Preparing for small local fight

[southmadejd]

Tambit he is talking about doing a local show where alot of the times they don't even have enough competitors to fill up all of the weight classes.

To the original OP, I have to agree with Brown Ninja, I would work on conditioning because essentially that is the one thing you can definitely control during the fight. Being able to last and not gas out in the 1st minute of the fight is extremely important if you want to be successful.

Also congrats on trying something new and exciting out that most people would never try. I know I still have not decided to fight on the amatuer circuit and I am 29.

normally i would agree, but if he fights a credible opponent with such limited training, he probably won't last long enough for conditioning to matter.

if you are determined to fight without proper preparation, demand that the promoter match you up with someone equally inexperienced, or some delusional karate guy (there is one on every card).

let me tell something about promoters - the first guy he'll try to set you up with some hellacious bastard that nobody else wants to fight. but at heavweight, there is always some fatty that wants to call himself a "Professional Fighter"...have them set you up with that guy instead. you can always fight Hellacious Bastard later.

remember, talking with a promoter is a negotiation, and they are the worst kind of lying used car salesman you've ever encountered. and never take the first offer!
