Like boxing doesnt discipline these guys. they do it for the wrong reasons and make fun of new guys. Most of the other people at the gym hate them. has anybody here had to share the gym with these type of people.

  1. I'm 14 (years old) and 115 pounds. I started boxing because my dad thought I was a natural inside boxer. I joined a gym and a 15 year old 135 pounder challenged me to a 'friendly' match which would by my first boxing match ever. His official record is (not including friendly games) 9 wins 2 ties 0 losses (He never lost a friendly game either.)

    Even though I never boxed, I knew basic strategy, etc.

    I decided to let him have the first round (make him think I am a brawler). The second round bell rang and I ran out gave him a 1-3 and KO'ed him. The next day he pretended nothing happened. LOL!


  2. Too many times. I always ignored 'em though. I didn't have to prove anything to those loudmouths.

  3. Where the h**l is the coach? That is one big problem today coaches are afraid of  losing their star players, the heck with that if a kid brags in my gym I shut him up respectfully of course, I tell him if he really is that good people will brag for you. No need for all that c**p it makes me sick to my stomach. Let your gift of being an athlete attract the right people, and let people be the judge.

  4. Well, I don't like to brag or anything, but I kinda am the beast at my gym... jk.

  5. No. Everyone is rather mature in my gym. All the sparring is done with a good attitude.

  6. Yep, they usually pick their targets knowingthat they will have the upperhand in the sparring session. Had one in my gym, who actually hurt me. Stepped up my training, that also incuded training at another gym.. for some reason he was no longer interested in sparring me again....

  7. I always thought that the head trainer at a gym would put the cocky guy in the ring with the best guy just to teach a lesson.

  8. i do. he talks but wont step in the ring with me  cause when we do i give him a workin over

  9. this guy....
