To the Future or Inquisitive Boxers/Fighter out there, I think I'm going to retire?
I loved this site at first, b/c it gave me a chance to give advice to people who genuinely were seeking advice, whether it was what they wanted the answer to be or not. Being a Boxing Trainer, I love this breed of boxers b/c they can take honest critisism, and/or they truly were seeking advice, and were appreciative of it. They don't let their own pride or presumptions decide what answer they want to hear b/c that's just it; they are looking for even one other person to agree with them so they can feel proud of themselves.
So, to Boxing's Future, I wish I could continue to give over 15 yrs of boxing experience to you. There are simply too many people lately that aren't asking questions about this great discipline. They are simply giving their opinions, well actually bashing something or someone and hoping someone will b*t*h about something they know nothing about with them.
So, I'm sorry to those of you who left nice comments to my answers and were actually appreciative.
