Am i too late to be good?

[GhostFighter]

Im 30 and been in boxing for almost 3 months and im losing every sparring match which really frustates me...
Im getting tagged alot even though im always trying to move my head after i punch but i still get hit with the 2nd punch the guy is throwing at me.
I aim for counter punching and i do succeed hitting the mouth or chin but only to get hooked after!
I feel im having big trouble with slipping, i like to go inside because attacking from there is easier but also more dangerous obviously. I dont mind getting hit anymore since the 1st month, i keep fighting but i think i lack a tactic, not trying to read my opponent but trying to make him fight my way, is this wrong?
Should i rely and practise on blocking or slipping?

i presume you just began training 3 months ago? if so, its going to take a lot of time, im no expert at all but as you spar more and more things are going to begin to click, assuming you have a trainer whose tellin you what your doing wrong or what you need to work on. Everything you talked about comes with time and training... lil tip; if your trying to go inside then use ur jab to do so... dont just go in because your bound to get hit... and when you punch with one hand, make sure your other hand is covering your face, any hand ur not throwing a punch with should be covering your face... protect yourself at all times

I started boxing when I was 16, I'm 20 now, I'm just about to fight my first amateur fight in Feb.
It takes some time.

I only trained for one month before i got into an amateur fight,

for most boxing is a sport of reflex repitition. that is why the best fights ever usually laced them up before they were teenagers. your mind has to be trained how to react in all situations that you may encounter in the ring. the only way to do that is by putting in years of repititious training and work. i know there are exceptions that make it without a lot of amateur experience but i bet you couldnt name me 5. i guess what i am saying is from a healthy side you should keep the headgear on and compete at an amateur level for a healthy work out and the thrill of competition. you shouldnt get in with highly experienced guys who try to take advantage of you. you could get really hurt and at 30 its not worth it because there is no upside in getting severely hurt. if you do spar with experience guys they should be teachers in the ring and not trying to take your head off. if the experienced guy is letting loose on you then you should get out because he is taking advantage of you and that is not what sparring is all about.

peace and god bless

you are a novice,judging by the way you describe your self being pummeled,you probably lack any real fighting skills,you should start training by learning the basics,give your self 3 months of introductory boxing lessons,and then you will be able to defend your self in a proper manner,you do not need or have to get pummeled,

do you for one minute believe that by watching that there will be some type of learning experience,this is not hee haw,to learn how to box you have to do the drills,you must train
