has anyone got any fights coming up

[GPater11093]

im just wondering

i have 2 fights coming up

firstly
scottish youth novice championship @ 54kg

secondly
northern district scotland youth 6-10 fight championship @54kg

the reason why im fighting novice then 6-10 is that i have had 5 fights and the scottish will probably put me to 7 fights

[Kolya]

Yeah, on December 13th I should.

[TheRock49]

I got a simple amateur fight in Feb of 2009 at a expo center... no 'Scotland Championships' or anything fancy...

[GPater11093]

lol

well there isnt alot of normal fights at this time in scotland

i think the last one till febuary was last week and i had to pull out through the flu

[light-welter]

Scottish youth novice aswell, at 64kg.

[RDJ]

Dutch northern district championship - novice - 63.5 kg / 140 pound next February. It'll be my first fight, I only had an exhibition so far.

[evalistinho]

If everything goes well i should be having a fight the saturday before christmas.

[avk47]

:good What club you up against?

[RDJ]

:good What club you up against?

No idea, isn't that announced short beforehand :?

[amy]

Working on getting one on Dec. 13th as well. *fingers crossed*

[Youngblood]

Good Luck on your fights!

Me, no. I'm gonna eat cheetos, drink cream sodas, watch tv and get fat for a change of pace.

After Christmas will start heating er back up tho.

[znaak]

I don't know of any right now, except a fight in late January. Sadly. But all in all it's been a good year with almost 20 fights.

[amy]

Good Luck on your fights!

Me, no. I'm gonna eat cheetos, drink cream sodas, watch tv and get fat for a change of pace.

I'm willing to bet that only lasts about 4 days and you're back in the gym.

[GPater11093]

light-welter this sound stupid but what year are you fighting for in the scottish novices

[boxingtactics07]

my kid and/or fiancee, every day. sometimes i win.

[Aplin]

I fight on average once a month Muay Thai / K-1 / Kickboxing or whatever... Never boxing or anything.

Keeps me sharp... I had to pull out of a fight on December 6th because I got a cracked rib, but fighting January 29th and February 22nd

[avk47]

No idea, isn't that announced short beforehand :?

Didn't notice it was in february. Closer to the date its sometimes posted up on Boksen.nl. I know when I boxed in District Zuid they had it on from like a week or so before.

[RDJ]

We'll see, it doesn't really matter anyway unless it's someone from Frisia (our competing gym in Leeuwarden).

[light-welter]

light-welter this sound stupid but what year are you fighting for in the scottish novices

Nah, people from my club were though. Howcome?

[SeanDoc]

[xoum]

[GPater11093]

[amy]

I swear I'm never getting another fight. :(

[TheRock49]

Little more than a month for me! Question. I've only fought in Milwaukee, Im living in North Carolina now. Will the amateur scene be any different?

[amy]

Probably not.

[znaak]

Finally gotten an opponent for my fight on January 24. Will be meeting a Swede in 81kg. :yep
Yesterday he pulled out of the fight. He said it was "too far" to travel. :lol:

Anyway, just got a new one. I think he's a bit lighter than me, but who cares...

Will be leaving in an hour. Can't wait!

[GPater11093]

good luck man tell us the result

i hatew it when that happens i always have to fight bigger guys

[amy]

Too far my ass. :lol:

Good luck!

[TheRock49]

I just got a date last night. March 14th. Its some statewide tournament in North Carolina that my new trainer wants me to go to. Then she wants to me to do some Azelia festival fight on April 4th.

[GPater11093]

good luck

it will get rid of your ring rust

[znaak]

Just got home from the "fight". What a big disappointment. The new guy who stepped in traveled all the way from Gothenburg to Kristiansand. At least 9 hours with car. When I got there I heard he didn't want to fight me after all. He just wanted an exhibition. Then they checked my record book and just shook their heads. No exhibition either. :patsch Damn cowards.

Well, at least I got some TV-time and I got the newspaper folks to write in the paper that I badly needed sponsors. :huh

[TheRock49]

good luck

Thanks bro. Yea, it'll be two year in March since I had my last fight, and my first in elite, so hopefully I wont choke...

