I Tried Boxing in Mexico for 30 Days (here's how it went...)

- For the past 30 days, I trained boxing in Mexico. Mexico has more boxing world champions than any country on earth and I wanted to see if I have what it takes to learn to box like a Mexican! I have always admired Mexican boxers for their speed, power, aggression, and most of all- their heart. Boxing is a hugely popular sport in Mexico and to have the opportunity to learn more about the country that we call home from inside of a boxing ring was a true honor. It is one things to watch it on TV or from the stands, but it is a completely different feeling to be standing toe to toe against an opponent inside of the ring. Of course I learned a lot physically along the way and improved a great deal, but more importantly, I learned a lot of life-changing lessons.
Thank you to Pato and his team for training me! They tried their best! 😂

It was an honor to attempt to learn to box in our home country 🇲🇽 I have so much more respect for anybody willing to step inside the ring and face an opponent 🥊Hope you enjoyed the video!
I SALUT YOU DONT GIVE UP IT TAKES SOME TIME BUT THE DISSAPLINE AND MENTAL SHARPNESS WILL MAKE YOU A BEAST MEXICAN BOXING IS IN ANOTHER LEVEL, GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK HOME
BOXING AND LISTENING TO THE GREATES SINGER THAT EVER LIVED
***JAVIER SOLIS*** AND YOU ARE PRETTY MUCH 100% MEXICAN NO GOING BACK YOUR SOUL WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
Please welcome the reigning, the defending and the undisputed champion of the world... From Dallas Texas...Greeeeg
Mi casa es su casa carnal es UN honor para nosotros que Te guste nuestro Pais ta bello que es Mexico 🇲🇽 El que kiere a nuestro Pais es hermano para nosotros. Recuerda que Mexico SE lleba en El corazon. I mi self miss my beautiful country sometimes I Whis I could go back to time and reply all my childhood when I was whit all my love one! That I had to leave behind people don't understand what a blessing is to have your love one's especially you Grand parents around you. But sadly a lot of us don't even get to go see them or even going to their funerals. All that's left is pretty memories that will always stay in our Hearts, I speak for my mis understood Raza being Mexican 🇲🇽 in the united state ain't easy.. good luck brother and God bless you and your love one's 🙏
entrar al ruedo no es lo mismo que verlo de afuera 👌
It’s not easy to accept a Mexican boxing style, it’s the most punishing and visually entertaining to the masses. Being an excellent Mexican boxer is near impossible. Respect man
True i've been trying to study the greats my self as a small guy like El Finito Lopez. And oh my god getting the timing and precision with each movement almost feels inhuman. And i'm also practicing other hard styles like High Guard, Peekaboo, Philly Shell, Low Guard, Cross Guard so on and so forth. Each one has there own challenges to overcome. But man combining them together gives me a thrill.
Like throwing Thomas Hearns style Flicker Jabs out of a Philly Shell to confuse people. The options are truly endless in boxing way more then people make it out. Boxers like Lomachenko show us what happens when you combine as many skills as you can attain and grab. Kind of like that whole Bruce Lee philosophy of "take what is useful for you and discard what is useless". As well as the whole "be like water" quote.
You have to flow your tools together as one on reaction without even having to think about it. Always having multiple defensive and offensive plays and tools in hand at all times. Never giving an opening never dropping your guard. Luring your opponent into a false sense of security only to switch up at last second.
@@dr.dylansgame5583 finito Lopez is never talked about, great choice to look up to.
@@JH-ej2ytI agree!
@@JH-ej2ytmy favorite boxer brother! You’re right about that 100%
No existe tal cosa como "Estilo mexicano" en el boxeo.
boxing in Mexico , muay thai in Thailand , ji jitsu in Brazil. As an MMA fighter I wanna do al these things so bad, awesome video dude!
Also grappling in dagestan
I'm a former amateur boxer who is now a boxing trainer. Two words for you: Be proud. You did something that takes an awesome amount of courage - and that is something that you will never forget, ever.
Thank you so much for this!
Well said I didn't start boxing until I was 26 years old because I thought people would make fun of me because im tall but very skinny (6'5 165) so glad I did i am about to start my amateur career with my first fight in 2 weeks! Like you said be proud most people don't have the courage to at least try!
