Any feedback from boxers over 40?

Question

I am interested in hearing from anyone who is over 40 and boxing! Please tell what it is like for you, your workouts, any sparring, and whether you have actual matches. By the way, thanks to Tyrone who told me about Masters Boxing for older folks. I want to hear about real experiences boxing from people over 40! (I am 58, in good health, and thinking about starting in boxing.)

Answer 1

I am glad to hear that you are in good shape but you are not in boxing shape not that you can,t do it I would not recommend it . I am over 40 and I train pro boxers and I spar with them some times let me tell you when one of these young 23 year old hit you on the jaw you know that your time is up. I do the same work out as the kids do so I am in shape and I can dance the dance but why I don,t have anything to prove and neither do you I say work out and spar if you want to but make sure your not sparing with some kid who is trying to take your head off good luck

Answer 2

ur 58? just hit the bag. youll never be able to fight. u'll have to go straight into open division, 21 and over ppl. they'll kill you.
