    Official Coaches and Trainers Discussion

    Who you going to have work his corner? There is still time for coaches to register, so you can hop in still. My brother and I are school teachers by day, so it's not always easy to take off time, but I can't send my fighters solo to National tournaments. Based on her weight class, I'll only...

    Official Coaches and Trainers Discussion

    Anyone have anyone fighting in the National Qualifier in Detroit? I have one girl competing, wondering if anyone else was going to be there.

    Official Coaches and Trainers Discussion

    Been having a solid run in the Gloves this year. 6-1 in the tournament so far, one Western New England Golden Gloves champ, 2 Central New England Golden Gloves champs, and one all New England Golden Gloves champ. Have one more fighting next Thursday for another all New England title next Thursday.

    Who is your WOAT worst of all time

    Brett Rogers was considered a very credible highly ranked contender when he fought Fedor. Huerta got the SI cover and then proceeded to get slept by Uber drivers. If Tiki Ghosn was ever ranked, and it's possible back in those early days, he's probably my to pick.

    Maize style uppercut bag in the US?

    Only took a decade, but I found a major US manufacturer producing maize bags: https://www.titleboxing.com/punching-bags/specialty-bags/title-vintage-maize-bag I purchased one a few weeks ago, here is some quick feedback: - The zipper popped almost immediately. I had no intentions of shipping...

    Tiki Ghosn after having his soul removed from his body by Robbie Lawler: "They stopped it because of a cut."

    pro fight gloves

    We cut the gloves and typically keep them after a fight. They're a nice reminder of an event. 99% of my guys compete at the amateur level, so I have limited experience with various pro fight gloves. We do 1 pro fight per every, I don't know, 50 amateur bouts that we do. We often use an...

    pro fight gloves

    The only time I purchase pro fight gloves... Are when one of my boxers has a pro fight. There really aren't a ton of benefits of using them outside of their intended purpose. They wear considerably faster than other gloves that would give you a comparable feeling. They're typically on the...

    I fought last night at UFL

    It's a tough man contest run by a convicted pedophile where the participants do not get paid.

    "Typical" Sparring Glove Weight for Women

    We have a ten year rule for masters. If you’re 50, you can box anyone between 40 and 60. USA Boxing added an annual athlete physical a few years back, master boxers have to do a far more intense physical as the risks are higher. Masters as a whole is relatively new. Not only do they have 16...

    "Typical" Sparring Glove Weight for Women

    Over the age of 35 literally everyone competes in 16’s (technically you aren’t forced into masters until 40, but most people between 35-39 elect to compete at Masters). 141 and below wear 10’s and 152 up wear 12’s in competition from 18 to 35 regardless of gender. I gave a specific age example...

    >$100 Heavy Bag

    We have 45 Outslayer bags at my place and I have no plans on buying any other type of bag. Simply impossible to get that sort of quality at that price, I highly recommend going in that direction. Some old pics of when we only had 35:

    Fights stopped due to a broken jaw?

    Kim Couture had a brutal jaw break that she somehow powered through. Not what your asking, but worth a mention in any broken jaw thread. The first name that came to mind was Aaron Riley.

    A quick update from Nolan Bros Boxing: Had a very good run in the Marciano Tournament this year. Saturday we capped it off going 3-0 with 2 stoppages on our way to 3 belts. Our 178 lb male beat Olympian Jason Estrada's son Lennox in the semi-finals in an excellent bout. 7-2 in the tourney...

    "Typical" Sparring Glove Weight for Women

    It's up to the coaches. You spar at my place, you wear 16's. Age, sex, size, doesn't matter. You spar, you wear 16's. Like, if you have a small female who is 36 years old, she'd be in COMPETITION with 16 oz gloves. What sense would it make for someone like that to spar with 12's and fight...

    Some jab sparring

    If you truly have ambitions to compete as an amateur, in any capacity, you'll have to join a gym and essentially start over. There is nothing in either video that I could possibly critique and provide you with feedback to better your boxing. Not a knock, not talking shit, but there is nothing...

    Winning MS-600 Gloves on Heavy Bag

    If you're looking for a pair of Sabas, I'd skip the Primes personally. I've used all of their models and I actually like the Prime gloves the least. I'm not a fan of 360 enclosures in general as I think they are actually LESS supportive than typical enclosures. The pocket has a rough, canvas...

    ycm aqua bag 2

    My father was Tommy Duquette's first trainer. Started 0-3 and lost in the Olympic trials on a draw (yes, that's a real thing. Ref decides winner on "aggression"). https://www.bostonherald.com/2012/07/29/waltham-boxer-just-misses-shot-at-olympics/ He's undoubtably one of the most talented...

    TOPBOXER gear and equipment CUSTOM boxing gloves and other gear

    I unfortunately never used his micro mitts, just his "standard mitts" way back before he had his Top Boxer brand (The Bill Beaullieu days). His micros look excellent, but no personal experience. As for Winning, I had a pair of the CM-10 micro mitts and absolutely HATED them. No finger hood...