Boxing matchmaking was always was a mess for some reason. I just don't get it: coaches ask the record of the boxer upfront, from dealing with the other boxer's coach, so unless his coach lies about the boxer's record, then why bother going all the way to a venue, when you think the guy is too experienced. :patsch On the other hand, sometimes coaches do lie about their lad, and expect that if somebody has travelled a long time they'll take a fight anyway. I once had a match agreed at 91-kg, and I was 86kg. I weighed in, and then the opponent came and weighed in at 109kg. My coach didn't want me to give 23kg of weight so he pulled me out, and that guy's coach was furious.

I really miss boxing, but I definitly dont miss all that matchmaking stuff!

Yeah, you're absolutely right. It does ruin the sport of boxing.
I think the guy who fixed me the fight must've lied about my record. You can't trust anyone. But when he traveled all that way, we could at least had some sparring.

[GPater11093]

my trainer is old school he lets us fight anyone.

but at competitons and that we arent the most liked clubbecause th old trainer said he would kill the head boy for our area

[znaak]

I don't think that's very smart. It's boxing. You could get injured.

[Power]

i wanna be fighting in feb training started this week cant wait!
been training since 16 (im 23) and learnt of my granddad.
been playing rugby as well so didnt really get chance to have a fight but this year im dedicated to it and can not wait!
roll on the valentines day massacare lol!

[GPater11093]

I don't think that's very smart. It's boxing. You could get injured.


my trainer knows we can handle our selves. He also is a good corneer man and would stop the fight if he needed to. Anyway its all learning


also power im boxing on valentines day to at the northern scottish district championships @57kg 1993

[amy]

He could have at least sparred. What was his experience? ERG! I feel your frustration 100% I've had that happen so many time. :fire

[Aplin]

I'm fighting for an area title on February 28th, seems ages away, but I am hoping it goes quick :)

[znaak]

He could have at least sparred. What was his experience? ERG! I feel your frustration 100% I've had that happen so many time. :fire
He had 33 fights aganist my 51. He weighed in at 72kgs and I was 76,5kgs (long time since I've been that low!). Edit: He also was the current Swedish junior Champ and had some RSC's.

I've fought guys with 100-150 fights and guys who were 8kgs heavier than me.

As you said, we could at least sparred.

[znaak]

my trainer knows we can handle our selves. He also is a good corneer man and would stop the fight if he needed to. Anyway its all learning
Good that he stops the fight if it's necessary, but it must feel awful for the boxer to lose that way. Maybe you'll learn something, but hey...

[Youngblood]

National championship end of next month.

After that local show looking like April. Another fight in May, maybe even 2 then and who knows what else. Spose depends on what happens next month.

After going thru a spell of having fights fall apart on me (yes it sux bad!), I've been on a good run and they've been holding up...so, hoping that keeps up.

[znaak]

What country do you live in?

[Youngblood]

What country do you live in?

Canada.

[Youngblood]

Noticed you typed in stuff as I was. I am surprised also they didn't have an exhibition atleast for you, and him. Is easy enough to set the ref. up for a quick stoppage if too lopsided. Maybe the fighter didn't want it?

[znaak]

I see. Good luck! :good

How many fights have you had?

They tried to talk the opponent over, but he simply didn't want to. They said it would be light contact and all, but no. Wimp.

[Youngblood]

Thanks, good luck to you also. :)

Not that many 7 (should be 9 now), after being stripped of 2 fights and basically being accused of padding my record by fighting two people older then me by 5+ years if that makes any sense at all (well Boxing Ontario wouldn't count them) with not much experience to get enough to get upgraded to Open Class...after winning provincial championship. Ended up having to redo one of them and travelling my ass off to get enough at the time for upgrade ( then five) to get to an Open championship and to be eligible for nationals. It was a bit of a mess. That make any sense? lol

I'm 14 years old btw.

[Youngblood]

Well it barely makes sense when I reread it. Short of it is...they wouldn't count 2 fights due to age difference (boxing canada) for upgrade and they wanted my fights in Canada, both of those were in the USA. So 2 santioned fights on the card got turned into exhibitions.

I am Open Class now thru upgrade and have fought already as such and will be at nationals.

