Anyone Compete in Golden Gloves?

Anyone ever compete? If so, how was the competition and what weight class did you fight in?

I'm 18. I have a martial arts background(which I no longer do) Anyway, yes I know boxing is totally different, but it's[boxing] in the family and I want to prove white boys can throw a punch. I think the next competition is somewhere mid next year, which gives me plenty of time to train.. just interested in talking to someone who has competed.

Yes, there is a gleasons here in new york (all the past greats were there) but for this I'm more towards just working out in a dark dirty place and having myself and others train me. If I can outclass everyone, I might get taken on and that would be a very good opportunity.

My brother 128lbs in Dallas golden gloves he won, I never competed in golden gloves but I had to hold my own against him. When i did fight it was at 148lbs but I was too short for outside fighting but killer on the inside. Last year for fun I went back and fought a kid 3rd in the nation at 145 he beat the living shit out of me, to bad my old trainer didn't tell me he was ambiodextrous and won silver gloves. Plus he knocked out 2 heavy weights the week earlier less than a round each. I last 2 rounds till it was stopped for excesive bleeding. The funny thing is a week later me and him were fooling around without gloves and i got a single leg takedown easily and almost broke his aqrm by accident.....

201 weight class dropped down from 235 when I started boxing its a brutal ass sport bro walking around with 48 hour headaches after a tough night in the ring isn't a joke, having mri's and cat scans because headaches won't go away once again no fun. However the nice thing is you can probally beat the holy fuck outta anyone you meet on the street hahah. Oh ya if you do go into the gloves just know that if you punch someone on the street its a felony for "assault with a deadly weapon" lifes a bitch =p.
