How long have you been boxing?
How many amateur fights do have you had?
Have they all been small club shows?
Any major tournanement experience?
What is the average comeptition you face?
How consistent is your training?

I've been boxing for about 3.5 years seriously. I was a fitness person before that.

Zero fights, my first fight will be in a few months.

My sparring partners are all decent amateur fighters, doing well with them in the ring convinced me to compete after all.

My training has been pretty consistent except for a few short periods of inactivity. At this moment I'm back to 5 times a week boxing training, the other two days I do whatever I feel like, running, cycling, or whatever.

Cool thanks guys, that's what I was looking for.

Me:
How long have you been boxing? Coming up on three years.
How many amateur fights do have you had? 18 with three more tournaments this summer/fall. So I'm hoping to have close to 25 by the time the season is over.
Any major tournanement experience? US Nationals twice and Rindside once. Heading to Women's National Golden Gloves in a few weeks and to Ringside in August.
What is the average comeptition you face? Across the map. Occassionaly I'll fight someone with 4 or 5 fights but at tournaments most of my opponents have 30-50+ fights and loads more experience.
How consistent is your training? Year round with maybe a week off in the spring and at the end of summer. Usually 5-6 days a week.

How long have you been boxing? On and off for a year
How many amateur fights do have you had? 0
What is the average comeptition you face? I've sparred with some good pro's and some guys who were getting in the ring for the first time. Usually it's guys with a few amateur fights.
How consistent is your training? 5-6 days a week now. Had to take a long period of time off due to injury so I'm just getting back into it now.

How long have you been boxing? Six years in September. First two years weren't serious.
How many amateur fights do have you had? 43.
Have they all been small club shows? No, we have many box cup's in Scandinavia. And some smaller tournaments.
Any major tournanement experience? Not that big (yet). Only thing is the Norwegian Nationals, where I got silver this year (they robbed me in the final), but you can't call it a major tournament. :D
What is the average comeptition you face? Usually guys with more fights than me. Not easy to find opponents on the same level.
How consistent is your training? Every day for the last four years.

I did a little in the summer but I've been doing it consistently since November which makes it about 7 and 1/2 months.

None yet hope to have some this summer.

None

Nope

I mostly spar with a bunch of begginers and occasionally someone who is way better than me. But recently i found someone who can bang for a few rounds whos about as good as me.

I train about every other day, Usually do calisthenics or cardio on my off days or sometimes nothing. I have no set schedule since if I don't feel good I wont go to the gym cause i cant get the best workout but I never dont train more than 3 days unless i purposly take a week off.

Boxed when I was a teenager for a few of years, stopped due to my parents not wanting to me to fight due to a friend of there's suffereing brain injuries from boxing.

I was a flyweight and only had 15 fights, 12 wins 3 losses. Still do some of the training to keep fit. Occaissonally go into a proper gym but always get to tempted to spar so don't go often.

Update... I fought an exhibition yesterday. If it was scored I would have lost, I wasn't active enough. But I knew that in advance, the other guy had a lot of experience, and this was just to get used to the public and all the other things like warming up in the hallway etc.

I learned that my pace needs to be higher for Olympic style boxing, less power more punches. I wasn't nervous but the crowd got on my mind anyway, I completely forgot about my game plan and was mindlessly chasing him, I was too eager. Learned a lot, next time will be serious. I want my first fight as soon as possible, it will probably be in september.

Nice feeling to fight eh? Dunno if it is the same for everyone but I get a huge rush after fighting, I would imagine what doing a drug might be like.

Focus is such an easy thing to lose. My first few santioned fights were in Casinos and it was dark, but with nice lighting so focus was easy...hit the dude all lit up in front of you!

Then I had a fight after those where I was hurt going in, so that was on my mind...and the place was small in comparison and lit up very bright. I swear could hear what people were saying as was fighting and it was a total mind fook.

Congrats on your first fight.

Yes it was a great feeling. I was hyper active the entire night which annoyed the living shit out of some people :lol:

:happy :happy :happy :happy :happy

Way to go, RDJ. I'm the same way. I get really jacked off of adrenaline and endorphins and coming down off the fight, and I'm really talkative and in a good mood usually; it means that the crowd is shocked when they talk to me how nice I am. :lol: But yeah mate; focus on your output and keeping a nice, high and tight guard to pick off more shots while letting your hands go more. Maybe more volume and when you get inside, then whip some hard ones around so he can feel your power.

Wow I thought there would be more experience here.

I've been boxing since I was 13, so 9 years. But I was just fighting my friends in my basement and hitting mitts with no idea what I was doing. At 15 I went to join a boxing gym and I found out I had serious neck problems, so I got that fixed and fell out of boxing. Got back into it at 17, started getting somewhere, sparring alot but not working out enough and being lackluster. Moved to Whistler got too involved in skiing and quit boxing until about a year ago.

So as of now I train everyday, I have no amateur fights yet I just spar at the moment. Probably first fight in the fall. And I want it for real, I want to go as far as you can go, but I'm 22 now and hoping someone will still take a chance on an old timer.
