Had a set of boxing gloves as a kid and a punching bag. Basically pre-school age. Only person I fought was my dad as he was supposedly teaching me how to box. Didn't much like it, seemed like a trap.

I’m a five-eight light weight. Boxing for me would have been about as successful as basketball.
I did wrestle in HS. I made varsity almost immediately. Not because I was good because I was not. But because I was the only guy in the weight class. And I got my ass handed to me nearly every match. |

I tried boxing.
Found I did not like being hit. Didn't seem to have much other choice. My trainer is an MMA guy. It is interesting to see the level of talent that occurs in those people. |

Pads or no pads getting kicked hard in the face, balls or shins or pretty much anywhere hurts pretty bad. you don’t just get up like in the movies unless you’re all that.

Nah, the ONLY kind of boxing I ever got into was making cabinets from kitchens to baths, to stereo speakers, and electronic gear.....

It also helped that my opponent was not allowed to hit me in the balls or shins. I was in good shape, and could take hits to the body with those pillows constantly for 9 minutes, and it wouldn't bother me at all. In other words, it was nothing like a "street fight". I won a lot more than I lost in the club, but I was smart enough to know that didn't mean shit in a real fight. :yesond: |

My little brother and I....one year apart ....didn't have the money to buy gloves so we used our socks...IRC it was three per hand, two wrapped around and one over. I remember we had some rules ...no face shots and no nut shots...but both were unavoidable lol. That lasted about a week before my dad spotted all the bruising...since I was the oldest...I got my ass kicked by him....I guess he didn't want the competition from who was doling out the beatings in the house...
