Explaining boxing to an amateur boxer

Interestingly enough, one of my guildies, formerly being a Kick Boxer with a record of 52-1-1, has now become an amateur boxer. Knowing boxing myself, he asked me for my vast advice about boxing. Being honored and proud of him, I was very happy to give him advice. This also happened after I sent Winter an invite to my chat after he had his fight tonight, and I was very ambitious on asking him how it went after Joanne told me earlier that he told her that he had an amateur fight.

WinterSprings992 : should i start at cruiser weight?
GameAmazon : I'm not gonna lie, boxing isn't ever easy, but if you are prepared enough...
GameAmazon : cruiser...
GameAmazon : it depends on your weight, winter
GameAmazon : lets see...
WinterSprings992 : 6'4 195
GameAmazon : You comfortable at 195, or lower?
WinterSprings992 : i like where i am now but i can drop back down
GameAmazon : It depends on how much stamina and speed you possess at each weight
WinterSprings992 : i used to be 170
blueeyesblackhrt : Hello
GameAmazon : Well winter, your power, speed and stamina is vital
GameAmazon : pending on what weight you are at
GameAmazon : and where you feel comfortable at
GameAmazon : but you're nearly as tall as Lennox Lewis
WinterSprings992 : i have more power now then i did at 170
WinterSprings992 : more speed
GameAmazon : <heavyweight boxing champ>
WinterSprings992 : and more stamina
GameAmazon : well
WinterSprings992 : i feel like i could take on tyson even though i would get my ass handed too me
WinterSprings992 : lol
GameAmazon : Don't be too predictable about the fighting styles of your opponents, it's always possible they fear you more than you think.
GameAmazon : One thing
GameAmazon : I like about your style
GameAmazon : you are tall
GameAmazon : and that is great for a heavyweight
WinterSprings992 : yea a good hit reach
Sapphir3Wolf : 6'4... god, and people say that I am tall O_o
GameAmazon : Regarding your boxing style... do you fight more like a Boxer? <Disciplined, jabbing, and not taking dangerous risks> or a puncher? <just trying to beat the crap out of people>
blueeyesblackhrt : I'd have to jump to hit you
blueeyesblackhrt : lol
Sapphir3Wolf : ditto
GameAmazon : lol
WinterSprings992 : i usually fight
WinterSprings992 : really aggressive
WinterSprings992 : and try to get KO's
WinterSprings992 : all the time
WinterSprings992 : but im learning
WinterSprings992 : im trying to be more disaplined
WinterSprings992 : disciplined*
WinterSprings992 : i need someone who knows the ropes for boxing
WinterSprings992 : because its a whole new world for me
GameAmazon : boxing...
GameAmazon : such a great sport
WinterSprings992 : i love it and i just started
WinterSprings992 : if i go pro ur gonna be my trainer
GameAmazon : o_o
WinterSprings992 : :-)
blueeyesblackhrt : I boxed my friend once, not to interrupt
GameAmazon : My next advice to you if you want it, believe it or not...... is to set yourself at a weight that you feel MOST comfortable at
WinterSprings992 : to be honast if you think i can do it i want to be heavyweight
WinterSprings992 : in the heavyweight division*
GameAmazon : You mean out of all those kick boxing fights, you had no instructor, or trainer, or anything?
WinterSprings992 : nope
GameAmazon : wtf
WinterSprings992 : well
WinterSprings992 : when i was learning
WinterSprings992 : thats it
WinterSprings992 : then i fought on my own
GameAmazon : As a boxer you must have one who is clear in the mind and prepared to give advice in any situations
GameAmazon : And that
GameAmazon : is a manager/trainer
WinterSprings992 : if i go pro would u fill that spot?
Sir Veight : that would work for paulos
GameAmazon : lol v8
GameAmazon : Winter you're going into a serious business
Sir Veight : clearing his mind and advice
Sir Veight : i can believe that
WinterSprings992 : and im ready to be commited
GameAmazon : I don't think I have the experience to be a successful trainer. and besides, I wouldn't want you blaming me if I messed up -_-
GameAmazon : i can help you find one though.
WinterSprings992 : i wouldnt blame u
WinterSprings992 : you wuold be a good manager
Sir Veight : cmon paulos
Sir Veight : you can do it all night long!@
Sir Veight : o_O
Sir Veight : lol
GameAmazon : lol
blueeyesblackhrt : lol
WinterSprings992 : if i lost its because i woulda screwed up
GameAmazon : then you need to have more amateur fights and I need to see your progress, because you're still a kick boxer at heart
WinterSprings992 : and plus i dont know piss about boxing
GameAmazon : you need to adjust your entire fighting style
WinterSprings992 : yea
GameAmazon : not on the street, but in the ring
WinterSprings992 : i about kicked today
GameAmazon : It's to be expected.
WinterSprings992 : and the ref gave me a dirty look
blueeyesblackhrt : I'm going to review the rpg, hope you don't need me (doesn't seem like you do anyway)
GameAmazon : ok blue

