    Training & Fighting [girlfriend & family]

    Do you guys think bringing your girlfriend (or family members) to your fights, or to the gym when you train... is a good thing? or bad...


    Me personally, If my girl is in the gym for some reason I go a lil harder like her presense pushes me... I know alot of you may say its bad but iono I like the encouragement. even when my brothers at the gym he's yelling and pushing me to that next level.

    Im bringing my girl to the february fights, and my mind is already set "I will NOT lose infront of my girl"


    but yeah, what's you guys take on bringing your girl or fam to your matches or to the gym

    Fights I could see bringing your girlfriend and Family too, but to workout in front of people is just somebody trying to be a showoff IMO, only in rare instances can I see it....

        My wife dropped by the gym once; she was working in the area and figured she'd drop in, watch me train, and we'd go grab a bite afterwards. Problem was, it smelled so bad in there that she told a trainer to tell me to meet her outside. She went to a local bar and waited for me. "My God, you come here every night?" "Yup." "Doesn't it stink?" "Yup."

        She wants to come to my next fight, she says, but she has no interest in even being inside the gym. For our skills bouts and local smokers, the gym does a nice job with Lysol and Pine Sol; it's the only time the place doesn't smell offensive. Well, offensive to some.

          Every person says they won't lose infront of their girl. You, on the other hand, will lose. Why? You suck using the philly shell.

            Lmao that's idiotic, When you dont know something... You work on it and practice, the clip of me doin the philly shell was day 1 of learning it... with that said, I dont even have to use philly shell in a fight until I master it. Your talking like you have to use the philly shell in a fight lmao right

              I have never bought anyone to the gym other than friends. And those friends have been training also, so it's not as if they are just spectating.

              For my fight coming up a lot of people may be going it all depends, however.

                My brother-in-law, about ten friends from college and their wives and girlfriends -- some of these guys I hadn't seen in over a year -- and my parish priest all showed up at my first fight. I was surprised how many supporters I had -- like, two whole rows. It really did make a difference; the cheering when I'd unload on the little bugger would really fire me up. I highly recommend having your friends come see you fight. Even if you lose, they will respect you for having the sack to step in the ring.

                  my gf used to always come to my fights but I've found I perform better when her or any of my family do not attend. It's probably more of a personal thing than general, I imagine some people would fight harder knowing their family are there but It just puts me off...

                    u should not be using the philly shell, its just plain ******. My trainer has trained many people and has had some great fighters. However he still says hes never had someone good enough to teach the phillyshell. Your ****ed if u run into a strong guy who keeps his hands up and roughs you up. Watch Rjj vs Glen Johsnon, that type of **** could happen. I wish ya luck bro but ur gonna get tagged bad keeping that left hand down.
