The surprise was that after a particularly contentious match, a brawl broke out. Suddenly, people swarmed from all directions over to the scene. Long story short, we will have a change of venue for the next event, but I will get to observe and help out again next month.

Sometimes as a referee I have a boxer who starts his match like that — refusing to touch gloves, or something similar. I just refuse to let the match begin until he comes back to the center and does what I tell him to do, and does it respectfully. But you KNOW when the dads are like that, chances are slim that the kid can be radically different.

Let the stream of women into boxing officiating begin! I loved being ringside! I may travel with our youth team to the NY Silver Gloves next month. This post was really helpful. As a newbie boxer, who told her coach day 1 I wanna train for a fight, I had no idea where one goes to find a match and how the hell one gets signed up. A completely new world and unknown territory for me. But I LOVE boxing and am enjoying just soaking up all this fascinating info about how the boxing shit goes down.

Now only if I could quit my regular desk job and trade it in for all day at the gym I could maybe speed up my time to the ring for a real match! So you have an awesome journey in front of you, plenty to enjoy! Love that you are now a referee! Hey Lisa, as always when I scroll through your blog I find lots of wisdom! How do you find out about up coming fights? For years it has been very difficult to get into the loop of information about when and where sanctioned amateur bouts happen. Everyone depended on the promoter to post flyers, do publicity, and get the word out.

Some were able to do that better than others, but it was always an expensive and time-consuming effort. Use the resulting links to click through for information on each event. Sometimes promoters are late getting their sanction in.

You may only find out about it a few days in advance. That might be too late to get a match. Most promoters do a show or two at the same general time every year, often with the same name. Where I live, we have about shows a year, and they usually repeat each year, with mostly the same promoters and venues. Do you know someone who can be my trainer? Because i want to be a boxer. I know its hard but i really love to do this sport. All gyms here in Philippines are expensive. Im just a small time 2nd yr college student and i cant afford to go to gym. So please help me sir.

But you are able to go online, so why not do a search on boxing gyms in your area? That should turn up a few places to start your research. Hi, James — You should definitely get in touch with the Chief of Officials of your Local Boxing Club and they can put you in touch with others who have successfully run sanctioned events. In our area, the more experienced promoters work with newer promoters to help get good events established. I am a boxer that has trained on and off for four years and I am curious as to if I can set up my own fights without a coach.

I am twenty years old and believe that I am an intelligible individual. The reason for this curiosity sparks from my passion for wanting to handle boxing my way.

I appreciate some of it; however, some of it I disagree with and do no like. I have a very strong opinion on the way I want to fight and do not want anyone to get in the way of it. I also do not want to face the criticism. Hi, Powell, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. It sounds odd, but boxing is kind of a team sport. In other words, you need to have someone to corner for you at the very least.

That person not only makes coaching calls, but they also throw in the towel if you are in no condition to make the decision yourself. In addition, your coach and gym are certified through USA Boxing, and you must be also, in order to compete in sanctioned events. I never considered boxing to be a team sport. I like it because it is just me and my opponent in the ring. Other than that, thank you for replying and sharing your personal experience. I really appreciate it and will indeed contact the Chief of Officials.

Im currently running i deas on an event to be held in 2 months for charity, it will be seeing people who have issues in general life bring it to the ring unstead of seeing eachother out on the street or in a bar drunk. We have a qualified boxing gym available, just need some pointers as to what i need to do legally in securing permits and stuff like that as this is my first time running an event.

Your best bet is to work with someone who has put on sanctioned boxing events before. Best of luck to you. Im unsure how to go about finding a trainer that is worth the investment. Your article was insightful and helped give me a better understanding of the culture that surrounds boxing. Hope to hear back from you soon! If your intention is to get some official amateur bouts in boxing, then you need to find a local gym that is sanctioned by USA Boxing.

ADAM SALEH'S STREET BOXING MATCH!!!

Hi, so I am curious to know because one thing i am concerned about is being matched with someone of much greater experience than me, if I have been training for one year, could there be a scenario where i end up being matched against someone who has been training for 3 years for example?

Yes, you might get matched against someone who has trained for longer than you have. None of the officials have information about how long someone has trained , only how many matches they have. Some get less, for smaller, dark off-TV shows. I used to be a matchmaker myself. In fact, at age 25, I was probably one of the youngest matchmakers in the world at the time.

And I was a pretty good one, when I wanted to be. And believe me, things DO go wrong.

The Promoter: When an amateur boxing event is announced

But you have no idea the kind of headaches that have likely gone into polishing off that show. That's the call you don't want to get. If the main event falls out, it's like a blow to the solar plexus.

Sometimes you get so worn out, you make a fight just to make a fight. Mitchell started puking in his dressing room right before the fight and couldn't go out. Another time, Epifanio Mendoza tore a tendon hitting the pads in his dressing room while he was getting ready to fight Lonnie Bradley. ESPN put a lot of studio time on the air that night. He's throwing up in the dressing room and his manager tells you that he ate spicy fish that afternoon.
