I used to box about 5 years ago til i dislocated my elbow. I learned all the moves and did it for about a year and a half. Now i have been working out and notice that im not in bad shape and began running. My stamina is decent and needs a little work but im curious if anyone thinks i should give the golden gloves a shot. I go to the gym twice a week and workout with a medicine ball the other nights. Just started jogging. Would that be a decent workout plan? I Weigh 138, want to go to 125 and am 19.
 
Hell yeah. Just be more careful next time. Always warm-up before you train and before you fight. Also, do not throw punches from angles that you are not used to aim. Be prepared for wrist pain, it always happens when you are just starting to box, your wrist will get used to punching the heavy bag and become stronger, but if you haven't train for a month or so, your wrist will be as fragile as before. I would like to recommend to train for 6 days a week. Training more will make you better and stronger. Before my friend always beats me in boxing, but I trained hard everyday and watched more boxing, I learned a lot and I became confident about my skills. We then had a rematch, I won by knockout in the second round, in the first round, I was just outboxing him, in the second round, he got into an exchange with me and I outslugged him. So, have faith with your training and watch more boxing, and spar with a lot of guys. You may even become a golden glove awardee. Sparring with a lot of guys accumulates experience from a lot of styles, whether he is a slugger, out-boxer, in-fighter or boxer-puncher. Study their styles well, so you maybe accustomed and prepared for any opponent.

Dislocated!!! well that is a problem if you take my word. if you had fracture i would say go on fighting. i am 51 years old and my experience advice you to keep practising for few more years. that is at least 3 to 5 years. The dislocation may occure oftan if you don't give it good length of time to heel properly.
you are still very young and there is many more years for the boxing. give good rest to your dislocated shoulder and come back like an iron man. Good Luck

Your still young. You can do it, but you gotta step up your work out, boxing is hard, probably the hardest sport. And the most physically demanding. You gotta train hard. If you have the heart, go for it.
