giving up the first round....or two....

[amy]

I don't know how many people here actually compete but I was wondering who here is or has been a late starter. I almost always lose the first and sometimes second round and then have to fight like hell the 3rd and 4th to make up for it.

Anyone else have this problem, my coach is about to kill me for stressing him out so bad every fight. :lol:

[younghypnotiq]

i do the opposite. i do nasty in the first 2 roudns or w.e but then i get tired and get fucked the last few

The more experienced boxers seem to take fitness a bit more seriously. But for the most part they are only good for the first half of the fight and then fade out. I'm the opposite, it takes me a round or two to get into it.

I had a hard time getting warmed up in the back so my first rounds werent very good on my part plus I liked to feel my guy out. All my stoppages exept for 1 were in the 3rd round thats my round.

I did it in my first 15 fights or so. I start earlier now. It was great for the people watching, but not so fun for me getting so stressed. :D

:lol: That's what I keep telling my coach, I'm just trying to make an interesting fight for those who are watching. But it's not good. It's like I have to be losing before I can turn it on and go hard. :?

What do did you do different? I've tried warming up longer, listening to music and all that. I don't know.

[joekirkbycobra]

i go the pace they go
because im confident in my ability an fitness

[amy]

Well, for me it's not a conditioning thing because I'm always in better shape than my opponent. It's more mental I think. :?

Well, I didn't think that much about the people watching, it just went that way whatever I did. :p When I really knew I was losing, something always sort of clicked, then I just had to fight harder. Funny to see I wasn't the only one. :D

Hmm... I don't really know what made it "go away". I tried to warm up longer and do shorter warmups with more flurries and sprints inbetween. But eventually it just went away gradually. In my last couple of fights I've usually started hard.

[amy]

Ok, I'm going to try a more intense and longer warm up this Friday and see how it goes.

I saw your fight vid on here a few weeks back and wanted to ask you about your power. If you've found that you don't have that much power then perhaps you start a fight subconciously thinking that it'll go the distance and you won't be able to stop your opponent.

Next fight tell yourself that you're going to really hurt your opponent early and get her out of there in the first round. Get that killer instinct going. I don't mean go all out so that you couldn't make the 4th round if it goes that long, but hurt your opponent with each punch thrown hard. Then they'll be cautious about swarming on you and getting points because you aren't answering back as much in the first couple of rounds.

Good advice, thank you. I shall try that. :thumbsup

Yeah, Amy punches like a girl!

I'm I'm still the most active boxer on this board.

[SweetScience]

Nervousness I presume why people lose the first round sometimes.

[Rakim]

I know dick about boxing but as far as psychology goes, the body language given off before a fight starts must have a big effect. Maybe part of the reason your first round is the worst is because your opponent thinks they've spotted a 'weakness', in this case; a lack of confidence. I'm not sure how you act before a fight, but I'd guess that you're not loud, cocky, or arrogant in the build-up. Maybe you could just try strolling slowly around the ring a little more, looking extremely confident. If your opponent has a little bit of fear, they'll start a little more cautiously. This might help you start as well as you finish.

[avk47]

You're the one who was complaining about not getting fights for several months :!: So I would dispute that. Young hippo, for example, has fights in the parking lot every time he spars, and if you don't think those are bouts, you must be pretty stupid.

Well, I was always very confident and never nervous before a fight. It happened anyway. But I guess it's very individual.

That's the same with me. I don't really get nervous at all. It would probably help if I was a little nervous.

You're right. I'm only on my 5th real fight in two months, I really need to get out to the parking lot more often.

[MrSmall]

[joekirkbycobra]

[younghypnotiq]

[SeanDoc]

Ha. Only 35 in two whole months. That's alright I suppose but... unimpressive.
