New guy at the gym today for the boxing circuit, one of the older fellas was trying to show him some stuff.

Now said new guy boxed professionally, I knew him from my old gym, his defence wasn't great but he could crack, saw him put a bloke out cold on his debut.

Was quite funny seeing "new guy" trying to politely listen to this old fella who had never competed in his life ha ha

Boxing truly is a sport where every Tom, Dick and Harry who has ever jumped on the heavy bag thinks theyre an expert.

This is why I think it's important to at least try sparring, it teaches you that you can't fight basically even if you're throwing deadly combos on the bag, the bag doesn't hit back of course.

I remember watching Mayweather McGregor at the pub and it was staggering some of the absolute horseshit blokes were spouting about the fight with just zero idea how the sport works.

Yeah I remember watching Horn v Crawford at the pub, heaps of blokes saying "see I told you Horn was no good", I did try and let them know who he was fighting but they didn't want a bar of it.

Conor was throwing like it was a ****ing barfight in the first round and landed absolutely nothing but the crowd was frothing it. Sure enough he blew up about a minute into the second and everyone was saying he was robbed cause he “rocked” Floyd in the first.

I went to the first UFC in Sydney and we did a drinking game amongst ourselves. Everytime the crowd yelled "KNNEEEEES" in the clinch, we drank. Lasted a few fights before we realised we'd die before the main card had we continued.

Combat sports is the most frustrating with the fly in 'experts'. That or Melbourne Cup, we've all got that mate who 'looks at the form' (the info on sportsbet available to every mug) who gives out tips that never win

For some reason fighting attracts alot of experts though, it's bizarre. Probably happens in all sports but less annoying maybe? We all critique the footy and that's ok (because I'm a bloody expert obviously)

I guess fighting is something that everyone has done to some degree in their lives, maybe that's what makes them think they have some idea? I really hate the "why doesn't he just do this?" guy ha ha

There's something about thinking you're an expert in a combat sport that most participants find offensive, I'd say definitely because of the physical risks they take and the danger they're in.

which blows my mind, I've only been boxing for 12 months and you learn very quickly (ie. in your first session) just how far you've got to go. Even just the speed and slaps of padwork from someone with a bit of experience can show a newbie how far off they'll be

The first thing I learned when I started boxing was that literally anyone can look good on a bag. Learning defensive movement, head movement and footwork is what makes someone a boxer and if you don’t learn it doesn’t matter how good your hands are, you’re getting hurt.

My favourite on this site was a bloke constantly laying into women's footy and then admitted he hadn't played a game of footy in his life.

The place would be very very quiet if playing the sport is a prereq.

I probably look half decent on the pads and heavy bag (lookoutwegotabadarseoverhere.jpg) but I've only sparred a handful of times, so I know I can't box. I hope people who just do the training realise they don't know what they're doing until they spar, could be a painful lesson at some point.

I found this funny by the way, but one of the ladies at the gym had to straighten up the exercise bike so it wasn't on an angle, she reckons her OCD couldn't handle it. I said "well I guess you didn't want to ride into the wall" and she said "EXACTLY" ha ha. Weird, I'd never thought about it.

She was flirting with you, doing weird stuff just hoping you'd notice...