GameAmazon : boxing isn't just about PUMPING IRON
GameAmazon : FOR HEAVYWEIGHTS it's about keeping your SKILL Toned

WinterSprings992 : yea
GameAmazon : STAMINA IS VERY VITAL
GameAmazon : and TAKING A PUNCH also
blueeyesblackhrt : Dexterity
GameAmazon : that too
GameAmazon : I just don't want to see Winter with a damn injury.
GameAmazon : But in my opinion
GameAmazon : boxing is safer than kick boxing
blueeyesblackhrt : as long as he can use his hands
WinterSprings992 : yea
blueeyesblackhrt : lol
GameAmazon : I just hope you don't pump into a dirty fighter
WinterSprings992 : i was watching for an elbow or a kick

Sapphir3Wolf : O_o
GameAmazon : Andrew Golota v.s. Riddick Bowe
blueeyesblackhrt : I hate dirty fighters
GameAmazon : You ever see that fight, winter/
WinterSprings992 : nope
GameAmazon : one of the most controversial fights
GameAmazon : in the history of boxing
GameAmazon : Andrew Golota kicking Bowe's ass most of the fight
GameAmazon : but he begins throwing low blows by mistakes
GameAmazon : FInally, Golota, whos winning the whole fight
GameAmazon : GETS DISQUALIFIED
GameAmazon : for throwing another low blow
GameAmazon : he threwl ike 7 in the whole fight
GameAmazon : bowes like dying on the floor
WinterSprings992 : thats cheap
GameAmazon : imagine getting hit in the nuts 7 times
GameAmazon : by a 245 lb guy
GameAmazon : who is pure muscle
WinterSprings992 : iv actually called a penalty on myself before
blueeyesblackhrt : >.<
GameAmazon : but it caused a riot
GameAmazon : I think it was 1997
GameAmazon : a lot of thugs were attacking golota's corner
GameAmazon : and it started a huge riot
WinterSprings992 : lol
GameAmazon : I think it was Madison SQuare garden
WinterSprings992 : oo i heard about taht
WinterSprings992 : that*
GameAmazon : was not funny, lots of people were injured
GameAmazon : George Foreman protected Larry Merchant and Jim Lampley from being hit by the thugs
GameAmazon : <HBO commentators>
GameAmazon : AND THEN THEY HAD ANOTHER FIGHT
GameAmazon : AND SAME THING
blueeyesblackhrt : It's crazy how it affects the crowd
GameAmazon : GOT HIT 7 TIMES IN THE NUTS
GameAmazon : ANOTHER DISQUALIFICATION
WinterSprings992 : omg
GameAmazon : and IT WAS SAD BECAUSE
GameAmazon : ANDREW GOLOTA UP UNTIL THAT POINT
GameAmazon : WAS UNDEFEATED
WinterSprings992 : i cant imagine one hard hit to the nuts
GameAmazon : WITH A GREAT RECORD, TALK ABOUT SAD
Six Sad World : sooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooo
Six Sad World : WHATS EVERYONE UP TO
GameAmazon : lol
blueeyesblackhrt : Nothing much
WinterSprings992 : lol

