Sports - 6 February 2007

I am just starting out in boxing (had one taster session at a boxing gym last night!) and was told I had a 'brawling' style, and that this doesn't really link in to an amateur ethic.

I am 5 10" and 170lbs, slim build, and the trainer says to concentrate on my footwork and dexeterity. He said my style is more suited to a heavyweight professional from 50 years ago?!

I hit hard and relatively slowly although I can work up three punch combos. I don't aim to KO neccesarily but like each punch to do some damage. I tend not to get out of th way of incoming punches but instead keep my chin down and barrel in to them as I take impacts well. My favourite move is very short-range hooks to the body and poweful longer hooks to the head; but I get uncomfortable too far away from my target. I think it's called 'toe to toe'?

I would like to keep this style but is there a place for it at amateur level? Can you recommend any fighters with a similar style I mightbe able to look up?

Thanks!

How many of you watched the Peyton/Piccolo tribute on the Super Bowl pre-game show... and cried?

I did. But I'm a woman, so I guess that's not so unexpected.

It is my dream to represent Britain at the 2012 Olympics, having never boxed before- I know this sounds far-fetched but bear with me.

Would it be possible to reach the required level in time if a place in the Olympics was my sole aim? I am already as fit as I can be (10 mile run every day, two hours at the gym follwed by a mile-long run) but have bever boxed, which I intend to start in the summer.

I am already 21 and will be starting around the time I turn 22.

Is it possible?

Thanks!