@@molon___labe good luck!!
@@molon___labe bro I’m like 6 ft 140 something pounds 😭
@@dand9868 thank you!
I wish I could give you 10 thumbs up! Not because I’m particularly a boxing fan, but because of how your love for and connectedness to Mexico comes through. I find so many foreigners in Mexico are more likely to highlight the “foreignness” they feel in the country. For me - as part of a Mexican family for a few decades through marriage - Mexico also truly feels like home.
Thank you so much for your kind encouragement!
Most people just see the brutality of boxing, but when you get in the ring a few times you know that if you don’t think and have awareness, you’ll get brutalized! Technique is a set of skills. Instinct and other inner feelings are factors too, but knowing the moves gets you much further along.
so well said and all so true!
Boxing is incredible and it is exactly what you said, meditation. Its not about taking out anger or emotions or stress, boxing is for discipline, resilience and character - boxing replicates life. that is why this is the best sport
Box is a serious thing in México dude. Lot of great fighters and world championship hace emerged from all over the country.
Is great watching you try to learn how to be a good boxer and believe me you are learning with the best coches in the whole wide world.
Enjoy dude!
thank you so much!
Wow what a beautiful video Greg as a mexican kid who grew up dreaming of becoming a world champion and fighting for mexico this video almost brought tears to my eyes you have a mexican heart and it shows
awww thank you!
I appreciate the delicacy of your words when you speak of Mexico and it also being your home. No matter where we are in the world our roots run deep in our love for our people and our culture, music, traditions, etc and we always welcome everyone and anyone who is willing to "see life" like we do; like a Mexican.
Yo entrene boxeo y me rompieron mi nariz en mi primer pelea amateur , después de esa pelea me retire☹️, el boxeo es un deporte muy duro y no es para cualquiera, lo único buenos es entrenar pero no para boxear, solo para estar en forma . Saludos desde Monterrey, México😃
Pero piensan que lo que a echo Saul Alvarez es regalado😔
@@cervantesmloco2601 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Lol!
Yo no entrenaba box solo hiba a ver a compañeros ya que estaba en atletismo, pero luego asían peleas pero nadie quería pelear pues que subo a pelear así hasta 20 peleas 😂, pero la verdad no me gustó no cualquiera está hecho para el Box.
Saludos. Aquí una historia bien triste de un boxeador que le llamaban Niño Azteca. Le dieron un golpe bien fuerte y no sobrevivió. El boxeo no es para reír. Saludos desde Chicago
@@cervantesmloco2601 exacto, muchos no tienen idea de lo que es subirse a un ring, recibien golpes muy duros y muchos de esos golpes bien colocados . Sin contar en gran cansancio de caminar, recibir, aguantar y dar golpes. No es para cualquiera.
Congratulations Goyo! You are very brave man for stepping in the ring 🥊,hats 🧢 off to you! Thank you for appreciating our country and culture 🇲🇽
💯
People never understand just how exhausting boxing is. It’s constant movement. If you aren’t punching you are getting punched, i find it harder then running as you dont get to set your pace.
I will say, your day 30 form looked nice. Smooth like someone who had been boxing for a while
I'm so jealous of you. The food is what I miss the most but the kindness and humbleness of the Mexican people wow for sure is amazing. Thank you for sharing
Thank you to Pato and his team for training me! They tried their best! 😂

Mi admiración para ti Gregorio, que cuando decidiste participar en el ultramaraton, lo hiciste con mucha dignidad, honestidad y empeño y ahora que entrenaste con nuestros jóvenes en el boxeo, lo haces con mucha seriedad y compromiso, un abrazo y mi reconocimiento para ti
Love all of your content and enjoy seeing your trips to Europe and Thailand, but I’m so glad to see another video of you in Mexico!
Thanks Jose!
This was a great video! I know that you like to challenge yourself and you sure did this time, kudos for sticking with it! Glad it makes you feel more connected to Mexico.
thank you Cindy! It was a challenge just watching Greg! haha! -Hillary
Respect to you man! Boxing ain't no joke especially the Mexican style of boxing but you definitely made improvements!
I’m a Mexican from Atlanta, Ga & this is my 3rd time watching this video. I like it 🤷🏽♂️ keep them coming man
You look good, keep practicing! Glad you both are back in Mexico!
thank you Ella!
