The “loneliness” part is the silence part that can be good for your mental health, but for most it’s not the same thing.
Dont you get training partners and shi?
@@benchpress5096 yeah but it’s all down to you. You don’t have a team when you’re in the ring, it’s you alone and any mistake you make it’s all on you. If you lose it’s cause you weren’t good enough you can’t blame anyone but yourself
@@benchpress5096 depends. A lot people don’t like to hang outside the gym. They just like to be social within the the boxing gym. They’re like the co workers you like.
@@benchpress5096 in the ring theres only you and someone that wants to hurt you , no ones gonna come help you , your success depends on you
No it can’t. In boxing you may have trainers but it’s just you. Everything depends on you not them. your situation or feeling don’t matter. Nobody cares about you till you win and prove yourself. It’s lonely hitting a bag and training for hours grinding in the dark.

Same here. But as of right know i only spar in thai boxing

Avoid punches
Well, those are complication for hig level boxers
Hit move & don't get hit box smarter not harder..TBE
boxing is no joke man. even if you hate a fighter with all your heart if someone has stepped in the ring with a full camp even just once, they deserve the upmost respect.

Nah lol not if I hate them with all my heart
I completely agree, but you mean utmost.
@@josephfischer7623 You should respect your enemies when they're brave, even if you hate them. By all means you don't need to respect your enemies if they are cowards or weaklings, but if they're fighters? You should respect their dedication and courage.

@@benjaminfranklin2836 Bro what are you talking about?
Brain trauma is the saddest thing about boxing. The stories about the boxers who basically went into a coma and never recovered after are painful to watch. I'm pretty sure every boxing fan knows what I'm talking about exactly. I wish you a clear mind, fast hands and happy life. Boxing truly is an art and your bag work is beautiful. Stay safe!
Hit move dont get hit box smarter not harder..TBE
@@turangatohiariki3042 it's not that easy
As much injuries that happen in boxing it’s not even 10 most dangerous sport, they only reason people do get put into comas is because bad promotions or there isn’t a stoppage and their corner or the red is letting them get beat
@@turangatohiariki3042 you eventually have to get hit since the opponent is trying to do the same thing
@@turangatohiariki3042 not how that works especially for 10-30 years of boxing you are destined to get CTE
It's even lonelier once you step into that ring. You climb thru those ropes by yourself, and you and you alone are responsible for what happens once you're in there.
Yeah ok Batman
I get that but at the same time I never felt that way. I always thought fights were, well, intimate. You weren't the only one who gave up everything to be there, you weren't the only one desperate to not give in. At the end of the day you weren't even the only one responsible for whether you won or lost because you can't BOTH be exclusively responsible. We are all alone together and in the ring is where you get to remember that. ...or maybe that was just me.

