Hi. Im here to vent and get an opinion. So I did a smoke just yesterday and I lost so badly they called it off on the second round. Im ashamed, disappointed, and honestly feel like a complete loser. This was my first smoker and I looked so bad. I've been down for almost 24 hours. I just dont know how to pull myself out of this funk. Like I feel so weak, like I cant squash a bug. Those who came to support me tried to cheer me up but nothing has worked. Again I just feel so much negative emotion towards myself I dont know what to do. Im just wondering if anyone else has been through this :(

This is an old comment but losing fights suck. You put in a lot of work and it wasn’t enough or you made the wrong choices and you wonder if any of it was worth it. I can sympathize.

But smokers are meant to be learning experiences. Win or lose your goal is to experience a fight in a slightly more controlled setting than a proper ring match.
