I would suggest sparring lightly with someone you know and train with first. If you go in challenging some random bro to hit the ring than he's probably going to show off his skills and feed his ego by beating your ass.

As for your first fight it takes a lot of training and conditioning to actually step up in the ring. I still haven't and I been training for years now. It depends on the person of course. Conditioning is the most important thing in being ready. I plan to start fighting competitively come the beginning of next year. There is never too much preparation and now that I feel comfortable with my skill I now can gauge my potential against a well rounded opponent

 

I would just join the boxing gym ASAP, physically you might be ready but yea make sure you get paired with someone who knows how to treat a first timer. Most of the time it boils down to how calm you can stay in the ring and if you can take a punch! Gluck!

 

i hate people that come on the forum cocky "ive got natural street fighting ability" lmao what the hells that about drop your ego because your going to get put on your ass in the ring thats a fact. it happens to the best in training and people like you hate it as it makes you look like a little girl and you cant let go of your ego. boxing isnt just about beating the **** out of each other its tactical. go in there with your street fighting i DARE you, you will soon learn.

 

Forget about sparring, you need to learn how to box. Anyone can hit a bag but not anyone can hit it correctly. If you were to walk in the ring with someone now you would get embarrassed. Get your self to a boxing gym, learn the correct footwork and keep practicing until you get it right, most people ignore it but it's the most important thing to master when you are starting out. Learn how to hold your guard, learn some shots and then start hitting the bags. People think hitting heavy bags and a bit of cardio is all you need to step in the ring, they couldn't be more wrong. Street fighting experience means nothing, try and do that in the ring you will walk into a shot and get knocked out.

Get your self to a gym.

 

Or he's going to land a shot and knock that other bitch out. Stop trying to scare him, boxing ain't some art. The strongest and quickest always win, that's why I'm confident too. wned:

 

lmao you failed SuburBanLegend.

Dkd4L, whenever I read ur posts, all I see is a scared little boy who knows the real truth that fighters such as myself and the topic creator were born with superior strength and speed and can whoop some ass in our weight classes at any given time.
No need to be jealous

 

whatever you say little guy.
