Hi all I took up boxing about 2 weeks ago I have been really enjoying it. We do a circuit then skip and do pad and bag work. I did a bit of sparring on Wednesday fought 2 heavy weight guys ( im a heavy weight too) and did well. Then my last round fought a light weight (11 stone) and he rained punches on me and gave me a bloody my nose! just goes to show speed is everything. It has not set me back tho Im still enjoying it. Does anyone else do any contact sports? I did play rugby too.
