Lost My First Fight Badly, but I’m Ready for More

I lost my first boxing match recently. Not only lost but got DESTROYED. Total mismatch. I started training for competition a few months ago with a bit of experience sparring in college he had been boxing for a year and a half. I had 2 standing 8 counts against me and they called it in the middle of the third. I landed maybe 5 punches total. I never felt hurt getting punched and I feel fine now. I could’ve finished the fight but I understand fighter safety is important.

Despite the loss I’m ready to get back and the gym and train. I loved every minute of it felt alive! The match was rock bottom for me and there’s nowhere to go but up from here. It’s a privilege to be tested and I’ll be ready for the next. Any advice for following up a loss?
