UPDATE: I fought on StreetBeefs 2 days ago. I got TKO'd in the third round

[MaksBox]

props to you for doing it... despite the massive size disadvantage... It's like Canelo fighting Fury. =P

[Bandman]

u should not have taken that fight. weight divisions must be respected

[HitmanTommy]

You get paid?

No...

But you do have a chance to get a belt in one of their title fights.

[HitmanTommy]

I'm impressed, man. You hung in there. The guy took your best shots and wouldn't go away. That's a terrible feeling. You also gave away too much in height, reach and fitness. I loved your vivid description of the fight. I could feel the punches as you described it. Best of luck

Yeah I threw everything but the kitchen sink at him. Some of the hard shots I hit him with connected perfectly hoping that it would be enough to buckle him at least but didn't seem to phase him. He just kept coming.

[HitmanTommy]

Wow 5 foot 5 and 200lbs, I can't imagine what it feels like to be that heavy, I am 5 foot 11 and only 147lbs. I was 170lbs once a while back and felt overweight and lethargic.

I am on the chunky side, but it does not feel all that bad.

[HitmanTommy]

Took it like man well done.....but 196 and 5ft 5inch is a real disadvantage and your always be matched up against boxers that are physically to big for you fella...height and reach wise

I took the fight because it was also his first fight on streetbeefs.

[HitmanTommy]

Huge height and weight disadvantage. Respect and props given my man. You held it down for us shorter guys even in a loss.

I've boxed against some tall dudes (not quite 6'4", closer to 6'2") and it is a pain to get past that reach.

His jab wasn't all of that good, which is why I was able to slip most of them. But man when he did hit me with it, it felt like a sledgehammer.

[HitmanTommy]

U should of known your weight BEFORE going there. Its not smart to fight bigger men UNLESS u know how AND have the SKILLS to whip them.
I respect your balls but don’t let them supersede intelligence.
The only reason why a normal man can kill a 400 pound gorilla is he USES his intelligence.

That is who I was paired up against so I had no choice. I could have said no, but I may not have got another chance to fight.

[HitmanTommy]

It's good that you got in there and got a taste of what it's all about. But why would you not jump on this guy from the opening bell with the obvious reach advantage that he had. Get under his jabs and smash your right hand in to his ribs, then follow with hooks. But whatever, you have a lil' bit of experience now. Not as easy as they make it look on tv, ah? So what are you gonna do with that experience now? ……...Rockin'

Because every time I got close after slipping the jab and trying to do work on the inside, he kept holding and grabbing and the ref kept having to break it up. I had the quickness and speed advantage, that's why sticking and moving was working so well. But after getting worn down from his punches and all of the holding and grabbing, I slowed significantly. And he knew it too, that's why he did what he did in the final round knowing that I wasn't going to win when punches started getting exchanged. He used all of his size and weight to push me to the fence and keep me there while he started teeing off. I tried to get out of it but I could not outmuscle him.

I hear ya. It just magnifies how showing up prepared to fight really pays off. So what did you learn from all of this? Take your time and think about this one...…..Rockin'
