Boxing Classes & More

Its a phone in a box, all i want to do is send it first class standard international. how much rougly is this gonna be

Unless this is a family member, DO NOT send it

If you got paid through Paypal, make sure the money is IN your account before you send – don’t trust an email as scammers will send you an email saying you have to send the tracking number before the money is credited. That’s a scam and not from Paypal – it’s a fake email. And if you did get paid by Paypal and the money is in your account when you log in to Paypal.com you CANNOT ship to Nigeria. Paypal does not allow accounts in Nigeria and you can only ship to the verified mailing address. If you ship anywhere else the buyer will file a chargeback and Paypal will refund the money. Unless you have proof the item was signed for and delivered to the VERIFIED Paypal address(which can’t be in NIgeria) Paypal will always refund the buyer even if you have proof it was delivered to Nigeria

If you got paid by cheque or money order, it’s fake and your bank won’t discover it for 2-3 weeks,long after your phone is gone

NEVER send anything to Nigeria unless it’s a family member or you are going to get scammed

Sorry I don’t see any in Milford but hopefully some of those others ones are near you. If you can’t get a ride look into public transportation. Good Luck!

I have read on sites that people thnik Bruce Lee would have beat Ali and Tyson in the ring or on the street and some people saying he wouldn’t have stood a chance as he was just an actor and real fighters like Ali and Tyson who would have been too tall, too fast, too strong and too experienced and would have put Lee in the morgue with one punch. So why didn’t Lee enter amateur boxing tournaments ie the Olympics to convince his deluded fans even more and convice his doubters a little bit? Couldn’t have entered the Amateur World Boxing Championships as they weren’t inaugurated until 1974, after Lee’s tragic death. So why do some deluded people think he was, is and will be the best there ever will be as he doesn’t have a pro fight to his name lol? And why didn’t he enter martial arts tournaments in karate, judo and kickboxing as he would have undoubtedly studied them as well? And he could have entered amateur boxing and fencing tournaments at the Olympics – while he was working on his book The Tao OF Jeet Kune Do – as he studied them as well. So how can he be the best fighter ever when he never fought professionally at any level or never fought as an amateur either lol? I know he won some amateur boxing tournament while still at high school in China. But what does that prove as he would have been boxing unskilld bums? And he has apparently conquered numerous people in battles in the streets of China and probably America in streetfights. But who hasn’t had fights against some average Joe on the streets lol? I am not being a crusader as I am normally a fan of Lee’s movies and philosophies but he wouldn’t stand a chance against Ali or Tyson or any other decent pro fighter in any discipline on the street or in a ring as they actually fight and have experience of fighting and being hit whereas Lee hasn’t. I will admit he was in phenomenal shape and could apparently perform numerous feats with weights and coins etc. But what does that have to do with real fighting against world class opposition in combat? He he was such a great fighter he would have enrolled or enrolled for qualification in boxing, karate, fencing, kickboxing, taekwondo and wrestling but chose not to. If I studied all those disciplines and thought I was good at them then I know I would have tried to enter them. And if you are going to compare Ali or Tyson to any martial artist from the past then compare him to Chuck Norris as Chuck actually fought professionally and was a three time karate champion and is a grandmaster of various styles as well as an 8th Degree Black Belt Grandmaster.
Martial Arts were around then lol.
….morel erel
morel orel even lol
Tyler Dirden read my question again, I said why didn’t he try and enter or qualifying for amateur tournaments ie Olympics. And get it right in Bruce’s day to qualify for the Olympics you had to be either the national AAU winner, the national Golden Gloves, winner, the winners from the East and far Wesr, and each of the four military service champs (the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines). So Bruce would have had to have entered – which I already said – and one one of those before the Olympic trials lol. I learned that from my George Foreman autobiography a long time ago.

Chuck Norris went from karate tournaments to acting.
Bruce Lee was a martial arts expert who taught classes and got into acting.
I have known several martial arts instructors who never compete in tournaments and do not want their students doing so either.
Their theory is that tournaments have rules that don’t allow certain actions, and when you are in the street you can not think about what is legal or not legal you must react without thinking.
Lee was an outstanding athlete and could have done well, but that was not his objective in life.

in the welterweight class? i know this is a hard question but please give me a example

I know for a fact that Sugar Ray Leonard was a former amateur standout and gold medal winner in the welterweight division in the 1976 Olympics. I think Donald Curry too was an amateur standout and an Olympic medalist in the division. Aaron Pryor and Thomas Hearns also had outstanding amateur stints in the division. I guess, Andre Berto too was an outstanding amateur boxer in the welterweights. Floyd Mayweather started as an outstanding featherweight in the amateur but he begun his pro career as a Jr. lightweight and proceeded to climb up in weight to the welters and the jr. middle, winning world titles along the way. The good people now in that class in the amateurs are Europeans, notably French, Eastern Europeans or Eurasians like Russians, Kazakhs and Uzbeks, and traditional powers Cubans and a sprinkling of Americans, Thais and Koreans.

Like would I be better off going down/up a few pounds if I could. (what weight class would I be in, and what would I need to lose to go down a class or gain to be the heaviest within the weight class I would already be in at 155)

well welterweight in amateur boxing is 152 lbs so you be best droping a few pounds to compete at that weight the next weight would be middleweight at 165 lbs so ud be a welterweight

I’m 17 and weigh 137 pounds.

You’re probably still growing, but I’d say no more than welterweight limit of 147 lbs. Good luck son.

i am 16 have just started attending boxing fitness classes on a monday and wednesday. i do not actually fight against other people, in the actual class we do circuit training, such as skipping, treadmill, cross-trainer, bikes, punchbags, step ups, etc.

i am trying to lose a bit of weight and get toned up without having ‘big’ muscles and was wondering if all the hard punching would leave me with big muscles on my arms and shoulders?

thanks in advance

I would not concern yourself about getting big muscles, especially for women as they have lower levels of testostorone compared to men. it takes years of hard work pumping iron to increase muscle mass. performing cardio will help you lose weight without increasing muscle mass, you will of course look toned but thats a sexy benefit in my opinion
