Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

My nikka over here with the Manny Pacquiao special with all them excuses



Fr tho is the Coach a real boxing guy or a Personal trainer who watched some YouTube videos or even worse MMA

I mean, he ain’t say much about that. He’s some PR dude in his early-mid 40s so I can assume he can box. Lowkey getting a scumbag vibe from dude cause I can tell it’s also like a fitness hustle for him with boxing as the base, but I’m naturally a skeptic.

Apart from that he said he was tapped in with some MMA shyt and could get us started fighting amateur if we wanted

Dude was aight he touched on technique a bit but it was moreso of a conditioning workout with boxing drills as the base.

I was expecting a lot more time refining the punches and shyt. We learned the jab, hook, and cross in like 45 mins. I learned a lot more technique stuff from YouTube on my own before the class he ain’t even mention. Like how on the jab your shoulder should touch your cheek. And how every punch should start from the feet, with torque coming from the waist.

But it’s better than nothing, might as well try it out. Already gave dude 129, at worst I learn some bad habits in 4 classes that I can work out when I move to an area where there’s an actual boxing gym around

The Moussa Gholam fight on the DAZN card was hard.

Dont really understand why the Argentinian guys corner threw the towel in with about 30 seconds to go though.

 

[aceboon]

Just wait until they fight.

Valdez not beating Shakur, as u seen last night shyt is different when you not fighting a zombie, come forward pressure fighter, Shakur would box circles around him. Hell, Adam Lopez was giving him all he could handle.

IDK breh, bad habits can be hard to drop for some people. I think if you paying to learn how to box, you getting ripped off if its not in a actual boxing gym

No ring, you don't know if the trainer has actually fought...sounds fugazi asf. For reference I pay my trainer 250ish a month but he a undefeated pro and pushes the fukk out of me and its one on one training and I can use the gym as well. we also train 4 times a week so it works out to like 16 a hour. I do get a small discount cuz we homies but still it sound like you pay 35 or so a hour? I think what you doing sounds kind of a wash to actually learn how to box. Unless he a fighter or has some proof people he trained are nice you getting robbed


even if breh was a world class trainer you aint learning how to box by doing it a hour a week anyway. Nevermind the time you'd need to put it to get your boxing wind as well.

Damn, well there’s a no refunds policy so I guess I’m fukked

Kinda locked into this shyt now, imma just have to do it for the cardio and not take the shyt seriously

you can make the best of it I guess but yeah don't try to learn a discipline in a place thats not focused on it lol. Would you go to a BBJ school and ask them to teach you how to box? and they actually fighting

He certainly playing yaw cuz its basically impossible to even employ the shyt you would learn if he was teaching you well because ya'll would have non existent wind. boxing cardio is wayyyyyy different from any other type of shyt.

Gonna see if I can make up the difference by doing YouTube boxing drills in the mirror everyday


You think I should check out this MMA gym near me while I’m at it? They have boxing classes and a ring, at least the head boxing coach there has 18 years experience training pro and amateur boxers. But it seems like the same shyt (one of those “fitness gyms”) with more people, except the guy in charge has actual verifiable experience.

This is what I get for tryna be lazy and go for the convenient shyt, never again SMH

I shoulda knew something was up when dude ain’t even mention bringing a mouth guard.

Where you at where they don't got a legit gym though?

OC, it’s nothing but BJJ and MMA/Kickboxing stuff around here.

No actual boxing gyms near me. The closest ones are at least 30 miles away. That’s super inconvenient.

Until you can get in front of somebody who really knows what theyre doing I wouldn't fukk with that yt shyt. Its not like learning a dance or something from yt its so many lil intricacies with striking that if you start bad habits can get you fukked up for a long time fixing them. I'd go with the gym where nikkas actually are fighters 100% of the time. worst comes to worst you learn some actual combat shyt from folks who live n breath it.

Yeah I might not even go to this damn BS class again and just chop it up to the game. The worst thing I need right now are even more bad habits cause I been doing the Yt shyt for like 3-4 weeks so far

stop that now habibi would you learn how to shoot from youtube? thats basically what you doing trying to learn how to fight off of it, you can get the bare bare basics but promise me you doing some shyt thats wrong that a trained eye will pick up on. I'm really fast and my trainer can immediately catch when I'm doing wrong or lazy shyt like not turning over my punches or flaring my elbows out a lil on 1s. Its small stuff like that that can save your life if you ever had to actually fight someone way harder to stop a punch going in a straight line than a flared one and if you train with out that guidance starting out even if you only fukking up 10% boxing is all muscle memory so eventually ya mechanics gon be attuned to that.

My mechanics are already fukked as it is. I learned everything I know from YouTube gurus. Bought a footwork course from this dude for 350.



And then I bought a punching course from this dude for 100



Imma just stop boxing for the time being. Gonna see if I can make it out in the next few weeks to a legit boxing gym an hour away and see if I can get a session in. Just to correct some of the damage I’ve already done.

Fukk this class too, imma ask dude for a refund anyways.
