I sparred with other that"boxed" to work out when I was in highschool and in College. Very little contact.
But recently I have heard of guys my age and younger that are boxing competetivly on an amatuer level. I wanna say the organization is called ringside, but I am not sure. I will be checking it out because I've got to try it.
It reminds me of being in a batting cage with only an 80mph fast ball. It gave me a whole new respect for the lowly .230 hitter in baseball.Going hard for 2min. a round(amt. level)while getting punched at may help my perspective.Once I find out a little more I'll fill you in......
