Boxing with bare fists

[Juof]

Boxer or not anyone can swing a fist just cause you have trained at a gym doesn't mean you'll block every shot in the street. You can get hurt badly broken bones,missing teeth

Stop and think of the consequences of your actions because you might come to regret if you end up killing the guy

if you arent wearing gloves you are no longer boxing.

Hey guys,

So today I was doing some boxing with someone who has bullied me since 5th grade, who has never boxed before. I wore gloves, and I insisted him to do the same, however didn't because he thought that he could annihilate me with bare fists. I thought I was ok because it's a punch of someone who never boxed, I has the confidence to block or slip that punch, but when it started I kept my left guard down. After a simple jab jab right, he shot his punch which were actually pretty fast, and I was astonished; if I didn't turn my head to kill the impact, I would've been injured; it was a lesson learnt to not box with out gloves (obviously).


Anyways, my question is what are the effect of a 12 oz glove on one's punching speed and ability? Does bare hands actually make your punches faster? I feel ashamed that I wasn't able to block or slip a punch simple as what he threw.

does this guy bully you because you're a bit ******ed by any chance? it certainly sounds pretty dumb what you did here.
if he really has bullied you for years then get him on his own and whack him in the jaw as hard as you can as many times as you need to in order to put him down, tell him if he ever crosses you again you'll destroy him, then walk off. sounds like he deserves it so no reason to feel bad about it.

oh, and then steer clear of him, coz even though he will probably act alright with you he is not to be trusted.
