New guy here. I am thinking about venturing into boxing myself. After watching countless of fights on television, and a few live matches, I fell in love with the sport.
Anyway, what I wanted to ask about was the equipment. I suppose going to the gym covers quite a few things, but I still need to get some stuff myself. A bag to carry everything is not an issue for me, as pretty much any will do. However, shoes are a bit more complicated. I browsed through the net looking for recommendations,and found https://thesportgurus.com/5-best-boxing-shoes-to-get-in-2017/
The list seems to be decent, with plenty of useful information. Though I'm still struggling to make a final choice. Any of you would like to weigh in and push me in the right direction? Thank you.

Don't listen to someone online regarding training tips in some random forum. Go to a gym and listen to what your coach tells you. Plenty of boxers lift weights, especially at the bigger weights so that is definitely incorrect. I boxed for 6 years and everyone's body is different. I never felt strong without incorporating weight training into my training, everyone is different. Also knew fighter's that never lifted weights, knew many that did. As far as the tight skin comment, smh. That's irrelevant as you venture into amateur boxing. Try to find a good gym with good reviews. No matter what you think, you will not be good at boxing when you 1st start and you will take your lumps. Don't let that discourage you. Keep going everyday, coaches notice that and will be more willing to spend more time with you.

okay ... dont listen to someone on a forum especially Walky Talk... hes a fool - he should take his own advice and not give advice..
1st off NOT EVERY TRAINER IS A GOOD TRAINER - so what if this guy has a shitty trainer ????
Just because you had to lift weights because u were a simp doesnt mean everyone lifts weights, boxers are encouraged to not lift weights it shortens your jab. For example one of the most built fighters in history Mike Tyson - rarely lifted weights (primarily for shoulder shrugs but besides that not much weight lifting and he was 200+ lbs
The tight skin comment is perfectly relevant - Why do you think they have ice baths???? the cold water pushes your blood inside towards your vital organs. warm
water has opposite effect, speading more blood outwards towards your
skin and limbs.
im sorry you are comfortable with the mediocrities of life but every amateur boxer should want/intend to go pro , most just suck and dont do it ...what if hes a good amateur? then should he worry about tightening his skin?
Walky - please dont give any more advice on a forum as you are merely a random person

The advice I gave was good. You're an idiot and the advice you gave was useless nonsense. Saying that Mike Tyson didn't lift weights really sums up what you know about the sport. The guy lifted every day. I boxed for 6 yrs off and on, played college football, and still help out at a local gym right now. Your talking out of your behind guy. Avoiding taking hot showers is the best advice you have for the guy? Come on, anyone looking at this thread can tell I gave reasonable sound advice while you're blowing hot smoke about a sport you don't know garbage about. Good luck Franky

Walky Talky congrats on your amazing career as a college football player and a big round of applause on the 6 years of on and off work with the ladies over at the YMCA.
Your advice was trash A. Dont listen to any one on a forum (unless his name is Walky Talky) B. Go get a trainer.... (dude theres so many garbage trainers its no wonder youve been boxing on and off 6 years and now help out around the gym )
Lifting Weights:
This clip shows Tyson commenting on the physique of Frank Bruno, before
they fought. Tyson considers Bruno's physique to be more suited for
weight lifting than boxing, and remarks that he himself trains by boxing
and calisthenics. Tyson of course (the much smaller man) went on to
easily beat Bruno twice. Of course later in his career Tyson got into
weight training, but by that time he was a shadow of his former self.

I told him not to listen to you. You never fought in your life and it shows. Accept that you're a loser getting emotional on a forum about a sport you know nothing about and have never competed in.

I'm 33 yrs old you idiot. I boxed from age 12 to 18. I help coach kids now, so you're talking trash about me doing something positive around the community. Nice one, you got me. Get a clue, and better yet a life.

Mike Tyson is literally the worst example, like Holyfield and almost evry other high profiled boxer in the 90's, they were on some sort of PEDs. Hell even Bruno was on that garbage.

Lol the Franky guy has never even been inside a boxing gym but he needs to worry about tight skin. Gimme a break. Get a pair of handwraps, find a gym, and see if it's something you even want to do bc most people don't last very long. It's crystal clear little royboy knows nothing about the sport and if he does that's probably what he did. Started going to a gym and quit after a few months cuz it was too tough for him and now acts like he knows s.hit about boxing. stfu dummy

2 others came in and called you an idiot man. Dude you can't be serious right now can you?? What age I boxed at doesn't matter and it wasn't even my #1 sport and that's actually the age most amateurs get into boxing. And may be the funniest part about this, you making fun of my "illustrius 6 year career" when you were amateur boxing as a grown man fighting kids lol... I never had a "career" as a boxer but the fact that you think you have anything close to one proves that something is clearly mentally wrong with you... Anyways Lmao I just looked you up for fun... You gotta be a punch drunk retard so I'll take it easy on ya for actually thinking your a big deal. What a big time pro debut!!! (I'm really laughing out loud right now). You're 31 yrs old making a pro debut?? You fought in front of maybe 70 people and got K'd easily and haven't fought since. Did your mom make you quit after she had to go running into the ring to see if you were alive?? I side with her, that's probably for the best.

Walky - im done replying to you . you questioned if i ever boxed and i let you know who i am. am i proud of my Pro record ? no . i am proud of other accomplishments like Golden Gloves Florida (don’t bring up my age because i qualified )
don’t talk about my accomplishments or lack of accomplishments when you have done ZERO in boxing . no amateur fights no pro fights - again you can not speak on boxing . thanks - do not address me ever again
BigPapa - get off the computer and do some exercise . you have no idea what’s going on in this thread . i said even with my 0-1 pro record (Mind you - NO ONE HERE HAS EVEN FOUGHT AN AMATEUR FIGHT ) i could still whoop Walkys behind - and id double down on this 15 and say i could whoop your behind as well BigPapaJohns
LRM - thanks alot

I had 19 amateur fights with a 15-4 record, and won a city novice title. Again it wasn't my main sport and I went on to play college football rather than continue to box. All I really said to start with was that your advice to someone that's never even been in a boxing gym was f.ucking retarded. That was it. Then you came in beating your chest like you were the baddest man alive. Your age does matter, as you fought mostly younger kids while you were in your mid to late 20's and had success in doing that. Take that into consideration while comparing your amateur success to what you've done as a pro. What was even more telling is how I saw you bashing Oscar Delahoya in another thread. A golden boy card is something you should aspire to be on one day so Idk why you would publicly bash the promoter lol. Listen, I've sparred much better pro's than yourself but yes you would now get the best of me in a sparring match. Does that make you feel Proud? Overall you just sound like a very dumb person, no offense but that is how you come off. Getting ko'd in your 1st pro fight should of given you a bit of humility, apparently it hasn't. I wish you good luck in your future fights if you have any... Again, good luck
