Fair play to you for giving in a go in the ring. Once you step inside the ropes it is for real, you are on your own. In the ring you are vulnerable and exposed and under attack both mentally and physically, its a competitive battle. Congratulations and well done, it takes courage to get into the boxing ring.

[@FullTimeFootballNI]

Thank you very much, mate. Much appreciated.

[@theroosterdiaries9922]

Thanks for the smiles and insight🤗 You may of lost but to me you’re a winner👍 GL.

[@paulm6652]

Just come across this because I'm thinking about doing it myself. Great video fella. You got in a ring and fought. Plenty kudos for that. Think I may well sign up off the back of this. Just need to tell the wife it's all ok.. 😁

[@dandalf6256]

Respect bro. I think id feel exactly the same way watching mine back if I could bring myslef to do it.

[@ladonmetal5132]

I signed up.....gonna be fighting myself. I feel you did super well, you harsh on yourself, you can be proud.

[@FullTimeFootballNI]

Thank you, man. I appreciate it. Best of luck to you with your journey, dude!

[@olzarius]

Huge respect brother. Just starting my journey this week. Thank you for the insight

[@chrisbourne4687]

I did this in 2019...no previous experience and was absolutely terrified. The fitness side of it was amazing. Never been in such good shape. Nerves got better of me on the night. Still managed the 3 rounds but lost on points i guess to definitely a better fighter.

[@FullTimeFootballNI]

The important thing is that you got in there and you did it, dude. Not many can say that they had the stones to get in there.

[@frankiesummer4989]

Great video mate well done and respect to you putting it up, I just signed up to do one so it's nice to watch your experience

[@FullTimeFootballNI]

Thank you, mate. Really appreciate it. That's awesome man! Trust me, you'll get a lot out of it and its gor a good cause. Absolute win-win.

[@clemfarley7257]

Nothing to apologize for. It takes guts to get into a ring. I respect anyone who gets in there. The dude had more experience. I wouldn’t be shocked if someone who saw that fight were to work with you for 1-2 months and the next fight were to be a lot closer.

[@Phystle]

Quality. Respect for posting this man 👍

Thank you, mate. Appreciate it.

[@rigs-ot3ul]

Got my fight on the 11th of September this year bit nervous but very excited big respect for getting in a ring for a great charity

[@ArifAli-bg1mb]

Well done sir for your courage to participate.

[@hayleighritchings8713]

Unfair fight, the guy In the red has clearly had a fight before and had been training longer than 8 weeks. You were at an immediate disadvantage, they should match people with similar skill set which is what they advertise.

[@adamrichardson8764]

I don’t think he’s fought before. Definitely not in boxing. Can’t imagine a licensed gym would let him compete, but he probably has had experience in boxing. His movement was okay, not from a technical point of view but he definitely understood movement to a degree. Perhaps a Tae Kwon Do background or something similar. His punching was not technical at all though. I don’t think it was unfair, I think the guy in red just understood movement more and overwhelmed the guy in blue a little.

[@craigelliott4338]

I'm about to make a video about my experience too. I watched this before I signed up, and now I'm going back in for another.

[@FullTimeFootballNI]

Good stuff, mate! I look forward to seeing it.

[@Kiran-ye7ix]

This looks sick, I'm planning to start soon and I can't wait! You should try Ultra MMA

[@FullTimeFootballNI]

Best of luck to you, lad! Hope it all goes well for you.

[@karolspeight1968]

Well done pal. Takes serious bottle to do that and in all fairness that opponent looked like he has 💯 boxed before. I’m considering doing one in April but a bit fearful

[@FullTimeFootballNI]

Thank you, mate. I appreciate it. Hell yes man, absolutely go for it! Honestly, the hardest part is signing up.

[@thekingofbros5636]

Bro it's fine , you did great it was your first fight plus it was for charity so money was still donated

[@FullTimeFootballNI]

I appreciate the kind words.

Fair play, that looked like a tough opponent you had there my man

[@FullTimeFootballNI]

He was absolutely the better man. All the credit in the world to him.

[@Patok2000]

I just did this, it’s a lot harder than it looks if you go in on 0 experience! I lost on points but faced someone with 3 previous fights but it was a really close fight and people said it could’ve gone either way

[@tommamic4332]

Opponent looks like at least amateur fighter or someone who's been very long in boxing. Well done mate 👏

[@bilbobaggins761]

I’ve got a fight coming up but I’m not worried about getting in the ring at all just being in front the crowd lmao 😂

[@Yep-h9g]

Respect to you mate

[@steviesells8]

👏👏💪 First and foremost I take my hat of to you well done. I'm going to induction night on 28th March and my fight is 22nd May in Glasgow. Im exited to lose weight and gain a new skill, but also terrified. Is there any advice you wish you had before your fight.

[@FullTimeFootballNI]

That's awesome, dude! Honestly, by signing up to do it, you've done the hardest part. All it is now is just having a laugh and putting your all into it. If there was one thing I wish I had done was find a sparring partner outside of training, so as to make things feel more natural instead of having to stop and try to remember how to throw certain combinations. You'll get so much out of it, mate. Plus it's all for a good cause, so you cant ask for anything more than that.

[@TheCulio]

Very good video bro. have you continued boxing since?

[@FullTimeFootballNI]

As much as I would have loved to, there's just nowhere really to where I live that would be handy to get to, unfortunately. Would have liked to continue to train but not to actually fight, if that makes sense.

