Atlanta Corporate Fight Night

Tue, 01 May 2012 12:35:15 GMT

I'm Terri Moss, I promote an amateur Corporate Fight Night boxing show here in Atlanta. One of the bouts on the card fell out and I'm trying to fill it because he has sponsorship funds behind him. The boxer is out of Raleigh NC and is coming to ATL for the show. He has had one fight, 35 years old, no prior amateur experience before masters. The weight can be anywhere from 185 to heavyweight (he's about 195). It will be in Atlanta on June 7th with the weigh in June 6th. This show is conducted like a black tie professional boxing show, its very nice. If you would like the match you will have to sign a contract as each participant is required to raise money for their bout (charity match), though that will not be required of you. This will be my 5th show. For more information about ACFN go to these locations:

WEIGHT CLASSES FOR TOURNAMENTS

Wed, 25 Apr 2012 14:47:36 GMT

Hello,

I have a question about the weight classes for some of the Masters tournaments (Gleasons, Ringside, etc). For a multi day tournament, are the weigh ins done each day before the match, or just the first day before the first match? For those that cut weight to make a certain weight class, maintaining that over a 2 or 3 day period of a tournament sounds like a lot, as compared to just having to make it for the first weigh in.

Thanks,

Bradley

COMPETITION BLOOD TESTS

Wed, 25 Apr 2012 14:14:29 GMT

Hello, just checking to see what blood work is required for the different Masters boxing competitions for communicable diseases etc. Are the requirements a state by state type thing, or does each individual event require such a test. Looking at posted registrations that I see online for some of the events, I do not see any information on this.

If a test is required to compete, where do most go to get the test? I would assume a local lab or doctors office, or is there a set form of what is required so that I can take that to my doctor, so I know what tests to ask for. Also, how long is the test good for, since I am sure the test fee is probably quite expensive?

Thanks for any information,

Bradley

Open sparring session - Masters only SO CAL

Thu, 19 Apr 2012 17:39:30 GMT

Hey everyone, I am very new to this, just started boxing November 2011. I belong to a gym now.

I am wondering if any of you would be interested in getting together for open sparring sessions for masters only in the LA area. It would definitely be open to masters only, 40 yrs old and over ideally. It definitely would be friendly sparring, with parameters strictly set based on your skill level and comfort zone.

It's just an idea for now, but I can probably find a gym that would open it's doors. I know for most of us who train as masters, it's hard to find sparring partners that's actually our age in our own gyms. I think it would be fun and safe to be able to get together with other masters in the LA area, maybe once or twice a month for open sparring.

If you are interested, reply to this thread, or you can pm me as well.

If there's enough interest, then I can probably start the leg work.

Thanks

Virginia Commonwealth Games July 21 and/or July 22

Mon, 02 Apr 2012 00:56:44 GMT

Hello,

I am a 38 year old master's boxer at 165lbs. 1 fight experience.
Looking for opponent for Virginia's Commonwealth (State) Games

Here is a link for information:
http://www.commonwealthgames.org/2012_Subway_Games/2012_Sports_Listing/Boxing.htm

They aren't use to Master's boxers, but my coach is happy to help arrange details. A catch weight could even be arranged, but I don't want to go much below 165, could go up a few.

Regards

A New Reality Series about White Collar Boxing

Mon, 12 Mar 2012 01:31:33 GMT

Some of you might know that I participated in a Corporate Boxing Event in Atlanta called Atlanta Corporate Fight Night. I participated in their Third Corporate Event. I will be in Atlanta Corporate Fight Night 5 as well in June fighting my second Masters Bout.

During the training and the actual event, a film company named Lucky Dog Filmworks was filming our training and the event. The Show is highlighting Decatur Boxing Gym's Terri the Boss Moss and Xavier Biggs, the brother of the former heavyweight champ.

Anyhow, here is the trailer that has been released. I'm the guy fighting Andre Merrill. They did not highlight me personally too much because I don't fight out of Decatur Gym, as I fight out of Raleigh/Cary, NC. Pretty cool though because the show is very close to being purchased by a Cable Network. So we'll see if they are present again for the next installment of Atlanta Corporate Fight Night 5.

Check out the trailer! Most of the bouts are Master's Boxers.

Hammer's in Allentown, PA

Sat, 10 Mar 2012 01:46:08 GMT

Hammer's Training & Fitness is a brand new boxing gym in Allentown, PA where I now work. I took a free introductory training class. It was a good class. The facility is very nice and the trainer--a pro boxer--was great. The rates are a little pricey--especially for the area--but it's worth a visit.

ON BLOOD PRESSURE

Mon, 05 Mar 2012 14:15:21 GMT

In regard to question#1of the doctors sign off medical form-He/she does not have or has no history of diabetes,high blood pressure or chest pain.
My question is if you have the blood pressure under control by use of medication,is that acceptable to make one eligible to participate in the masters boxing division.
The question is kind of like a double edge sword-yes you do have a history of high B/P
but you do have it under control.
Thank you-John T White

Greetings from Los Angeles-seeking trainer

Sun, 04 Mar 2012 10:42:50 GMT

Hey everyone, I'm inspired by this group.

I have been a member at some of the hardcore boxing gyms

In Los Angeles, New York and San Diego but don't get much

Individual instruction. The attitude at the gyms seems to be either you must be either very young and a pro contender or pay lots of money to get good training. I do martial arts too and get more boxing instruction from kickboxing classes then from the boxing gym. Anyone have any advice? I don't want to pay a gym just to do things I can do at home like hit a bag. There s sparring available at times and I do ok with itbut I need help with improving technical skills.
