BoxRec

There's knowledgeable people down there! Don't you ask them ??
Can't remember the big old black guys name down there fola or somthing, main trainer he knows his boxing.most important thing is to pay attention to the people around you, who train you. Listening to outside opinions shows lack of focus & concentration on your craft.if you ain't happy at a club & don't feel they believe in you then you leave & find somewhere or someone who matches your enthusiasm.

Sometimes you have to speak up to be heard in a gym, tell them you want to spar another round & complain it's all passion & they soon try & get you bashed up ha

Mr Aki ... I hope his first name is not "Purple" ?

like my son you look like the tin man in the wizard of oz on the bags n shadow but once the bell rings(sparring) you look a different animal..you will benefit no end down at all stars..loads of their kids are slick n well schooled..loads of different styles..best advice i can give you is to stay whete you are cos youv'e done well to get to 6n 0 but what i find is loads of kids get to ten or so on strength alone then lose a couple n fade away..the real success stories in boxing for me are the kids who stick at it as ams win or lose..as long as your not gettin bashed box every week if ya can.well done n keep it up..experience is everything at your age. u

Haha i am bit square on the bag lool thanks mate it means alot and i will stick at it i love boxing even from a young age i have wanted to be a fighter i don't think the passion will ever fade lol

Yeah have to admit, you do look a bit rubbish when you're on the bags or shadow boxing but you look a lot better when you're actually sparring. It's a strange one lol.

The affordable boxing gym is a wonderful place to stay healthy, learn and socialise and more people should try it out, than pay ridiculous sums to David Lloyd etc.

People are far more welcoming and less-judgemental in a boxing gym, than yor typical £60 per month trendy gyms.

The wank bank and fornicate opportunities at David Lloyds are worth the monthly fees

I was knackered when i was on the bag and shadow boxing i usually warm up skip then spar then after work the bag and shadow box lol

As others have said you look far more relaxed sparring than on the bag or shadow boxing; you look to have a strong right hand swing but need your elbows in tighter and more left hand punches

Columbo - did you start at the gym? You were threatening to month or so ago.
