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.

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.
@adamrichardson87643 жыл бұрын
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.

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?
@FullTimeFootballNI9 ай бұрын
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 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.

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 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?
@FullTimeFootballNI5 жыл бұрын
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.

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.
