It's not just technique, it's something more, that day the temperatures in the ring were between 40 and 49 degrees, I wonder how two men, mentally and physically, can continuously hit each other for 14 rounds in such heat, continuing to fight, it's incredible, most likely other boxers would have tried not to waste energy and to have a technical match so as not to get exhausted given the heat, but not them, they beat each other to death for 14 rounds, now that era is over, the current era and the recent one of Floyd Mayweather (whom I absolutely admire), is allowing us to make boxing a safer and more profitable sport, which on the one hand is a good thing, but I believe that what you see in those fights, that steely willpower, we will rarely see again, incredible.
I don't know if you understand what I'm talking about, but are you familiar with the right hand that Kronk Gym boxers use? Like Hearns, Lewis, and so on. I've noticed that it's not just any right hand; it has a sort of top-down motion, and when it hits, it's devastating. I'm a tall, slender boxer, so I wanted to learn how to use it. Do you have any advice on this type of punch? Any advice is welcome. Thanks to anyone who responds.
I'm a 15-year-old boxer. My problem isn't technique or reflexes, but rather that I'm still very shy in the ring. I tend to close my eyes often, hold back my punches, and take few risks for fear of being countered. Overcoming this would make me make a big leap. I want to ask, how did you manage to overcome this fear? Is it overcome overnight or does it take time?
I would need serious opinions and advice on what I'm about to say: I'm 15 years old (1.90 cm x 75 kg), I started boxing in October 2024 and I would first like to tell you about my initial boxing journey in a completely honest way: I immediately liked it and my teacher who even told my father that what he had seen in me he had never seen in anyone, I started sparring after 4 months, initially I was horrible, I kept my head down and did not even look my partner in the face, I immediately started to take beatings, once a guy took advantage of the fact that the teacher busy following boxers was not seeing us (the teacher was convinced that we were going slow), I did 8 rounds with him after being literally beaten, but I managed to resist, and from that day I loved boxing even more, both because I had understood how much it was a sport that pushes you beyond your limits and because I had managed to land a few punches, in the space of two months I improved a lot, receiving compliments from the teacher and Some of my classmates said I was learning quickly. After a while, I also started avoiding blows and hitting from a distance, remaining composed and fearless. I stopped doing it this summer due to anxiety issues. I came back in September and it took me a while to get back into the swing of things. Today, I had a fight and lost because of anxiety. I think my best qualities are reflexes, timing, speed in volume, precision (I tend to be very selective in the blows I land), and it's been a while since I've been able to block and deflect my blows. I also have good fluidity in my legs, making it possible to pivot and pivot naturally. My main weakness is that I still hold back before striking for fear of being hit. I still close my eyes. I work well on the counter but I'm still hesitant when it comes to attacking. I'm also very anxious about fighting. My coach said I need to have more confidence in myself because I have the potential for boxing. I love this sport so much and I train constantly, but I'm afraid I don't have the talent or that I'm not up to it. I would also like to be able to do it one day. Maybe I'll become a world champion and go to America to train as a professional boxer, but I'm afraid I might not have enough talent to reach certain levels. What do you think about this? Thanks so much to anyone who responds ♥️🥊
Vi è mai capitato di trovare improvvisamente super antipatico e trovare fastidioso tutto quello che fa o dice un vostro amico stretto che vedete tutti i giorni?

I box from the outside using my maximum extension. When we do tricks, my teammates feel the blows to the point that their hands hurt, but during sparring my blows don't hurt because I have difficulty using the maximum extension of my arms. I still box at long range but I can never use the maximum extension. Do you think I have power? What advice do you have?
I'm a boxer, 1,91 cm, 165 lbs. When I do tricks and try to box from a distance using my reach, my teammates get pain in their hands, and one even advised me to box from the outside because I'm explosive. In sparring, I box from a long distance, but I rarely manage to use my reach, especially because I have difficulty landing my right jab, which is what hurts in tricks (I'm working on it). Do you think I have power? What advice do you have? Thanks to anyone who responds.
I sincerely thank anyone who will keep everything in check and take a moment to answer, as the title says, I lost my first fight about 3 months ago completely due to anxiety, I had done impeccable preparation, as soon as I arrived at the gym 3 hours before the match I almost cried because of the anxiety I had, and I kept looking at the clock hoping time would slow down, as soon as I got into the ring it was as if I had forgotten everything, I immediately took a very strong blow and I saw black, I think I was lucky not to be knocked out, my coach for my own good stopped the fight, I know very well that that guy I could beat, I'm sure of it, I had the ability, but mentally I was blocked. Now I am technically ready to fight, I can handle boxers who weigh more than me in the gym with much more experience, and I can also give them problems, my coach says that I have the potential to fight and that he is doing everything he can to find me a fight by July, I know that fighting will really shape me as a boxer, but at this moment I don't like the idea of fighting, I'm afraid of having to relive all that again and of making a fool of myself in front of everyone again, but above all, I'm afraid of disappointing myself again, always because of this anxiety, and I imagine things like that when you fight the blows are felt much more than in the gym etc... serious advice?

I was wondering, what separates a good fighter from an elite one? What's the leap that allows one to reach the elite level? And is there a particular quality that makes the difference? Why do elite fighters have such a huge gap compared to strong fighters who aren't at that level?

M15,c'è un ragazzo nella mia classe che ormai sono mesi che mi prende di mira lanciandomi acqua,dandomi spinte e stuzzicandomi continuamente, ovviamente senza motivo, inizialmente la situazione sembrava gestibile ,ma ora sta degenerando e ho anche paura di andare a scuola, davvero.somo un pugile ormai da due anni,ho tutto gli strumenti per reagire (inoltre peso anche almeno 20kg più di lui),ma ogni volta mi blocco e non so che fare,l'altro giorno dopo avermi lanciato l'acqua,mi sono alzato per affrontarlo faccia a faccia,lui si è letteralmente alzato ed è corso verso il professore...cosa mi consigliate di fare per affrontarlo? ringrazio in anticipo chi si prenderà un momento per rispondere ♥️
I'm 1.90m tall and weigh 75kg. I'm very comfortable facing static, aggressive boxers who come forward and look for a fight, but I have incredible difficulty with mobile, defensive boxers. When I find myself in front of one, I often freeze. Fighting with them almost seems like solving a puzzle. I actually have a similar style, but when I find myself in front of these boxers, I have difficulty facing them. Any advice would be appreciated.
I'm 15, boxing for a year and a half, after only 6 months of boxing (I started sparring in the fourth), I immediately noticed that I had a particularly strong punch, the left uppercut to the body, I had never trained it, but it hurt, a very experienced teammate of mine said that I could knock someone out with that punch, after a 3-month break in the summer, when I returned my automatic mechanisms were a bit messed up and I stopped using that punch, can I get it back? How can I make it feel natural again and how can I use it effectively in a fight? Thanks for the answers
