If you are a chubby 180, what is your goal weight? I have known boxers who lost quite a few in a row at the beginning and with perservence went on to become very successful boxers. I have also known others who won like 20 or 30 before losing their first and then never recovered. So don't fret over your first loss. Keep training and good luck on bout #2.

Thanks and my goal weight is 165. I was 201 and lost it all at first and have been stuck here for a while...and I am looking forward to #2