[GPater11093]

Good that he stops the fight if it's necessary, but it must feel awful for the boxer to lose that way. Maybe you'll learn something, but hey...


hes never stopped any fight but he says he will give us a round and he will and he means what he says

we learn alot through fighting

[amy]

He had 33 fights aganist my 51. He weighed in at 72kgs and I was 76,5kgs (long time since I've been that low!). Edit: He also was the current Swedish junior Champ and had some RSC's.

That's ridiculous. How much more evenly matched can it get really? :-(

Them stripping those two fights doesn't really make any sense at all. :lol: You're still only 14, so 7 fights are pretty good, I must say!

[znaak]

That's ridiculous. How much more evenly matched can it get really? :-(
Even more depressing was that he already had taken on his trunks, shoes and bandages. I was so psyched to get into the ring, I stayed up all night when I got home. The training up to the fight was perfect. Fucking "Swede".

[amy]

I don't get it. Who does he think is going to be at European Championships? And who were his 33 fights against? What a wuss.

[znaak]

He's done pretty good. His only problem must be his fear. I desperately need to fight soon. I feel so filled with shit in my head because of that wanker.

[amy]

Ha well...I know it sounds retarded, and likely should have just said 7 and left it at that.

Not sure if you know how upgrades work, but you need to fill out a form and have a letter explaining why and have no losses, and send in a copy of your book, with fights they can check out before they will upgrade you to open prior to having 10 or 11 or w/e it is.


Basically, they sent it back and said 2 fights they weren't accepting in it even though they were the people who wanted me upgraded to open. So i had to go find one more fight to make it legit in their minds...and it had to be in our province where they govern (and win it).

When all is said and done...I think it may have been a mistake upgrading. As it now appears harder for me to find fights then if I was still novice, because of my fighting size (6'1 70-75kg) and age.

Weird system. We don't have anything like it in Norway. And you're big for your age. Wow.

[znaak]

If your coach will fly me to Norway I'll fight you. :D :bbb
Damn! If you pay, then alright. :yep

I remember hearing a story. Maybe about 10-15 years ago Norway met Team USA up in Raufoss (about 2 hours drive from Oslo), very small town. All the Norwegians got beaten badly, except Anders Styve in 63,5kgs or 67kgs (not sure what weight at the time) who fought the last and final fight. The American thought he was going to get an easy fight like all the others, but he was wrong. Very wrong. :yep Styve kicked his ass real bad. :cool:

Styve was one of the best boxers in the world who never made it in the big championships, like the Worlds and Euros. In the Olympic Qualifier he lost with one or two points to Oleg Saitov in Moscow... In sparring he shut close Felix Sturm's eyes. He also overwhelmed and knocked down Mikkel Kessler on a training camp, and was sent home.

No, your coach would need to pay. And it might not be a good fight; but you'd get some good roadwork in chasing me down. :lol:

[znaak]

I'll ask him. If it's OK we will never be able to pay for anything else in the future. It would be my last fight. :( But you're so damn big. Just hold out your arm or something. :rofl

[Kolya]

Don't worry znaak, he gasses half way through the second. :bart

What was it you called your style in the Euro forum? A trainwreck about to happen or something like that? :lol:

[znaak]

Hahaha. Omfg... :rofl

[avk47]

Hahaha. Omfg... :rofl

On the other hand, it's probably pretty dangerous to stand in the way of a trainwreck so...

[znaak]

A trainwreck with long monkey arms. I don't wanna be in there.

[Kolya]

A trainwreck with long monkey arms. I don't wanna be in there.


Unfortunately, I don't have long monkey arms. My reach is normal for my height, not too insane. My younger brother is shorter than me and has longer arms. :lol:

[znaak]

Yeah, but they're pretty long anyway. Haha.

[Kolya]

Yeah, but they're pretty long anyway. Haha.


Only to short people like you. :D

[znaak]

I'm bigger than most at middleweight. :cool: 186 or 187cm.

[Kolya]

I'm bigger than most at middleweight. :cool: 186 or 187cm.


That's normal height for a middleweight in the US, mate. :D

[znaak]

That's normal height for a middleweight in the US, mate. :D
No way! :lol: About 188cm is normal for light heavyweight as far as I know...

[RDJ]

Get a room you two :D

[znaak]

Haha. How's the preparation's going? Any nervous about the fight?

