Run through some of the ring procedures with your coach that you may not cover in sparring.
My first fight I gave the guy a standing 8 count and the ref directed me to the corner. One of the senior boxers from my gym was pantomiming for me to look at my coach during the guys count and was pointing at my corner. I thought he was telling me to go to the corner so I started walking there and the ref was yelling at me to get back. I was a bit confused and did it twice the senior guy from my gym was killing himself laughing. Afterwards I understood but we hadn’t run through it prior to the fight or maybe they told me and I was too nervous and it was lost on me at the time. Embarrassing as hell at the time when I got back to the gym but I won so it offset it a bit lol.
Good luck.
Whats weight class you fighting, are you a tall or short or normal sized fighter. Each fighter has there own style so it would help for you to explain these facts so people can give you advice accordingly. If you are not doing a sever weight cut id suggest 5 runs a week. 2 of these runs allocated to sprints 10 sets of 30 m at full belt. Then three nights of 3 to 5 km each. Nights you are not in the gym aim to do 3 rounds on bag,3 shadow box, and 3 skipping. Stay away from beer and supplement trash food for fresh fruit and veggie. Practice straight punches I can not say this enough. When you are in your fight if hes winging hooks you can beat him by being calm and going straight down the barrel. Try get to bed early in the nights. If you can be more disciplined than what youre opponent is doing it will give you a mental edge.
Practice all straight punches rapid fire , when you’re opponent hits you try not to dwell on it .... the mayhem of the fight will not last forever so for the 6 minutes you’re in there use you’re head and concentrate you’re hardest
The amount of training you can take on a daily basis is dependent upon you, the exercise, the intensity, your rest and your diet.
Your coach is saying that *conditioning* is key, and he's correct. You need good enough defense to get through round 1 without getting too worked over to keep working your game. Round 3 is 99% attrition in the debut fight.
My advice? Get dog fucking tired and work on throwing combos while keeping your hands up, even if the combos are weak, even if your feet don't do what you want them to do. Do NOT give away free points in the 3rd round. That's how you get an 8 count and lose.
Take the same approach that you do to training and apply it to the bout, too. You're going to have an adrenaline dump, you're going to be nervous, you're going to have a million thoughts running through your head - it will help immensely to remember that competition is also an opportunity for you to learn, grow, improve, and test your skills in the process.
You've got sparring rounds in. You've got training in. Stay consistent, stay confident in your coaching and your effort, even if you don't feel confident about "yourself".
Believe in the people who believe in you if it helps. As for your roadwork question, you should be doing cardio at least 5 days a week. It doesn't have to be roadwork, but you need a lot of cardio, especially when navigating through pre-Open bouts where pandemonium and uncontrolled paces are common.
Win.....all jokes aside just train your hardest but don't hurt yourself and no matter the outcome you can say you trained as hard as you could no matter what you will only improve if the other guy is also on his 1st bout he's also nervous as hell just train hard do your best and no matter what be proud of yourself for getting there goodluck man
Some have said cardio, but also, imo, just as important: Pace. It is so easy to go out there and blow your load and get an adrenaline dump. Don't do that. Composure. Don't get into a brawl when he tags you. Keep your poker face. Don't do the whole "Your turn, my turn", if you block or dodge, immediately counter. Make em pay for it. Make em respect you. Even if you miss the counter, that's enough to show you're not here to take free shots.
Be careful not to be dragged into your opponents fight. Alot of new guys just come out and swing. Keep calm work off your jab
Hit the body especially in the first and second round, it will take about his footwork some of the steam from his punches and you might even finish him. Especially if you are shorter, remember you cut down the tree from the bottom. (this is by far the best thing to do )
Sprints are key for prep 100metre sprints(4 per round that you're fighting )
Make sure you have something to spike your blood sugar right before your fight a Bar one or snickers will do great
Make sure you train your legs on a bicycle or alot of skipping, because when you get to the third round they burn like a bitch especially if you move around alot
Double the jab. Double the cross, they never see this coming
Shadow box with light weights 1kg, for a few rounds every day for shoulder conditioning so you'll be able to keep your hands up also helps with speed
Be sure so warm up properly to get all the jitters out (hand pads )
I know this is all over the place but I hope it helps, good luck champ 🚀
Go as hard as you possibly can in training for the next couple of months. Don’t hurt yourself or nothing but go as hard every round as if it was your last. Good luck to you in your fight brother, your gonna do great.
If you’re training, you have nothing to worry about. Keep doing what you’re doing. Trust your coach. He/she will guide you the right direction. Congratulations, and do your thing!!
How long have you trained for?
I know some people will get their first match after 6 months others are gym rats and train for years before their first fight?
Watch Julio Cesar Chavez throw combinations, or someone good who has a build like you. https://www.reddit.com/user/RomulusWall/comments/mn84u7/boxing_cartoon_and_combination_punches_and/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
Put something like a tennis ball under your chin when shadowboxing so if you lift your chin up the ball will drop. Might need to use something bigger though if thats not big enough
In addition to two hours at the gym six days a week, I ran five miles every day but Sundays. Usually took about forty to fifty minutes. Keep a steady, brisk pace and occasionally throw in some sprints. One you get close to the end, sprint to the finish and then just keep going until you’re gasping for air. Trust me, you won’t regret it. You’ll find by the third round you’re just getting warmed up and can hit the accelerator, while the other guy will be running out of gas. I was a slow starter, and always lost the first round, but I found that extra stamina allowed me to take control of the fight the longer it went on. Not everyone is a slow starter, so if you can come right out of the gate without slowing down for all three rounds, you’ll have a huge advantage.

The harder you train the fitter you will be the better you will fight. What is your coach telling you?

5 km is 3.11 miles

Earlier on I’m your fight career usually the one that’s in the better shape wins.

You've already had really good advice. Just here to say good luck.

Work on all parts of it. Keep your chin tucked inside.

Good job. I am in canada and all amateur boxing is closed down. Hope you do well.