Only bad part is the brain damage to me
Loneliness is whatever, but brain damage is fucking terrifying.
Loneliness is as detrimental to your brain as being punched in the face is
@@purpledefaultpfp6233 😂 you ain't takin' that a bit too far, eh?
Goku has brain damage
@@thurstt9158goku can fly and shoot energy out of his hands
@@justaguy6415 that’s what happens when you get brain damage
There’s nothing wrong with learning how to box but becoming an actual athlete is very risky and probably something most people shouldn’t do simply because they aren’t fit for it and would get dramatically hurt or even die
Or you can have toxic teammates who intentionally hurts people during training just so they can have a edge
If it was easy everybody would do it.
All that means is you just ain’t cut out for it🤷🏽♂️
@@shidposting4011Ali got brain damage big time. You saying he wasn't cut out for it? You ignorant af.
@@ShankTruJank not really cause easy doesn’t always mean fun
Missing out on family events hits different tho
Everyone needs to realize that if brain damage concerns you then boxing's not for you
i’m getting a punching bag but i’m gonna stay away from boxing. the head injury shit scares me too much. i just wanna know how to punch and it’s good cardio
Then go to boxing training and just avoid turnaments
Just train boxing and don’t compete then
You DONT have to train for competitions. I do muay thai just because it's fun
@@Sellingmylivertn I did that too but I had a teammate who legit started to have beef with people that didnt compete. But he was the same nigga that intentionally hurts people during training so that he will be " Top dog" at thr gym. I had sharp pain in the back of my head for months cause he kept hitting me in the back of the head durimg a reaction DRILL. Not even sparring.
@@hidan407 ngl you would have had to complain to a coach or owner...or beat his ass
"Loneliness" I'm always alone anyway. I gotta do something to get away from my own mind, so... boxing it is.
That’s why I quit that shit, I wasn’t the greatest boxer but I’m 17 and fought for a year and got my head rocked a little too much, and I stopped boxing when I got rocked one time and felt something different about my head, I never went and got checked out but I really haven’t felt the same since… P.s. if your going to box, increase your footwork and headmovent. I cannot stress this enough, defense over offense
Explain a bit more. How is your daily life different now?
We aren’t lonely, our best friend is the jumping rope
😁🤩😍😜🤪
That is why, before you chase a dream, you must accept the possible bad outcomes and injuries you could suffer.
There's a coach named Brandon Krause who said that dehydration causes the loss of fluid around the brain, which makes it easier to get brain damage from punches.
And cutting weight aids brain dmg as they make u sweat out your body's water
Yea the brain needs to be hydrated as well to function
the cancellation part is so true, i worked my ass off for this 1 karate competition that kept getting delayed so i just quit, currently im just training on my own, weights n cardio and bag work yk.
Well done nice to see some people not sitting on their ass all day
@@Mr_Shorty yea i wouldnt want to lose all of my athleticism just cuz of a cancelled competition
Same I starved my self so much to make a weight class at 165 just to be told no one wanted to fight. I nearly died to make that weight and for nothing. I moved up to 178 but even that’s hard now and the weight cutting just ain’t worth it. I’ll probably move up to 178 to 201 heavyweight. I’m 6ft 1 with a 76inch reach so I’m about average height and above average reach for that weight class anyway.
Same thing happened to me w a boxing comp for my school. Turns out that they pussied out and cancelled the whole thing because of "safety concerns." Obviously, I can't blame them, but I know every person who had signed up and they had been practicing for years. Besides, this wasn't a huge thing with a massive prize. 7-8 competitors in total, prize of 20 bucks, this was mainly just to give us some actual experience. I trained every day for 3-4 months in preparation and you can't imagine how pissed I was when it was cancelled
@@lukedavenport8576 Can only blame yourself for weight cutting, just fight at your own weight and don't be a soyboy. Much less stressful.
The other 60-85%: "what colour is your Bugatti?"
This is bullshit Bro. Most pro boxers are Not rich
@@leonardbrutting6107 even Andrew tate isn't rich because of boxing he said it himself if you playing the sport for the money then boxing isn't profitable for you
Aaah the top G and the fact dat ur last name is my 1st name
Not a lot of boxers get rich. So many boxers disappointedly never see the type of money that mayweather sees
@@someonethereintheinternet5414 Andrew tate also was a kick boxer which isn’t as profitable
I don’t care if I die in the ring or experience anything I will become world champion even if it takes my jaw being shattered.
Same. Whatever it takes. Stay strong.
Loneliness is only felt by people with too many friends 😂 I've been a loner all my life and combat sports training is one of the few things that gets me out to interact with people. Participating in any sport means that you're having more social interactions than if you weren't participating in that sport. So loneliness as a result of combat sports depends on your own social sphere and disposition. It's all relative...
same here buddy don't have no friends so going to the boxing gym is gonna get me a coach a sparring partner a manager so thats so much more better than sitting on your couch at home and eating a bag of chips with some cringy ass friends
True, but i think this loneliness means u go into the ring by urself , nobody else is gonna save u
@Nick S then you have to remember that God is with you and you're gonna win no matter what
@@POSHMODS huh
@@importsfromtheunknown3608 yeah? Something the matter bro?
Actually, "bareknuckle" is safer than a normal boxing competition, because the boxer receive less punches
That’s why I’ll never want to fight even amateur I just like learning and sparring but the dedication and sacrifice to compete is too much for me. I’ll just be a fan and casual boxer/sparring partner
I want to fight ONE amateur fight for the experience after I finish my studies and have more free time. It is a goal of mine, but I'm on the fence because of the head injury part.
Sparring is where most the damage happens
@@natestone8739, So I've heard! Sucks that the sport hasn't evolved to include better headgear to lessen head injuries. We need more boxers to pursue neuroscience to advocate for better protective gear. How often does an amateur have to spar to get the experience needed for one amateur fight?
@@natestone8739 well yeah the sample size is greater so more injuries. But sparring is less damaging in comparison to a real fight. You aren’t supposed to go 100% in a spar and no one wins in sparring. It’s just practice and admiration of the sport. Fighting is a competition you do anything to win in.
@@cee4749 the more sparing you do the better you’ll be but most fighters spar once a week, and head gear won’t stop you from getting your brain shook maybe helps with cuts and bruises
I went into boxing at 18 with a history of seizures since age 12. Very scared to spar, but with the right coaches and sparring partners anyone can box. I may have some brain issues do to the sport, but what I have gained from it is priceless. Don’t let fear keep you from trying. That being said, also be smart about it and learn good defense.
I don’t think I’ll ever do an actual fight, I don’t have the nerves for it and I 100% respect the guys that step into a ring for a proper match. No matter what level they ar. I’ll stick to training and sparring. Still keeps me in fighting shape and confident to look after myself against an average Joe
"this is the loneliest sport in the world"- Mike Tyson.
As a kickboxer, the feeling of your opponent pulling out of the fight is worse than defeat
I'll just cherish my high school wrestling while it lasts
Worst part for me is the loneliness I think. I can manage it, but sometimes ill just cry randomly cuz of it, but then Im okay afterwards.
Same here
Go to therapy, it's not normal behaviour.

