Any boxers on here?

[mangojace]

So who does boxing on here? I personally love it. Great fun, teaches you discipline and keeps you fit :)

[langy88]

I used to do mauy Thai but I had to give it up because of work commitments, I regret giving it up.

Do you fight (in the ring) or just to keep fit?

[Nates-VTR]

Did boxing for two years, liked it but got bored went back to karate :) going for my brown belt in the next month or two, did like boxing good for stamina and keeping fit!

Muay thai looks good :y:

My mate has just got his pro licence afer ten years boxing, so he trains me all the time :) No fights at the minute, will be soon though.

[dannygti]

Done a bit of training myself never boxed though.
4 of my good friends are now professional boxers.
Ryan Aston, Richard Ghent, tommy Ghent, Lee glover. My mate Ryan is boxing on sat :)

[matt_vtr_15a]

Not boxing but used to do a lot of Muay Thai and the occasional BJJ session..

It's great imo, very physical and strength based especially when grappling (it's so tiring)

Would end up with some absolute shiners from training never mind sparring, all very good fun though!

Actually starting back soon however finding a new trainer as my old fighting club has gone downhill apparently..

[JamesR]

Boxed for 3 years upto now :)

[CraigLovelock]

Although, im looking to start some sort of martial arts because come summer im starting up Parkour and Tricking again :y:

Something like Tang Soo Do or TKD would be great to implement into tricking! - See this!

Kickboxed for a few years.

Done MMA on and off.

Was going to get into it properly in the summer but I'm going to do Krav Maga instead, the ultimate to real fighting

Nice one dude :y: How many times a week do you train? And you fight too?

[SaxoVTR2008]

I've boxed for 10 years! But been slacking past year..

[JamesR]

Nice one dude :y: How many times a week do you train? And you fight too?

Was about 4 times a week for a long time, started Ju Jitsu (Japanese) as well about a year ago so it's down to 2 nights a week, I've had a couple of bouts yeah :)

[Dizzy]

I do Muay Thai. Started out western boxing and got bored, tried MMA and couldnt risk the injuries so now I train pure Muay Thai. Hope to have a pro fight before the end of the year :)

Thanks for the link man!

Just starting it really, used to be a gymnast for like 11 years so seems easy to move to, however it sort of goes against everything i have been taught!

Good fun though!

[666saxo666]

This type of thing is what really pisses me off....

As far as i can work out most of the above are not 'boxers' or 'mma fighters' all you do is occasionally hit a punch bag or have a wrestle with a mate. No1 has gone toe to toe with someone with the potential to get knocked out.

Sorry to be seen to be havin a go but in life it seems if your not a boxer your a professional football player. Wheres karl pilkington aka bullshit man when ya need him.

p.s. I did boxing at uni last year, i trained. did bagwork, spa'd with other lads. Am i a boxer? No and neither are most of the above.

[McGuire86]

Who are you directing that at ??

[666saxo666]

No1 in particular. Im just generalising. People may have boxed properly in this thread. But im just sayin there is a major difference between hitting a punch bag and goin toe to toe with someone.

[Dizzy]

I dont think anyone on here claims to be a fighter of any description. Everyone posted has said they train a specific art but thats it. I think I'm the only competing fighter, and even I didn't say I'm a fighter?

[dannygti]

I don't get your point? To me it's quite obvious there's a big difference but there's no one in this thread who do bags and claiming to be able to beat pro fighters? Or am I missing something?

[666saxo666]

Its just the title of the thread is ' any boxers on here ' . And my point is the answer is probably no once you sift out the bs.

[dannygti]

Again, not sure what your annoyed about? If someone said, 'has anyone got a corsa vxr' you will always get people saying, their brother has one, their mare has one etc.. As far as I'm aware no one has been 'bs''ting?

[mangojace]

I get where your coming from dude :y:

[Dizzy]

A better title would have been 'does anybody go boxing training' if you want to get pedantic.

[jw1325]

I used to train, from when I was 13 - 15.

I was the perfect build for a boxer - tall, chunky, with massive shoulders. My mums ex boyfriend took me along to a training session one day and I was absolutley hooked. I loved it. I was really fit, with muscles I never knew I had. But it came to the point where I was ready to fight, but I was going to have to chose between the boxing and the horses.

Fate intervened though - a horse broke my jaw and I couldn't fight as it was too delicate. I was completley devestated and I went off the rails as I was angry as hell over it. Looking back now, I wish I had chosen boxing as horseriding is such ann expensive sport, I could be much further with the boxing than I ever have been with the horses.

I went back to training for a while but it isn't the same! I had no motivation as I wasn't working towards anything. Really fancy going back now that I've got to grips with the fact I won't fight and will just be doing it to lose weight.

It teaches you good discipline. I loved it. And I'd kill for my boxing body back.

I'm registered with the Amateur Boxing Association, licensed to box, had 5 amatuer fights, won them all

How am I not a boxer :wacko:

I get what you mean in a way everyone and their goldfish are "Cage fighters" or "Do that UFC stuff" these days and that does annoy me, I have known people to come into my boxing gym, stay for one night and then never return yet start blabbing all over Facebook about how good they are and who they sparred tonight when I know they weren't there. Very strange that people feel the need to big themselves up.

[Frankay]

Trained shotokan for 8 years, got to 2nd dan and then give up sadly. Done quite well in Kumite (Fighting) in british championships, came 3rd when i was about 14, then 5th from ages of 18-21

[darrenh84]

simply...who gives a shit ?? :-> like i say to everyone.... if your the hardest best fighter in the world does that make you a better man or woman than the next person.... whoope doo , and to you 666....your getting butt hurt because of what exactly ??? If someone wants to pretend theyre the next best thing let them go for it...does it fucking hurt anybody ???

