At age 25 and haveing only 15 amature fights am thinking of turning pro

[cotto20]

Av been boxing on and off since i was 16, i had 9 fights as a junior winning 6, then left boxing for a while. i went back to boxing 18 months ago i have had 6 fights as a senior winning all 6, but am 25 now and am already sick of the amatures so i am going to try the pro ranks, i live in wigan which isnt far from manchester. What are your thoughts on this? am gonna start looking for a trainer soon. My record is 15 fights 12 wins

[IntentionalButt]

Go for it. :good

I'm actually considering a late run myself (27 now, never competed - been out of the gym a few years now, and for several years before that after supposedly showing "promise" as a snot-nosed 12 year old :yep - but having my parental funding cut off within months). I'm curious - how long did it take you to rack up the 15? How intensively were you training during that time? How was it juggling that with making a living and living life?

Well when i was a junior i had 9 fights won 6, then i stopped for a few years. Since comeback as a senior i have felt really good the senior boxing suits my style better as am a pressure fighter so they like to stand and bang more, av just finished college so now am not working reason why i want to go pro. Since going back to boxing i have stopped drinking and i train every day. Am on good run av not been beat as a senior in my last fight i beat a guy who had had 28 fights, so i would like to give the pro game a try cos i need some money and some titles would be nice :good

i think the only problem is going to be finding a decent promoter or manger to behonest, am thinking about going over to ireland to john breens gym, i have family who live in ireland

There's no good scene in Manchester? Would think so. Ireland seems a bit out of the way to need to go. Definitely weigh your options and put yourself out there. :happy

The closest to me looks to be Brian Vera's promoter. :!: The sport's not exactly thriving in Boston...damn shame as this used to be a hotbed.

Indeed mate. Serious fall from grace...the state's biggest active name at the moment is probably still Ruiz. :verysad

[cotto20]

to go from excting fighters like ward, marciano and hagler to a wrestler like ruiz :patsch

[Flea Man]

GoOd luck. I thought that was the motivation behind all your 'who turned pro late' threads that you post every other week. I felt you were trying to get enough examples to convince yourself you could do it. And you can! Go for it, just live the strictest life you can.

Maybe I should test my chin against some viable opposition :lol:

[FrochPascal]

I just, wish you the best.

[cotto20]

45 mins on a plane from a number of cheap airlines. have flown it myself over 20 times.


mate good luck and if you go with breen then thats a seriously good decision, the man has trained a silly amount of world champs considering how famous he is, and if i was you i would do a camp in belfast before your fights even if you continue to fight in england, its a idea not enough uk fighters take advantage of imo.

St_Boxing_J12 would flatten Anthony Small in a round. Who's with me, guys?

Doubtful. He's more likely to plagarise off a different site, and then to send Small a series of private messages dissing his physical appearance, change his username and then act like a nice guy:good

Prima is spot on.
Sounds to me like you can fight. Sell tickets and youll get looked after.
As trainers go your spoilt for choice, but I would go for someone like Bob Shannon or Brian Hughes and I would definately be taking Jeff up on his offer.:good Good luck.

I do a great deal of stuff with Kev Maree and if I do fight again, it will be with him. Up to you!!

Oliver Harrison has Craig Lyons whose from Wigan... And Murray is from St Helens, thats not too far away is it?

who is kev maree? has he got many fighters? cos i want a trainer who can work alot with me, some one like oliver harrison has got too many fighters now, which is great for sparring, but not great if you want some one on one teaching

[MIK1000]

Why don't u have ago in the ABA's this season and see how you do? I don't think you're in that much of a rush, a couple more seasons of amateurs to get much needed experience against the cream of the English seniors and you will be in much better sted without having done much harm.

You have slagged me off for doing this before, and dont deny it as you also called me an amatuer journeyman, how is it for a persons ego if they are putting up videos of themselves boxing and asking for anaylisis on it. I would say its a good thing you can seee what other people think you are doing wrong and right and other people see things you might have missed.

I have never called any one a journeyman, i wil have you banned if you say that again cos i never said it. Thats what you have trainer for to tel you were your going wrong not people are fourms, most of the people are key bord warriors any way and would piss there pants if they had to get in a ring. You and fleaman av been saying this for a while now that i was posting under some other name, which i was not for the last time. I actually respect you g pater as you actually box. But i am loseing respect for you now

[Top Dog]

good man Jeff. I never believed what everyone said about you. :good

Ho macallan, dont believe it he's still a cnut;)

well if you aint cotto20 ill forget it but he posted everyday then all of a sudden stopped and you started posting the exactly the same sort of stuff in the same style bit of a coincidence?

but ill forget it and good luck

[themacallan]

Ho macallan, dont believe it he's still a cnut;)righty ho. Jeff, you're a good cunt. :good

Plus he spells 'amature' the exact same way, and always posts about amateur boxing - just like cotto20.....................

[turpinr]

good luck mate.
25 isn't old anyway.one of my mates turned pro at about the same age.he'd had more fights than you as an amateur but his record wasn't as good.
are you a banger or a boxer.

['Ben']

Go for it. There's no reason why you can't have sucsess (unless you aint any good of course? and I'm not assuming that anway)

[widdy]

go for it,i wish i did,if only to get a twating:bbb:D
and take mr thomas up on his offer,go up to kevin marees gym and do some sparring,he is a decent chap

[brown bomber]

If you've got something then you may find a trainer whose willing to give up time to develop you on a one on one basis but you'll have to be a bit of a 'freak' to be good enough to turn pro after six senior fights. It can happen but i'd need to see you to make a proper judgement. If you aren't good enough - then do NOT go for it. You'll get sparked. Seen it happen, guys thinking they are outside of the box when they're not and they get spread like dairylee.

[Flea Man]

Cotto20/StBoxing/BoxingGloves1/Iran Barkley/Some Welsh Username/Frazier Hook..............all within hours of the last one or at the same time as another.

Dunno if Pater can find the thread but there's one where all the names revert back to Cotto20 and you see he's quoting different alias' of himself to make himself look like a better poster or to slag me off :lol:

What a wanker :deal

[pauliewalnuts]

He needs to go and have a word with himself, oh wait he already did haha. I am stunned at how sad some people online really are!