worth it 100% boxing and bjj has kept me happy and away from drugs 💪🏼
Bjj is awesome, been training for 9 months now
Got any tips? Only thing about me is I smoke weed every now and then maybe once a week. I'm currently deciding between BJJ and Muay Thai to blend with my Judo. I've done karate, boxing, kickboxing, and BJJ. These things have helped me to keep off the streets and any other junk.
@@joelmatus9442 what sort of tips are you looking for?
even mma is considered "safer" than boxing. man it always baffles me when some untrained guys try to "play fighting" with gloves on and went fullpower, not knowing that boxing CAN kill people.
i’ve been training for boxing(mainly just to learn how to defend myself) and honestly the loneliness is probably the most relaxing part, unless if someone is teaching me new stuff i like to be alone
I’m going to start boxing. I’m not competing or all that other stuff sheesh
“40-50% of my sparring partners have broken ribs”
Brain damage may be the only danger. If loneliness is a negative of being a fighter. That's nothing new, I'll keep training then.
Damn this video gave me education and epilepsy at the same time
This type of loneliness is different, it gives you power to go further and go beyond of what you can physically achieve when you realise it only depends on you
People who really boxed know that the canceled fight is by far the worst
No way
@@tubber2947imagine dedicating every single minute of free time for one moment... And suddenly it was all for nothing
I box and that's nowhere near as bad as the reality of brain damage
@@daebak7370 tbf i didn't have any brain damage it's affecting your whole life and making it significantly worse i get it, but only regarding boxing it's really a pain in the ass if you train so much and suddenly the fight gets canceled
People say the sport is lonely, but your gym team becomes your second family. And MMA has a much safer rule set and ref stoppage system. Boxing on the other hand is a lot more dangerous for the participants because they still have the option to fight after being kod if they stand within ten seconds. MMA doesn't,, with a KO meaning the fight is over
This only motivated me more to do boxing for some reason 💀
Only the first Problem is the Real One, the others are just Possibility.......
I’ve been fighting alone so long, it’s normal anymore. The only person in my corner from day one was my coaches… and not because they cared for my safety. They knew I was so broken inside, I didn’t care if I died in there, and used that to their advantage. One of the most dangerous people is someone who feels like they have nothing left to lose… And as soon as I took my second L in 2019, they were gone too. If you don’t love yourself, and respect yourself, no one will. They’ll use you to make money, and throw your ass away after you’re broken.
I’m going through something very similar but the pangs of loneliness still hurts, even if I expect it. How did you gain respect and love for yourself brother? Even when I try, it all comes back down to gaining admiration from others. I’d be lying if I said I want to go pro for myself. I want the crowds cheering my name.
@@benjenkins3220 It can be harder for some to love and respect themselves. I didn’t until I met my wife, and we had our son. At first, it was only for them. But after about a year I realized that to them, I’m one of if not the most impactful person in their lives. I realized that even though my scars do ache sometimes, there are people who genuinely love me and need me. Going pro just wasn’t in the works for me. Doc says if I take any more jaw damage, they’ll have to wire it to keep it in place. My advice is rather useless, but I’ll offer it nonetheless. Persevere. There is a lot of hurt, pain, sadness, and suffering in this world. But there’s also love, joy, beauty, and genuine happiness. Life is bittersweet. But I keep in mind all the things I’ve been blessed to have or experience. Keep going. It’s a long, sometimes frustrating and painful journey. But all good things along the way make it worth it.
Man just called me lonely
The brain part make me think twice to join box
Motivated!!!! Stay lonely friends
100% not to mention not paid too much unless you make it famous, you need an online big personality to be successful as winning fights will only get you so far, an in injury can just fuck the whole career, no clubbing or alcohol or late nights, just one mistake aka a loss means your record is severely less impressive as the loss of ‘undefeated’ makes a boxer/fighter perceived as much less impressive. And many more like outside of coaching if you don’t make it big by the time you are 30… it’s not gonna happen and you have no degree or work experience and end up a dead end boring job. I fight for fun and not for a career good luck though