If you all want to have a laugh @ a wannable then everyone just go look up videos of Charlie Z on youtube this dude : Charlie Zelenoff Drops Floyd Mayweather Sr, Wins By TKO!!!!!!!!!!! - YouTube

[JamesR]

^ What's with the proper aggression? No one is claiming to be the hardest person in the world, the OP simply asked who amongst us boxed?

It's just a sport at the end of the day, if the thread was "Who plays for a Sunday league team?" would you start with the "If your the most skilled, best football player in the world, does that make you better than the next person!?"

I don't think so, just chill out man.

Never, ever in my time boxing did I ever go to the spa with the lads.

Proper gay that. Did the bigger boys bum you in the mud room?

Me and the lads sparred, and talked about man things, like who's mum was the biggest MILF.

[666saxo666]

I said most of the above. The odd few may of done this and that. I was also just sayin about people in general. If you have properly fought then fair play to you.

And as for the guy above. Nice attempt at bein funny i will give ya that. But in truth after training me an my mates regularly go for a swim/jacuzzi/steam room. I think you may be a bit insecure about your sexuality. Dont worry there are people who can help. I guess its even more evident when you need to talk about milfs to other men while boxing. To me it sounds like your all covering up the fact you want to get naked, butter each other up and wrestle there and then. Like i said dont worry people can help you.

hahaha..

Shut up you mug! - That's a girl... (However she is scottish)

Nobody in this thread claimed to 'fight' when they didn't etc... Infact most stated 'sessions' 'training' etc. so get off your high horse!

I haven't fought or claimed to, but I intend to get back into it for the enjoyment factor, fitness and social aspect.

[Dizzy]

64kg to 74kg... someone got fat lol.

[SaxoVTR2008]

64kg to 74kg... someone got fat lol.

No way! I just went from a 15 year old to a 20 year old now, you know.. People actually grow!

[Dizzy]

ha ha, Im trying to get down to a 73kg fight weight, hard when I used to be 90kg! Feel so much better for it though.

[JamesR]

I'm currently hovering around the 96kg mark, I'd rather be a lot less though as the damage that can be done at heavyweight is pretty bad, but I aint complaining really (I'm not as slow / a lump as you might imagine I'm just very tall)

[jw1325]

I'm comfertable with my sexuality.

And as above, I am female. Not the most feminine mind, but the evidence is there....

Let the seedy comments commence...

Id be interested to see this evidence?

[GaryKiddd]

I used to do a bit of boxing myself, you simply won't get better training than you do at boxing. The fitness is immense. I was never really good at the boxing part, I just used to love going for the fitness.

[JamesR]

I second this - There probably are places and strength and conditioning programs that are better but in general, boxing training is tough and if you're looking to get into shape will be 1000% better than running on a treadmill or a cross trainer or something stupid, you will be dead by the end of a good session down a boxing gym, but it gets addictive :)

[SaxoVTR2008]

The only reason Ive really stopped boxing is that all the years I've been there.. The training has been exactly the same, nothing different.. So not only is it boring I'm not getting fitter either..
Plus one of these polish lads who are shit at boxing thinks he runs the club now, 2 guys from the club boxed the other day and both got knocked out.. That's how shit it is now

[jw1325]

You're about 2 years in the past mate.

Everyone else on here has got over the fact I have tits and a cave.

[scot-ish]

A big cave at that.

[jw1325]

A big cave at that.

Gosh when did you get a go? can't recall it!

[matt_vtr_15a]

Mancave..

[scot-ish]

Gosh when did you get a go? can't recall it!

its common knowledge that pink haired horsey chicks have got big caves. :clapping:

[DusheR]

Bah, what an idiot eh.

Tits and a cave sounds like a good day out at the beach...

[e8_pqck]

Samw with bodybuilding - every tom dick and harry was a bodybuilder.

Are you a pornstar just because you have sex!

as for boxing, i've just requested that our new gym has a heavy bag a speedball so i can belt it a few times, not planning on phoning up floyd for a fight, just for fitness.

so what are your routines? and any tips?

[666saxo666]

Well said. Like i said earlier in the thread if your not phoning floyd for a fight your phoning sir alex about your contract.

[jw1325]

+1.

When my mate trains me we do sparring, sit ups with a medicine ball, push ups, resistance band training, heavy bag work, punching sit ups, punching with dumbells and so on, its a good work out.

I used to think trackdays were addictive but nothing beats boxing. When i am not boxing im running, hopefully have a few bouts later on in the year.

Just looking forward to my mates pro debut fight in London in april, will be a big one.

[scot-ish]

Right, since there is a few boxers in here.

any tips for a quick bag routine/circuit bodyweight tho.

in the morning i run 3 mile on treadmill, then looking to do a 20 min cardio on the bag but incorporate a circuit, cant be heavy weights, as i now like at 5pm the same night, and dont wanna overtrain.

cheers.

[IrelandVTR]

I train in kickboxing and I love it, Preparing for my first fight which should be soon. My trainer was a 2x Irish champion so getting top notch workouts :y:

[DeanAngell1234]

Did kickboxing for 8 years, haven't done it for a couple of years due to my job but I'm hoping to get back into it!

[McGuire86]

Yeah kickboxing is great. I did it for a few years, we would 'warm up' for an hour before we did any form of fighting lol

[DeanAngell1234]

I used to train in the junior class for an hour, then straight after train with the adults for 2 (I was only 14 at the time haha) as they wanted to condition me for when I was older..... It worked, my confidence grew so much
