As soon as the fight starts adopt the fetal position in the corner of the ring.

Then emit a high pitched cry - something like a cat might if it was being raped by an elephant. Your opponent will be so disgusted she might just leave you alone.

Hey,
I've been training for about 10 years on and off and fought as a pro. My advice is to be fit. Good technique will get you fans but fitness will win the fight. Keep it simple. Work off the jab, get a strong round house and learn how to knee. Practice left jab right straight and right kick on the bag until you can do it in your sleep. When you're tired in the ring and feeling pain knowing how to work a simple combination will get you out of trouble.Don't give up if you get beat. Work on what you need to work on. Try out a few gyms. I tried 2 gyms before i found a good trainer.
The last thing is want to win. The fight will last 5 round depending on the rules but it is won in training. Step into the ring like it is where you belong and it is the only place you ever want to be. Good luck

Cheers,

am just about to head out the door for it. Got a flu on Thursday, so my fitness isn't great at the moment, but the fight is only 3x2 minute rounds, so hopefully I'll be able to last that.

Left, right, roundhouse is the one drill that we do every single night in training.

Anyway, thanks to everyone for their words of support and advice.

Even if you don't beat them right away, you'll get them down with the flu later. He who laughs last, laughs longest. 😉

I always thought that the one who laughed last was the slowest one to get the joke.

I think "bag kicking" is against the rules.

That's no contradiction.

Depends on your definition of "alive". Are carrots alive? If that qualifies in your book, then he's just fine.

You mean he is orange and sounds like a parrot?

The way you put it makes it sound like he is in a vegetative state with an orange body cast.😲

Well, I'm sure a lot of you will be delighted to hear that I took a hammering, with the fight stopped by a TKO in the 3rd round.

Now, I'm off out to get pished.