Fighters go clubbing and drinking wdym they just don’t do it when in a fight camp
I'm 28 and own an electricial business but just fight for mental health, without boxing I'm a messed up loser
Even famous boxers get pated nothing mate
My first match takes place the 21st of January, it's Muay Thai. I think about this alot because dedicating my life to this has been alot of these same ups and downs. I hope to return to this video on the 22nd and let yall know how the match goes. Cheers boys 🍻
How did it go
@@tomislavjuric1973 Lost a decision, but we both left it all out there and finished the last round and it was a fun night, my opponent was super classy and we talked afterwards. 10 out of 10 would do it again!
And then after all that, some random dude on the internet calls you a "bum" or "trash".
But they are worse it always backfires
I always get fascinated when strong people say they feel lonely .
Why?
@@elmexo4375 why become afraid of something that gives strength ?
Maybe cancel fights is not that bad, because your were supposed to train anyway.
When you prepare for a fight, you train different and your mind is different. When I was off my first fight I was mentally fucked for weeks. Don’t forget you sacrifice so much for the fight. You can’t play boxing
@@walidalmousalli8544 your skills transfer to next fights
You actually train specifically for fighters, that’s why most fighters struggle when taking on last minute fights unless they are levels above their opponent
This is exactly why I want to go Into this. I have no friends and no family and have been lonely since growing up. I don't have interest in any other thing besides fighting. I've been in fair number of fights in my life time and found myself to be pretty good at it and I just feel a sort of thrill, like an excitement to the point where people thought I was crazy bcuz I was always smiling after a fight. Nothing is special about me tho, I just find enjoyment in fights and have pretty good reflexes and Instinct for an average person according to my coach. As am typing this am in my gym room, lonely and just getting ready to practice some movements and do my daily workout routine. I hope I can one day get Into this, I have nothing to lose anyways. I don't really cherish my life tbh..just depressed 24/7 I'd want to atleast go out doing sumn that calls to me and I find thrilling
I feel you bro. Hope you do find the things you need and just know God is with you at the end of the day Fr
Loneliness is so true I tell my friends yo let's do boxing and they always busy on something but they really just vaping and talking to girls and I'm here training my ass off alone
Keep up the good work man 💯. I relate to you so so much. I’m currently doing MMA and NONE of my friends or classmates are ever interested even when i talk about it. Most of em are interested in Football(not soccer), basketball etc. But I don’t let the negativity get to me. I tell myself “hey, at least i get the fun of the sport all for myself”.
And then you will become the friend of rhe group that everyone uses as a bodyguard cause you became the best fighter
Surround your self around more positive people bro. It may take time but it'll be worth it
Maybe have a personality other than boxin
its awesome man you are the real g. Keep pushing for yourself and on a long enough period of time I am sure its the others that will ask for your experience and attention. let’s go !!
Boxers and fighters in general are modern Gladiators, but if you still like combat sports, just learn them and do sparring and dont focus on becoming professional
This is what separates the winners from the losers

This is exactly why it's a crucial moment of a decision if you ever plan on becoming a boxer, you have to be prepared to not being able to do a lot of things that you used to do, and that takes a lot of sacrifices at times.

So much respect for you brother 🙏
im a muay thai fighter and i gotta say this is also kinda relatable especially the first one. I always sometimes have throbbing or that pain feeling in the head after a really hard padding session with my coach and the after effects is worse. right now i think i can take a few power hits and still be okay but ain't ready for the after effects
i fucking HATED weight cuts i only had to always cut 12 lbs which to me was a ton bc my metabolism always kept me at 4 percent fat and im shredded so it was a complete nightmare it would haunt me. until i moved up..in my free time i train guys to fight and when we heat up in the sauna before hand i think to myself after 5 mins..man i gotta gtfoh ans years prior id be in there an hour or two..at 37 fuck that no matter how good i look
this is why the sport is respected and well valued
