beast 1,884 Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 https://www.ultrawhitecollarboxing.co.uk/ one of the lads at work has signed up for this. he has done quite a bit of MMA in the past and takes his fitness very seriously, but he said he has never trained so hard in his life as what these guys ask of him! i boxed a bit as a kid but am certainly not in any position to give him much guidance, can anyone offer him any hints of what to expect or best approach to take? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DogFox123 1,379 Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Just stay fit, half of the blokes that take part in that scene are fat roid heads who have no skills whatsoever. Give them a round to throw all they have and then take them apart. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CraignTod 278 Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Tell hi to learn to cover up, spend most of first round moving and the next two will be his for the taking.. most people go flat out in first round and are to tored to carry on so he will wipe floor with them. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
big napper 3,635 Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 my son was an amateur boxer from 11 to 17 years old then he stopped for a year then had 2 white collar fights at 19, the lads he fought were a in there late 20's or early 30's and massive he was 12 stone 6 light heavy and they were super heavy by the look of them (even thou they were supposed to be the same weight) the rules and safety was nothing like as stricked as amateur or even professional, there was loads of dirty tricks used and the reff let it go so tell your mate to watch out for everything and like the lads above said most of them try for 1st round knockouts. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neems 2,406 Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 From what I've seen the goal is to put on giant comedy boxing gloves then run at your opponent windmilling,if the referee tries to stop you you're meant to push him out the way,do that until one of you collapses or is knocked out. To be serious that looks quite well run and safe,I'm sure his coaches will steer him right. Even in real unlicensed boxing the standard is very low from what I've seen,certainly well below amateur. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 49,988 Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 What the f**k is white collar boxing?.........what's the matter with ordinary boxing ?..........or just going in the local or to football and having a set too? "A safe environment ......." ?............f**k sake, what is it with sport and staying "safe"??...........soon there will be no sport left where a man can go and test himself properly against another man. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Safe as in there's a doctor there,like there is in amateur and pro boxing I've heard some scary stories about people getting life wrecking injuries in unlicensed because they didn't get dealt with quickly enough after they're hurt,they're not fit,they have no medical before hand,doctor or quick route out if they need it.

tatsblisters 10,955 Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Its a worthy cause for charity the son in law did it in april even though he got a towelling he had the guts to do it just a few of his hot headed mates spoilt the day scrapping amongst them selfs wich we were all disgusted at. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonjon79 13,358 Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Take the hits on your gloves and arms in the first round, let them tire themselves out a bit. Watch for their knees hitting yours, glove cuffs/fore arms, ebows, head, shoulder in the face. Learn to turn them as they come in. Wait for them to tire in the 2nd round. When they start breathing with their mouth open, pick them off relentlessly. You'll either hate it or you'll want more Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gamerooster 1,179 Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Tell him to go in boxing and not scrapping, keep the hands up and chin in, and most importantly to relax and not to forget to breathe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
