how you do it so all good. Done alot differently where I'm from.

 

ohhhhh, really?

 

the one that has more experience in the ring will win not the one that just hangs out in the gym but is too scared to start his career

:hat

 

They both have the same experience, only 1 of the guys gained the experience after having learnt the fundamentals. The other guy gained the experience in the early stages of training. Do you see where I'm coming from?

I think your making an assumption that all people who don't fight within the first few months of training are too scared to fight? Nothing wrong, imo, to training for 6-12 months before fighting. The likely hood is you'll get matched up with someone with similar training, or you could get matched up with someone whos only trained for a couple of months and look really good againct him.

 

if it takes a year for you to learn then you are a dumb mofo it doesnt take that long and if you just waiting to get better i think the nerves are getting to you.. a ****ing year in the gym training and no fights.. lol that's too damn long i would kick you out of my gym wasting equipment and time but dont want to fight

:hat

 

You talk as if your a coach? If that's the case you have got a **** attitude for one. Wouldn't wanna be trained by you, sounds like you've only got time for the talented guys. What do you do with the 'dumb mofo's'? After a few months ban them from training cos there dumb in your eyes?

 

I happen to disagree with you. Although I do hate coaches that only teach "talented" guys, you do have to be pretty dumb to not know enough to fight within a year, especially with some of the crap amateur fighters out there nowadays.

Can't wait to get my first bout (or first training session, haha).

 

Just out of interest, how do you know this? I only ask since you said you cant wait for your first training session.

I don't think what your saying is necessarily wrong, but I don't think there's anything wrong in waiting until your absolutely ready. If that takes a year then so what. Were not all talented from the off, and just because someone doesn't appear to have the natural talent to go far in the sport, doesn't mean that person shouldn't give it a shot! We can't all be champions, but we can definitely all have fun training and fighting.

 

No one with any sense would want to train in a gym ran by a clueless **** who can teach them all they know about boxing in two months, you would be doing them a favor kicking them out.

Six months is the average in my experience and that is just about right for most people. It takes that long just to get an average novice physically prepared let alone teach them how to actually box.