[@elfynwilliams1280]

Fair play mate, it takes guts to step in there! And even more testicular fortitude to make this video 😂

[@FullTimeFootballNI]

Thank you, bud! Really appreciate it.

[@PotHead2390]

2 days a week training was your issue bro fair play to u though mate takes some balls to get in the ring

[@FullTimeFootballNI]

Thank you, bud! Really nice of you to say.

[@peterwowfan]

I have one of these fights in april and my training starts in February so I thought I'd watch some UWCB and I must say dispite having a couple of months before even training begins I'm feeling nervous. How did you deal with nerves when you did it?

[@FullTimeFootballNI]

Yes mate! Fair play to you for putting yourself forward to do it. That's honestly the hardest part of the whole experience done. To be honest, that was one of things I was most worried about when I signed up, but the very first night put any of those fears aside. The way I looked at it was that everyone was there for a common goal which was to raise money, not to hurt anyone else. At the end of the day, a good 90% of the people there had never pulled on a pair of gloves before so everyone is starting at the same level. The more comfortable you get with your training, the more confidence you'll gain and the nerves will subside significantly.

[@xxyeezy1213]

What city are you training in mate?

[@FullTimeFootballNI]

I trained in Belfast for this, my dude.

[@boxing.clever]

Only just found this post. Respect to you mate. Anyone who gives you shit, just ask how many times have they stepped into the ring? lol You can always say you’ve done it now, and the money raised is getting really high now. Good man 👊🏼

[@FullTimeFootballNI]

Thank you, buddy! I appreciate the kind words. Would love to do it again and try to give a better showing, but as you say, its more about the cause than anything else and that was the important thing.

[@boxing.clever]

@@FullTimeFootballNI Absolutely. For me, it was a bucket-list thing, as I’d always regretted not getting into boxing as a kid. I’d also say that to be fair, you came up against someone who looked very assured. Can’t imagine that was his first time by a long stretch. Get back in mate, and put out an update when you do. I’ll donate 👍🏼 take it easy mate

[@Kiran-ye7ix]

Would you recommend getting boxing shoes? I'm currently wearing regular trainers and they're allowed during the fight

[@FullTimeFootballNI]

Truth be told mate, I just wore trainers and they did the job the very best. Unless you're planning on continuing with boxing afterwards then I'd forego the expense, personally.

[@MrDana93]

Theres no way your opponent only started boxing 8 weeks before this fight. If he did he missed his calling in life.

[@bjr9257]

respect

[@yungthug2403]

When you do the sparring who are you sparring? Other people who joined white collar? Or like people who have been doing amateur boxing for years? Also where is it? Do you join any random local boxing gym for training? Or do they have their own sort of facility with coaches and stuff just for white collar joiners?

[@FullTimeFootballNI]

So, for myself and my group, we were sparring with each other. You have your coaches there to guide you and help you out, but as far as sparring goes, they'll generally pair you up with someone who is of similar build and experience when possible. As for where your training takes place, when you sign up they will send you all of the relevant information, such as where you'll train, what time, what days, etc. For us, it was a leisure centre in the middle of Belfast.

[@yungthug2403]

@@FullTimeFootballNI ahhh I see thank you so much for the reply, seems fair enough. With the sparring is it like full on? Or light sparring or what?

[@FullTimeFootballNI]

@@yungthug2403 The first few sessions are basically catered to how to throw a punch correctly, before incorporating the likes of hooks and body shots. In regards to sparring, the intensity builds session to session, with the last one being the most intense. Even at that, we were encouraged to hold back a bit, so about 70% maximum. It is for charity, after all. No need to beat the head off each other.

[@barryh4801]

Your opponent has been training for longer then 8weeks

[@hamzaisa3130]

100% ha ha its a serious miss match

[@beauhalliday9496]

what sort of cardio did you do ? i really want to give it ago but my main concern is ill get gassed aswell and then get batterd

[@FullTimeFootballNI]

There was a lot of running involved, bud. Our warmup involved about ten minutes of non-stop running with intermittent sprints. Then of course there's the sparring which is enough on its own. To be honest, I thought I'd be gassed after a minute, but the adrenaline kicks in and you really don't feel any tiredness until afterwards.

I’m doing this next week. Covid19 has seen 3 shows cancelled for me. It has been so frustrating but what a journey so far. Any advise as I’m nervous as hell.

[@FullTimeFootballNI]

Great to hear, mate! Good stuff. Honestly, the only real advice I can give is to just enjoy it. Sounds ridiculously cliché I know, but its true. Just take the day as it comes. Don't think about the fight itself too much. You don't want to become fixated on it. Apart from that, just stay hydrated and relax. Once you're out there, the adrenaline will take over and you won't even have the capacity to be nervous. You'll smash it, lad.

First UWCB fight in like 2 weeks as a beginner, starting to feeling nervous, how did you deal with it

[@FullTimeFootballNI]

That's great, mate! Glad to hear you're giving it a go. Honestly, the hard bit is done. The most nerve-wracking part is committing to do it, and you've done that. The very first night will get rid of any lingering nerves, man. Once you see that everyone is in the same boat in regards to experience, it's nowhere near as intimidating. As cliche as it sounds, my advice would be to just enjoy it and throw yourself into it. I guarantee you will get something out of it and it's all for a great cause, at the end of the day. You'll smash it, lad.