[Kolya]

Get a room you two :D


Get to the gym you fuckin' slacker.

[RDJ]

Haha. How's the preparation's going? Any nervous about the fight?

I had other things on my mind the past week or so, so it hasn't been going well. January is always a fucked up month for me. But I'm back on track now.

Stay strong man. I've only experience distractions for personal reasons once and I was fucking shit, and for reasons no where near as meaningful as yours. Good to hear you're back on track. :thumbsup

[RDJ]

Get to the gym you fuckin' slacker.

Yeah I know. It's not like I haven't been doing anything, but my mind was elsewhere. I had zero motivation for anything, not boxing, not hanging out with friends, just nothing. More and more I'm getting the idea that leaving this country behind would be best in the long run.

[znaak]

I had other things on my mind the past week or so, so it hasn't been going well. January is always a fucked up month for me. But I'm back on track now.
I understand you. When was the fight again?

[RDJ]

I understand you. When was the fight again?

Not sure, within a few weeks. Fucking up this close to a fight was not what I had in mind. I only missed about a week but it feels very shitty.

[Kolya]

Not sure, within a few weeks. Fucking up this close to a fight was not what I had in mind. I only missed about a week but it feels very shitty.


Just work hard and focus this week and you'll be right back on track mate. Let us know how it's going. You'll be boxing at Light Welterweight, right?

[avk47]

That's normal height for a middleweight in the US, mate. :D

Or for a heavyweight in my dream world... :nut

[RDJ]

Yeah, 140. I'll keep my log updated.

[Kolya]

Or for a heavyweight in my dream world... :nut


If only, my friend. :lol::lol: How about you; are you training now?

[avk47]

If only, my friend. :lol::lol: How about you; are you training now?

I was training intensly before mid-December and felt good, but matches kept falling through. Haven't boxed since last March, and not by my own choice. Now life's realities have caught up in terms of work, and I don't have time to train enough to compete. At least for the moment. Going to the gym once or twice a week though just to spar.

And you have to admint, 6ft heavyweights are more fun to watch ;)

[amy]

Not sure, within a few weeks. Fucking up this close to a fight was not what I had in mind. I only missed about a week but it feels very shitty.
Eh, one week isn't too bad. Just suck it up and get back in the gym and you'll feel better. I know this is a tough time for you but I think having this fight and doing this one thing you've been training for for so long will take your mind off things and make you feel pretty good.

[znaak]

I just got an opponent for my fight on Saturday. It's in a city called Drøbak, near Oslo. I'm so psyched right now. :D

The opponent is ranked nr. 3 in 81kgs in Norway, but he has much less experience than me. But I'm taking what I can get. About two months since the last time I was in the ring.

[amy]

Yay! Good luck.


I have a bout scheduled for February 14th. The gal, bless her heart, has lost to me three times already but I'm glad to get the ring time.

[znaak]

Thanks the same!

Kick her ass real bad this time. :D

[RDJ]

Fighting someone you already lost to three times, now that is heart :shock:

[TheRock49]

That, or shes gonna load her gloves and look for revenge...

[RDJ]

That, or shes gonna load her gloves and look for revenge...

Is her name Juanita Margarito or something similar? :think

[amy]

Fighting someone you already lost to three times, now that is heart :shock:
I know, I'm impressed with her. The last time she quit after the 3rd round.

[Kolya]

I could have a busy schedule I hope; with a fight on the 14th of February, then hopefully on Feb. 28th and March 1st, then again on March 6th and 7th, then some more with the other tournaments coming up. Looking good so far. :D

Just got home. Won 5-0. I wanted to knock him out real bad, but sadly couldn't do it. He was very strong. He got a beating anyway. In the last round I got him into his own corner, he holds on to me, looks down at his corner and says "How long is it left?!?!" :rofl Hilarious. I just thought WTF? :patsch

well done Znaak

[znaak]

Thanks mate!

[pijo]

I've got one coming up at the end of Feb.

[znaak]

This weekend I'm competing in Skarnes Cup. So far there's only one guy in my class. He's called Steven Semwogerere from Kiron Boxing Club (fights out of England, originally from Uganda or something...). He has 38 fights and no losses. :D I'm gonna break that record!

