I puked the first time I went to a boxing gym. I thought I was pretty fit at the time too. They didn’t get us sparring though on the first night - just pushed us double hard.Coco wrote: ↑26 Jul 2022, 16:09Many a time, and quite rightly so, boxing isn't for everyone, they need to know what they are getting into.Frostieballs wrote: ↑26 Jul 2022, 15:59Have you ever seen a kid bent double, tk the point of vomiting on his first night at the gym?
I remember once I sparred a 16 year old first timer.
I told him he had to keep punching to keep me off. And that if he stopped punching I would start punching him back!
Fair play to him for 2 3 minute rounds he kept punching, I never actually punched him once.
He ran to be sick at the end of the second round.

Re: Sunny Edwards spars internet troll
I think it depends why your vomiting.
If it’s through exhaustion it’s one thing. If it’s from body punches it’s another!

Re: Sunny Edwards spars internet troll
I vomited on my first time at the gym, through exercise, the gym was run by ex Olympian Paddy Fitz , pretty famous club in Belfast , the Dockers. Absolutely no way shape or form would they make a first timer spar, or have them beaten to the point of vomiting to see if they're tough enough, pure horse shit, who throws a kid in to soar without teaching him anything about boxing?? You're a shit trainer and shouldn't be teaching
My uncle actually pulled his kid from a gym because he came out bragging about bashing some kid up in sparring on his first day. Turns out of course the gym was ran by some scumbag who just threw all the kids in to hit eachother
As for Edwards, he's a Kinahan man, which means he's a pre approved scumbag

Re: Sunny Edwards spars internet troll
Have never seen a first-timer spar, apart from one cocky teenager (coming from a taekwondo class) who begged for it and swiftly, uh, got a lot more of it than he wanted

I’ve seen people flung into a sparring session on the first day. It’s normally a local bully with a bad attitude. The coaches rightly believed they never come

I think any amateur gym shoving first timers into a spar should have their Sport England affiliation withdrawn.

You actually need a medical to spar now. And be named on the clubs list.... The England Boxing registered clubs are quite strict on it. The unlicensed boys, well....

Re: Sunny Edwards spars internet troll
Would the boxing board be not too impressed with a pro sparring someone who walks in off the street? I doubt they ( the gym)would be covered insurance wise
Re: Sunny Edwards spars internet troll
Told every lad who i ever had anything to do with all got told the same , It was , your ameteur ,, your only here 3-4nights a week for a couple hours at a time and two things have to happen .
1 st thing if i put you in too spar , and you don't know how to block , punch weave , throw a straight left throw a hook , and just don't know what to do , I'VE LET YOU DOWN .
2 --- If you get in that ring and come off second best because your UNFIT ,,,, YOU let me down ..

I always found Danny one of the better YT interviewers. He asks more difficult questions than the majority of others. However the messages with Charlie and Sonny’s sister are creepy as hell - particularly given it’s someone he’s never met/doesn’t know.
There’s been a few people who said how creepy he is and how they’re not surprised. Did he have previous with this kind of thing?!
