Boxing is a very demanding sport that can bring great rewards to someone that gives it everything that they have and more. If you can stick with boxing, then you will learn many very important life skills that will help you to be a better person. Also you can make a great career out of boxing, and might even become rich and famous. However if the proper respect and effort is not given, then the sport can eat you up, and spit you back out again. I started my boxing career in the Junior Golden Gloves in my city. I believe that the lessons I was taught during this time have helped to shape me into the man that I have become today.

During my experience in Junior Golden Gloves, I was not the best boxer of the group, but I worked hard everyday to get better and become the best boxer that I could. Boxing kept me away from drugs, gangs, and many other bad influences that some of my friends fell into during this time. I also believe that the Golden Gloves taught me the value of determination and hard work. As a boxer you can easily see what training and hard work can do for you in life. I believe that I have carried this throughout my life, and I try to let that hard work and determination translate into other things in my life.

You should definitely try to get your kids started in boxing when they are young, because it will keep them out of trouble, and also help them learn the skills that will make them leaders for the rest of their life. Also if your child is very good then they might even be able to make boxing into a very lucrative career. Boxing will also help kids learn how to stand up for themselves, and give them confidence that they can carry with them for the rest of their lives. I really enjoyed my time in boxing, and am very appreciative of the lessons I learned while I was boxing.

Claude Evans asked:


The first punch a boxer will learn is the Jab. The jab is your “Bread and butter” punch and should be practiced over and over again.
The Jab can be used to keep your opponent at a distance and to score points at long range or medium range, not only scoring points and discouraging your opponents from moving in but it also sets him up for a powerful right cross.

Most Trainers will tell their fighters to “Fight from behind the jab”.

Start in a boxer’s stance, both fists relaxed and palms facing each other, your right hand closest to your chin and your left hand approx 4 inches in front, (opposite for southpaws).
The jab is thrown with the leading hand in a straight line towards your target and it comes back in a straight line to your chin. As the jab leaves the guard, the fist gradually clenches, rotates a quarter notch (palm facing downwards) and is fully clenched just before impact.
DO NOT make the common mistake of dropping your right hand when you throw the jab because you will leave an opening for a left hook counter.

The jab is the busiest punch in boxing, although not considered to be a power punch, it can cause a lot of damage over the course of a bout.
A boxer can learn to “Stiffen” his jab by turning his hips with the punch and stepping in as it is delivered.

Ian Pennington asked:


Boxing rankings are important for a number of reasons. First of all, individuals are able to find out what place their favorite boxer holds in comparison to other boxers. This is good to know for the average boxing enthusiast. Then there are those who make themselves a little cash off of boxing matches. It helps them to know the rankings so that they know who is the best bet. They are certainly not going to bet thousands of dollars on a fighter who ranks of number ten when the number ten boxer is going to fight number two. If it were not for rankings, they would have to figure out these details on their own, which can be quite difficult and could result in a large loss of money.

They do say that boxing rankings are usually pretty accurate, which allows an individual to make an informed decision regarding which boxer to support, whether they are gambling or not. This allows fans to know how their boxer stands up to the rest and even allows fans to pick new boxers to support.

The gambler

Just think of how much money someone betting on a boxer would lose if it were not for boxing rankings. Sure, they could try to track down the wins and losses, but that would require extensive research. That extensive research then leave more room for error. When thee are large sums of money at stake, this can be very dangerous. It is true that a person can go by the boxing rankings and still lose the bet due to the underdog pulling out a surprise victory. However, the odds are better by abiding by boxing rankings than trying to go about the bet blind. This means that there is a lesser chance that the gambler will lose the money that they have put down on the bet.

The non-gambler

The non-gambler is one that is going to use boxing rankings strictly for the love of the sport. This is the person that lives, eats, breathes, and simply loves boxing and likes to know who is on top, especially if it is a boxer they enjoy. Then again, they may find another boxer that they wish to follow based solely on the boxing rankings. This can be both fun and rewarding because it is then that they can choose which boxers they think would be amazing to see live.

So if you find you enjoy boxing and you want to know which boxers are at the top of their game, check out the boxing rankings to find out. You may be both surprised and enlightened at who is near the top. You may even find yourself following a particular boxer. That would make you a right out fan.