I hope you are right, but that is a very good record for an amateur. Good luck :good

[znaak]

That's what I heard from the organizers. I'm sending his ass back to Africa. :lol: Thanks!

[GPater11093]

good luck

38-0 is something serious

[znaak]

I'm assuming he is very strong, hits with swinging punches. But I have a hard time believing he's fought that hard opposition. I've dealt with much more experienced folks, but I'm not taking easy on it either way. It will be a tough match.

[GPater11093]

he might not have fought top opposition but 38-0 as an amtuer is still good

[znaak]

Yeah, you're right. ;)

[GPater11093]

how may fights you had you box alot

im lucky to get a fight every month and im pretty active for my area even though theres not alot my weight

[znaak]

I've had 52 bouts.

One fight a month is pretty good. :good

[GPater11093]

during the season which is october to april

how long you been boxing

[znaak]

Hmm. That's not much then... Just keep your hopes up and stay in there!

Almost 6 & 1/2 years now. Didn't fight until after two years of training.

[znaak]

It's been a bit up and down lately with fights. I just know that I'll meet a Dane on March 20th. It will be pretty good media coverage, talked to the mayor today, and maybe he'll come see. :D
The weekend after that it's time for the Norwegian Nationals.
And on March 12th I'm off to Stockholm to train with Sweden's national team. They have a pretty strong team, so will get some good sparring.

[Executioner]

I might be having my comeback bout next month

[Pork Chop]

znaak, so i take it you didn't break his unbeaten streak.

got a smoker/interclub on march 14th.
basically a glorified sparring session but it's my first step towards competition since my first bout went badly in 03.
this is muay thai by the way, first fight was chinese san shou (punch, kick, throw).

12th fight next month... 165 lbs

[gigogreco]

yep.. have one coming up, my first one..

started out just for the exercise, then after 3 weeks went in and joined the boxers. did 2 weeks of sparring, a broken hand, which meant i couldnt spar for 5 weeks. That was followed up by, yet another 2 weeks of sparring and again a broken hand, that took 4 weeks.. then i did another 2 weeks of sparring, and asked the trainers for a fight, they said yes, AND if that wasnt unlucky enough, 3 days prior to the fight, i got a cut while sparring, and couldnt participate..

so right now, im 2 weeks away from my first fight, not feeling that confident, as my preparations have been less then stellar. that combined with, that i have some technical issues, such a closing my eyes and ducking/rolling to low.

still have 2 weeks until the fight, so i have i little time to work on the issues or get injured again:lol:

[amy]

We can still be in Montana in 7.5 hours.

Congrats mate :happy

Congrats mate :happy
thanks,the referee was total garbage though.she kept warning me for slapping,about 5 times without taking a point,whcih i didnt think i was,at one point she had to stop it because she was trapped in a corner.he grabbed onto me i got warned for it.
i still enjjoyed it though.
have you had your bout yet?i bet you're dying to get in there.

I've had more people back out than I can shake a stick at. To be honest, it's making my enthusiasm wane....rapidly. These next bouts coming up, I think will be the last straw for me if the fall through. I had about 7 bouts lined up in the beginning of October and all but one of them has fallen through. The last one we drove 4 and a half hours only to find out that she backed out. :twisted: It's getting old.

I'm a ref and often times if it's a kid's first bout I'll give a lot of cautions for slapping without taking a point. For two reasons: 1. because most kids don't understand the rules and hand signals by their 1st fight (coach's fault) 2. Most kids slap a lot until they refine their skills a bit so when they are new I let them get away with a lot more than I let the more experienced kids get away with.

our girls had 2 fight last season.its a shame because shes quite good.
that was my 3rd fight and his 7th i think.plus im 20.
if i was slapping he's just walk through them though but i was shifting this dude whenever i connected.

[znaak]

It's been a bit up and down lately with fights. I just know that I'll meet a Dane on March 20th. It will be pretty good media coverage, talked to the mayor today, and maybe he'll come see. :D
The weekend after that it's time for the Norwegian Nationals.
And on March 12th I'm off to Stockholm to train with Sweden's national team. They have a pretty strong team, so will get some good sparring.
All of this are history now. Everything went very well. This weekend I'll compete in the Nordic Championships. The level is pretty high, but if I box up to my best and have a good day, I could get the gold medal.

