what pisses you off in boxing

[Vantage_West]

:| me being a 5'8 super-middlewieght

im a small slender guy with an alright reach but it's my legs footballer legs that are huge and useless.......anyother complaints form anybody else

[IOANNIS]

Legs are not useless a lot of punching power comes from them.

[amy]

losing sucks.

[freesix88]

Big legs are very helpfull. Most of the punching power comes from the legs and the abs/low-back regions.

[avk47]

Boxing below your level (underperforming) and getting robbed. Both just make me feel dizzy and sick when the decision is announced.

[RDJ]

Getting hit. I hate it.

[Lostmykeys]

Getting hit. I hate it.

Agreed. Also roadwork.

[Relentless]

bodyshots

[Krippy]

Definitely body shots.

That, and losing your consistency.

[Relentless]

a shot to the liver or solar plexus is worse than anything i have ever felt.

[Smith]

a shot to the liver or solar plexus is worse than anything i have ever felt.

Agreed, I prefer to get hit on the face any day of the week(although obviously i prefer not to get hit). It really is fucking amazing how some pros carry on walking through 10 20 body shots a round, i can't

[Diomedes]

I'll agree with bodyshots. A good bodyshot is many times worse than a good hit to the head.

amatuer style boxing with the pitty pat punches, sparring with ass holes, sparring against runners

thats not necessarily true. i've KO'd 9 of my 17 opponents and have met several hard punching amatuers. anyway, i hate roadwork and chasing after a guy who just jabs and runs. i hate it. oh, and i hate headgear. i find it annoying and useless. it prevents cuts, but i dont believe it protects anything else.

the ko percentage for british boxers is something pathetic like 1%. seriously.

im talking about the ams.

[JMonster]

when bigger guys win just because their size

[chinachin_76]

When you train hard all your life and some guy comes along and just has the natural ability and makes into the big time with little effort.

No kidding! I work so hard for everything and my brother barely tries and it better at everything. :twisted:

[isaac11]

i hate fighting short people and im like 5 10 or 11

[younghypnotiq]

i hate amateur boxing. because none of my strenghts can be used. which are 1 ability to take punches, 2. being able to push through pain and tiredness, and three i can hit people hard

[Raja510]

I hate that they cut out the ring card girls on TV broadcasts! :patsch

[MrMagic]

Well, solar plexus shots are tough to receive.. I've never actually gone down from one but I have been dazed.
Low blows sucks.
At one point I had to take a knee, I received a headbutt to my solar plexus in sparring.. yes he came in very low and it hurt like hell.

Ok, Rocky. Whatever you say. Didn't you just start boxing? So how the heck would you know what your style is or what works in a fight. You're just regurgitating the same shit you've heard elsewhere trying to sound like you're experienced and know something about the ams. If you're so strong and hit so hard, you should be able to overwhelm people and give them 8 counts, which referees in the amateurs do frequently if someone gets hit hard.

[Kolya]

Boxing below your level (underperforming) and getting robbed. Both just make me feel dizzy and sick when the decision is announced.


I agree on both. Which is why I've had trouble rewatching my fights from this year. I know I'm better than what I did in those fights, just all the reflexes and instincts weren't knicking back in, and I wasn't getting the sparring. So yeah, not performing on the level you know you can can be highly frustrating.

[Fab2333]

Getting hit. I hate it.
:good, that shit gets me annoyed sometimes. Especially if some1 manages to hit me with a good shot. I try to anticipate where punches are going to come from, and what my opponent is going to do be4 he eveb does it. And if somehow he catches me, that definately gets me a bit upset. But i kno in boxing you get hit point blank so I just deal with it

[Vantage_West]

[Kolya]

So what you are saying is that you don't know what you are talking about?

[younghypnotiq]

no...

[Vantage_West]

[Vantage_West]

yo dumbass i never had a fight but it seems like somethgng thats gunna piss me offyou just started boxing

i think somone is lieing

[Fab2333]

You hate amateur boxing b/c your strength of being able tot ake punches cant be used? How do you kno if you can take a solid punch when you always have protective equipment on. And by you saying that, you must get hit a lot for a referee to always stop a fight or wateva mayb the case. Take a shot without protection and then find out if you can take a lot of punches.

[Gpoppyjr2]

Now thats what I was thinking but so far I've been to a few of the fights for my friends and I'm training for a fight Aug 4th and I have a slugger style. My coach is trying to show us how to score points and what not and it's frustrating to me. I know I hit hard, and when they hit me it's taps, though I have had a few that can bang, but even the taps still get points. I think the system just bothers but I don't know.

I'm a 5'10 Heavyweight, with monster legs.. use your low center of gravity to your benifit. the power in boxing starts in the feet and the legs and moves on up and out through the fist. Start putting them to sleep my friend !

[amy]

You. Are. So. Tough. :dead

[doefler182]

i hate it when you have to spar some dick who when the coach tells us both to go slow at the beginning just proceeds to run at me and throw for the fences and then when i clinch and try to break it cleanly hits me with a dirty left hook. . . . . .thats what i hate most about boxing

[Pugsley]

How the amateurs say NO lowering your head. So what was the point in bobbing and weaving under that line????

[atg]

Bad judging.

[boxexpert]

JUDGES....especially the biased ones. you give all you have and in the end it lays all in the hands of such a moron

[Little_Mac]

...pretenders who think they know stuff....

[1fletch]

Worrying abt my small fucking wrists breaking on the heavy bag

[amy]

Not getting batter at the rate you want/should/need to.

[lefthook]

what do you think about people who spar with a headband?

[amy]

what do you think about people who spar with a headband?

It's it's white, they will be a world champion.

[Super_Fly_Sam]

Agreed. Also roadwork.

I Hate Road Work Too..... But Its Gotta Be Done So I Just Put Up With It...

Also Losing Isn't Fun...

Nor Is Fighting Shit When You Know You Can Do Alot Better...

And Having To Travel For Ages To Fight People Who Are Heavier And More Experienced Coz Of A Lack Of Fighters Around Sucks

[karmazon]

When I'm in a bad mood and there's no one to beat up...spar with.