Six Sad World : because i have no life
GameAmazon : ...and then next fight, same thing
GameAmazon : beating the crap out of bowe
GameAmazon : but low blows him
GameAmazon : and gets disqualified
GameAmazon : sad.
WinterSprings992 : yea
GameAmazon : dont ever do penalities winter
GameAmazon : too risky
WinterSprings992 : k
GameAmazon : you can get dq and thats not fun
GameAmazon : your reputation as a fighter goes down
GameAmazon : even if you LOST by ko
GameAmazon : if you get DQ thats even worse
WinterSprings992 : yea
WinterSprings992 : i know im gonna kick sometime
blueeyesblackhrt : yes
GameAmazon : especially... low blows
WinterSprings992 : i almost did today
GameAmazon : oh christ
GameAmazon : if you kick you're in shit man
blueeyesblackhrt : Dairy Queen can mess with your weight
WinterSprings992 : thats worse than a lowblow
WinterSprings992 : i need to work on not kicking
GameAmazon : a kick....
GameAmazon : I wonder if thats a dq, I doubt it
GameAmazon : but an instant point reduction I believe
WinterSprings992 : yea i would think so
WinterSprings992 : thats 100% agasint boxing rules
GameAmazon : yeah
WinterSprings992 : a low blow could be an accident
GameAmazon : you got it
GameAmazon : most are.
GameAmazon : headbutts, beware of headbutts
WinterSprings992 : yea
GameAmazon : a headbutt can mean a downfall of your record
WinterSprings992 : yep and the judges will take points off
GameAmazon : actually I mean if its accidental
GameAmazon : pending on your opponent's cut or yours
GameAmazon : it may be stopped
WinterSprings992 : yea
WinterSprings992 : i wana have a good rep
WinterSprings992 : as a fighter
GameAmazon : I can just imagine you being headbutted someday, christ o mighty
GameAmazon : I only pray you know how to score up points
blueeyesblackhrt : BRUCE LEE
GameAmazon : points is how aggressive you are, how many more punchers yo hit with than your opponent
GameAmazon : sometimes headbutts are beyond your control and doctors stop the fights so fast nowadays
GameAmazon : not like the 50s
GameAmazon : people got headbutt "KEEP FIGHTIN"
GameAmazon : now you get al il scratch
WinterSprings992 : haha
GameAmazon : "STOP THU FIGHT"
GameAmazon : its insane
WinterSprings992 : yea
WinterSprings992 : tyson headbutted mcbride
GameAmazon : son of a bitch
WinterSprings992 : and his cut was bleeding
GameAmazon : I heard he almost broke mcbride's arm
WinterSprings992 : yea
GameAmazon : now thats an example winter, something I noticed about Tyson
GameAmazon : Tyson... was a FEROCIOUS person
GameAmazon : in the street he would KILL you
GameAmazon : in the ring he would destroy you
GameAmazon : in his YOUTH
GameAmazon : but...
GameAmazon : he started gettin lazy
GameAmazon : and when it came to fighting people like Evander and Leenox
GameAmazon : I saw his HEART was not into it
GameAmazon : I don't know why but... I guess he didn't have it
WinterSprings992 : yea
GameAmazon : and when I saw him like cryin on the stool against Lennox lewis
GameAmazon : he was like
GameAmazon : all fucked up
GameAmazon : i n the brain
WinterSprings992 : the only reason why he was fighting again in the 1st place was to pay bills
GameAmazon : I was like ..."his career ended today"
GameAmazon : I mean in general, I mean shit... he just... doesn't have the heart to go with being blasted hard.
GameAmazon : and the fact is you DONT KNOW
GameAmazon : UNTIL YOU GET HIT
GameAmazon : BADLY
GameAmazon : and are being MENTALLY TWISTED TO SHIT
GameAmazon : by someone who is out punching you
WinterSprings992 : yea
GameAmazon : out powering you
GameAmazon : it can happen to anyone
GameAmazon : pending on what happens in the first few rounds
GameAmazon : so all I'm saying
GameAmazon : is instead of jumping into the pro ranks
GameAmazon : I suggest take a bit of time
GameAmazon : against opponents in the amateurs
WinterSprings992 : k
WinterSprings992 : how many matches?
GameAmazon : get a good exercise program going
WinterSprings992 : before i try pro
GameAmazon : Hm
WinterSprings992 : 20?
GameAmazon : I'll answer that pending on your EXPERIENC after 5 or 8 fights
blueeyesblackhrt : until you're confident
GameAmazon : we need to see how you do
GameAmazon : EXACTLY
WinterSprings992 : k
GameAmazon : blue got it
WinterSprings992 : yea:-)
GameAmazon : AND when you feel prepared
blueeyesblackhrt : until you feel you can take them on
GameAmazon : pro... is just that, pro
GameAmazon : people go into pro togive it their all
GameAmazon : amateurs is to mess around
GameAmazon : sure theres good fighters there
WinterSprings992 : i gotta work on getting rid of my kickboxing ways
GameAmazon : but pro can be big.
GameAmazon : yeah so I suggest pending on how many fights you can get
GameAmazon : get more experience
GameAmazon : you got to get out of thek ick boxing scene
GameAmazon : UNLESS You're gonna be a kick boxer again which if you like boxing I wouldn't recommend
WinterSprings992 : noone remembers kickboxers
GameAmazon : boxing, more $, sometimes easier, and less danger.
GameAmazon : and precisely
GameAmazon : one mor ething
GameAmazon : with the money you do get
GameAmazon : I recommend to begin watching boxing tapes
GameAmazon : And ESPN Friday Night Fights
WinterSprings992 : k
GameAmazon : every friday, 9pm
GameAmazon : You can hear the commentators, see how pro goes
GameAmazon : you MAY...
GameAmazon : want to find a boxing gym
GameAmazon : somewhere
GameAmazon : and maybe you'll find a good trainer
GameAmazon : see all these things
WinterSprings992 : i found my trainer
GameAmazon : you neewd to experience with
GameAmazon : er, need
WinterSprings992 : lol
GameAmazon : in my opinion
GameAmazon : I think you're great
GameAmazon : but
GameAmazon : I don't know you
GameAmazon : and your experience needs toning
WinterSprings992 : yea
GameAmazon : BUT YOU GOT CONFIDENCE AND THATS GREAT
GameAmazon : some people goT BUTTERFLIES WHEN THEY'RE IN THAT RING
GameAmazon : AND WHEN THEY BEGIN TO GET BLASTED BY SOMEONE WITH SKILL AND CONFIDENCE
GameAmazon : ITS OVER THEN MAN
WinterSprings992 : yea
GameAmazon : you MUST get more experience
GameAmazon : amateurs is the best thing for you
WinterSprings992 : when i was learning kickboxing