Edit: Another upcoming event is a meeting with the Mayor on Thursday. Will get some flowers from him. :p

Only one dude showed up to our last interclub so i just had an exhibition sparring match against one of our girls. I was a bit disappointed, but my main goal this year is a kickboxing tourney on July 19th.
We have another interclub May 16th and I'll do that if my wife doesn't have our baby that weekend.

[znaak]

:lol: Best of luck to you. I'm confindent that you will do well.
What? :lol: Well, thank you. The best of luck to you too!

How many fights have you guys had this season? I've only had 12 so far... Will get at least 20.

[amy]

Only 12?! I'm lucky if I get 10/year. I've only had 3 since October. ....and I've had about 5 fall through. :(

*If I were a guy though, I'd have no problem getting at least 20/season. But it's harder to find girls.

[RDJ]

I just got the schedule for next Saturday, apparently I'm the first one to fight. That makes me fucking nervous, but on the other hand I won't have time to get nervous during other people's fights.

[znaak]

20 fights for me who lives here up north is very, very much. But compared to boxers in other countries, it's nothing. Yeah, it's much harder to find girls. A shame. :-(

Don't worry, RDJ. Stay focused. I'm always one of the last to get in there. I'm a fat fuck, you know.

won the scottish title at 81kg Junior (by to final). Moving back down in weight because I wasn't natural at 81 kg.

Next fight is on the 12th of April against a 29 year old who's had about 40 fight and won about half. It's the main event on my clubs home show so It means a lot to me to put on a good show for the home crowd.

[Executioner]

Had my first fight in 3 yrs on Friday night in a tournament after going back to the gym in at the end of february. started off as 178 lbs then and weighed in at 164 on friday. unfortunately, there were no guys in my division (16-17 yrs old) so i had to be moved up to the senior division where there i had to fight the guy from the same city, 7 yrs older and had fought everyfight at 178..i lost tho, body shots fuckin killed me. :-(

I don't have another bout until May 16. Although, it will be the first time in four years that I'll box in my home town (with the crowd actually cheering for me for once) and my parents will be able to be there, so that's good.

when they first told me i was nervous as hell, especially with me drinking on thursday kept thinking what if im not fit enough what if the drinking has put me back 2 weeks etc. Took me about an hour and then been ok since.

Did some sparring last night with a guy a stone heavier than me and more expereince and felt good and held my own, so now im brimming with confidence. its weird though only having 3 day notice but thats amateurs!

hope you haven't been matched with brickfists:lol::lol:

[Pork Chop]

Had a muay thai exhibition bout against my training partner last sunday for Thai New Year.
We were fighting outdoors on some carpets and jigsaw matts thrown directly on sloped, pock-marked ground.

I say "exhibition" but it was harder than the last smoker bout I went to.
Had a hard time getting anything off, my footwork was garbage.

Landed like one decent combo.

Twisted both of my ankles, one real bad, but didn't feel it till the next day.

Caught a flying knee to the ribs from the same guy who drops everyone with knees to the ribs (including me the first time we sparred).
It knocked the wind out of me, but I kept going, finished out that round, and one more round till they called time.

Apparently my nose was bleeding too.

Taking the rest of the week off to heal up, second set of bruised ribs I've had this year from the same guy.
Just feel old.

Somewhat conflicted though, on one hand I feel like I need to spar hard every workout, on the other, the injuries & inability to train are reminding me why I'm not a huge fan of banging hard all the time.

I'm getting too old for this stuff.
July's my big event and then I'm done for a while.

EDIT: Woke up this morning with difficulty breathing. Went into the ER and got some X-Rays. It's official, my rib's busted. Hooray for Vicodin and local anasthetics.

[Kolya]

Why do people think amateur records are important? The thing that's important is the level of experience and quality of the experience, almost everyone I know has to kind of guess their record.

[Pork Chop]

Why do people think amateur records are important? The thing that's important is the level of experience and quality of the experience, almost everyone I know has to kind of guess their record.

Well part of it is the "losing isn't an option" mentality of Americans.

