There's a White Collar Boxing thing going on at my gym at the minute. I went down on Wednesday for the craic and kind of in the hope of slapping some City Boys come fight night and got fully put off. I got put in the ring against three dudes all of whom were taller than me and all of whom had about 6 inches reach over me and I schooled all of them. I know it's only "amateur" level stuff but I personally think boxing needs to be a bit more dynamic.
I train Muay Thai, Greco Wrestling and No-Gi jujitsu and found everytime I was in a clinch of some sort, I was freaking out because I'm normally looking for either a knee/elbow/takedown but couldn't do either of them. The guys were hugging me and trying to stay close and it was mega frustrating; so I just went apeshit for the entire round(s) on all three guys just to keep them away from me.
Boxing is cool and everything, Super Heavyweight Kilchko stuff I find an absolute snoozefest, but the bantam weight stuff I can deal with. They are faster and more agile thus making themselves more entertaining rather than watching a whole 12 rounds in the hope of seeing one haymaker knockout punch. I personally think that there are far more exciting disciplines out there though...
