Almost fight time
Okay well my first fight is about to happen i'm not sure if i'm fighting june 24th or july 24th i don't remember what the lady said about weigh ins. Weigh ins are the same day as the fight right? I'm kinda nervous about the fight. Any advice going in? To calm the nervousness. To build my stamina up more before the fight. I'm most likely getting my friends to watch me and i don't wanna look bad.

Damn brooklyn, your first fight, I envy you man. Im sure you'll box his ears off. I believe the weigh in is usually a day before the fight, then you weigh in again before the but not sure. Probably the best way to calm the nervousness is to spar as much as you can from here out, besides that being a little nervous will give you an edge. Stamina, Im sure your in pretty good shape already, but if you really wanna build stamina, sprinting is probably the best way to achieve it, just be careful not to pull anything. Video tape the fight man, I'd like to see it. Good luck bud.

Just stay focused and breathe calmly. It's natural to have some nerves but you don't wanna go in with a cluttered mind. Don't even think about your friends being there. Always believe that you can win the fight and never underestimate your opponent. If you go in with doubts then it could affect the way you fight. Just be confident and use your skills that you've been learning at your club. I'm sure you'll do well. Once the first fight is over then you wonder why you were ever nervous in the first place.
Good luck.

Not necessarily. If you hurt your opponent and give him a standing 8 count then you win the round big time.