But I also think it's signs of a general trend.

Different sport, I know, but my experience with kickboxing is that in most of the competitive amateur circuits, guys won't have their first "official" amateur bout till they've had 5 to 10 unofficial interclubs/smokers. Dudes have 8 week, full-time, pro-style training camps before bouts & cut anywhere from 10 to 20 pounds (sometimes more) in order to make weight.

In mma a lot of amateurs are pros who just aren't getting paid for their bouts (ie guys with sponsorship deals that do nothing but train).

Going pro seems to be only for the elite, the guys who don't know any better, or the guys with no other options.

[avk47]

Well I agree with you. Some people don't take hard bouts because they are afraid of a L, even though hard bouts are what take you to the next level. Sometimes you do need to get in on a less than 50:50 bout, so long as its within reason (i.e. you're not pretty much guaranteed to get KTFO). On the other hand, I think people who have a good record are usually happier to tell it than those that don't (they say how many bouts they've had :)). I mean, records do mean something if they come with titles and wins against good boxers, but don't if your a guy repeatidly fighting 1 bout novices!

So, I drew Imre Szello of Hungary in my preliminary which is tonight. He got to the quarterfinal in the World Champs in 2007 and Olympics in 2008. Very strong guy. He's a big favourite, but I can't wait to meet him and earn all the experience I can get. I'll box my way.

Juli 17th, an exhibition.

[znaak]

I lost on points to the better man today. Fair and square. He quite often stops his opponents, but I was never buzzed at all (though I got a standing 8 count - BAH!). I didn't go in there just to survive, I wanted to win. I held quite good up with him at the beginning of each round, but then he more and more took control. Well, it was a good test for me. All in all it was an OK performance by me. Was hard to get the right distance and hold up good footwork. But, anyway... He's five years older than me, I have plenty of years left. His routine and strength made him win.

taping some sparring this week so ill up it to see how you guys think im getting on.

[RDJ]

I'm probably fighting in October. Let's hope it's not a southpaw because my southpaw sparring partner and good friend broke or displaced his jaw in sparring tonight. Not sure at this point, as he's not back from the hospital yet. I hope he'll be okay, but my guess is he won't be fighting or sparring in the next few months. It was really fucked up because he realized that as well and was barely able to suppress the tears. I really feel for him, he's in awesome shape and gave me a hiding last Saturday in sparring. All that work, out the window.

Ps. no I did not do it.

Ps. no I did not do it.

not so good but tahts boxing aint it. shame though

i do hate southpaws but thats too far. i hvent had any southpaw sparring (just a switchhitter)

He's actually a top bloke, you don't meet people that honest very often. There are a few people in the gym whose jaw I would not mind being broken, but he's not one of them.

Until now I got southpaw sparring multiple times a week, I think I sparred about 40 rounds with him just last week. I'm actually rather comfortable sparring them, although it does present problems with footwork mainly.

It wasn't his jaw but a broken zygomatic arch.

Have a fight on Saturday. I haven't fought in nearly six months due to fights getting canceled last minute, an injury and not having any opponents available for me. Been training hard the whole time and I'm excited to finally get back in the ring.

I reckon I'll be fighting at the end of October-early September. Nothing official yet though.

Lined up my first fight for Oct 17th. Going to start my roadwork this week. Been training 5 day's per week since end of April (come fight night 5.5 months), fighting at light heavy. Any words of advice for preparation etc?

[jordaw]

my first fight is saturday.

How did your fights go?

Obed Mbwakongo, the guy I was supposed to meet, didn't make it. That lazy cunt was "sick" and 7-8kgs over weight.

But I got another very good opponent and worked my way to a 2-1 victory.

Next up is Nationen Cup in Wiener Neustadt in Austria 24-27 September. And I see that the same home boxer I got totally robbed against last year will also enter. Time for revenge. :lol:

Oh, and before that I'm leaving to Bergen today to spar with some Brits.

[quote=GPater11093;2967943]im just wondering

i have 2 fights coming up

firstly
scottish youth novice championship @ 54kg

secondly
northern district scotland youth 6-10 fight championship @54kg

the reason why im fighting novice then 6-10 is that i have had 5 fights and the scottish will probably put me to 7 fights[/quote
