OP here, with reach like that you'd be a freak boxer

Didn't you post this shit yesterday? And got called a faggot?

>>42741702
wasn't me mate, I haven't posted on /fit/ for a good while

>>42741699
how do i find good place to learn how to throw punches

>>42741727
if you mean place as in internet site I really recommend FightTips on youtube

>>42741671
Go join a gym you faggot, there's a reason that there are 0 successful self-taught boxers

>>42741671
The only way boxers get good is by sparring people that are better than them and gettig their ass beat, experience over everything in boxing my friend. You can hit a stationary bag all day, it gets you fit but does nothing in improving self defence

>>42741671
By facing a sparring opponent you are breaking that shyness. Trust me. I was in your shoes exactly a year ago. This confrontation is vital to your manliness. Had i bought a bag for home i would be same beta shy guy i was back then. It's a perfect opportunity my shy bro.
If you are scared of brain damage, just tell others so they go lightly on your head. I have really bad TMJ problems and everybody was cool with avoiding my jaw.

yeah like the other anons were saying, joining a gym is the best thing to do, without sparring there's only so far you can go, trust me i have trained in quite a few boxing gyms and they always have great atmospheres to them

This.

Boxing still draws a generally friendly and hardworking type. Unlike Mma/Muay Thai/bjj which seem to draw absolute faggots out to ego stroke

80% of boxe is getting used to getting slapped in the face and not flinching and being able to slap the other guy bypassing his shenanigans

>6'7 wingspan

literally just dance around the ring and just jab all day to win boxe matches see Klitchko brothers

>>42741671

so you havent sparred, dont go to a boxing gym, dont own a heavybag..

i think what you mean by 'love the sport of boxing' is that you love watching boxing on the television

Just go to a fucking gym. I used to be a shy faggot too, but after years of training you gain confidence boosts and shit and its fucking awesome.

But to answer your question, no you'll fucking suck

Don't learn boxing.

It will help you deal with normies if irl sth happens. However if sb who learned MMA/Muay/etc. is your opponent then you'll get to suck some dick.

>inb4 anything

None of you do actual combat sports if you deny that.

Somebody like Mayweather would get his twink ass destroyed by anybody who learned MMA/Krav Maga and such for 3+ years.

enjoy your CTE
