Agree always DO AS THE COACH says...i don't get it why people always second guess thier coaches, i have seen this million times in BBing, people pay me to get them ready and change things last minute without my approval and end up looking worst then they could have if they only follow the advice they pay for...crazy world..LOL...

Theres no need for you to run, I never used to train at all the couple of days before I was fighting

[tommygrace81]

good luck..nerves will go away once you get in the ring...forget about the people the fight has to be about you and your opponent. besides if you are looking at the people your gonna get KO..heheheh.. go on n get it bro!!!

[tommygrace81]

good luck bro

The nerves are normal dude, don't worry. If you feel they're getting on top of you, do some light shadow boxing then find somewhere quiet close your eyes and do some deep breathing. Your first fight always goes so fast, it'll be over before you know it. As Sicko said once you step into that ring nerves will be the last thing on your mind. Good luck man, keep us posted.

I agree, I've used to fight years ago. As soon as your in there all the outside stuff you forget about.

Good luck

fought golden gloves a hundred years ago, back in the 60's. still miss it sometimes. coach used to say nerves are your friend. they keep you focused, as long as you're tough enough, and if you're in the ring, you're tough enough.
