Today's the day...

Did you drop your guard, or were you going for a takedown or something when he came with the right cross?
And are you going to compete again?

those are not the only two positions when you can get rocked by experienced striker.Your footwork and boxing defense are extremely important when fighting om your feet.

It was stupid; I got cocky, dropped my guard while I was throwing an overhand R.  My corner said that I threw my head forward as hard as he threw the punch.

how kick ass is that! would you do it again?!



and did you give as good as you got?!

I know but since the other guy was going for a cross I guess they where pretty close to eachother.  Half-distance at most.  Therefor I thought it had to be one of these options.

Congrats on manning up and getting in there.  2 minute rounds though... Sounds kinda annoying.

[Thin Lizzy]

definitely would have taken the guy down instead of trying to stand up the whole fight; my ground game's better than my stand up, but they only gave us 2 min rounds as it was our first fight...so I figured I'd try to bang away

Those 2 minutes pretty much take grappling out of the equation.

Congrats on the fight. Even though you lost, at least you got some experience under your belt.

[torquemada]

I'll start thinking about that when my nose goes back to original size...