It's great to see you guys pursuing things in your bucket list and beyond, Gregorio. Kudos to the two of you.
Great video! Agree 100%…having practiced boxing in Mexico for a while, I feel the same 🥊
Mate! I take my hat of to you in getting up & showing up. Displaying courage, grit & determination most of all handling it all with such genuine humility. 🙏
Takes a lot of courage,thanks for taking us along. Wish it was alot longer. Good video
Looking forward to more of your bucket list adventures!
FINALLY YOU GUYS CAME BACK TO MEXICO! UN FUERTE ABRAZO BROTHER!
Congratulations Greg, excellent challenge, let's hope all is well, after the blows. Your inspiring videos, thank you for showing the benefits of Mexico
That’s gangsta Guerra. Remember, the Mexican boxer is all about heart. No giving up, no backing down.
Mexican American here. I agree 100%.
It's the same with thoroughbred racing. Heart (or lack thereof) is what you cheer for.
This video was really f*cking good, that's boxing! I actually train every day here in México and it's exactly as you told us in this video, glad you enjoyed it
Way to go brother,
We Mexicans have heart over all ,
Your blessed to be able to do what you do,
You have a great heart and motivation
God bless you.
Great video, appreciate the commentary at the end about what you learned. Saludos
thank you so much!
Congratulations mi Goyo por hacer de esta disciplina algo serio pero sobretodo un esfuerzo por aprender de este deporte que ha dado a México grandes ídolos y por ser un Mexicangringo junto a tu esposa la güerita Hillary también una Mexicangrnguita.Cuidense mucho y les mando muchos saludos nunca se olvidan de su segunda casa llamada México Greg ando Hillary welcome to Home México bye
aww gracias Leonardo!
I've been training Muay Thai for nearly 6 months now, and gotta say you should be impressed. Of all the elbowing, kneeing, kicking and clinching that I've done and was able to grasp pretty quickly and easily, boxing is something that is still lost on me. I'm only up to day 2 as of writing this and your progress there is already remarkable. Be proud.
You guys are a great inspiration, reinventing projects, it's good to see you in Mexico, which will always be your home,
I met you and hilary here in Texas after watching your videos for a couple of years and I spoke to you in Spanish and you guys where so kind love the fact you guys call mexico home los felicito Greg.
Bro you should continue this boxing journey. It’s an amazing feeling when you slowly start getting the hang of everything.
Hey man I’m proud of you and what you did! Something I’ve been wanting to do. Thank you for this
do it
This is something new and really good! Challenges go for them cause I need them as well. We need more videos like this one ! Thank you
thanks Omar!
Fantastic video, man! Loved it!
Great vid! Congrats for your commitment on doing something.!! Very encouraging.
thank you Jaime!
Man you did great, proud of you for getting in there and learning
Yep. Mexico is your home. Loved this video!
it is indeed :)
Great video bro!
Proud of you bro. Great efforts. Greetings and respect to all from Durango Mexico 🇲🇽
Awesome video 👍 much respect to you for training hard.
This was an amazing video, I’ve been In similar shoes trying to learn how to box. It’s wasn’t easy but it has been a very rewarding and quite insightful experience thus far.
Love this video man! Keep it up
So glad to see you're doing videos from Mexico again, your videos from Mexico have so much more personality and put the viewer into the feel of Mexico. You travel videos to me were just the generic Gringos in videos like there are hundreds of on RUclips. So glad to see you back at home.
My sentiments exactly. I think a very large percentage of USA /Canadian viewers have kin in some parts of Europe, Far East, Middle East, China, Italy etc. living in a state of fear of nuclear war and terrorist threats. But when it comes to interesting places to explore, Mexico, Central America, S, America will remain an interesting, adventurous study for years and years and hundreds of years to come. Heck there's still villages and pyramids being discovered and carved from jungles, tribes not yet discovered and people who celebrate life every day with music and dance just because they can. Welcome home Kennons and thank you.
thank you both for your comments and encouragement! Of course we LOVE Mexico--it has been our home for six years now. But we also aren't quite ready to settle down yet. We are working hard to share meaningful stories from all over the place--not only in Mexico. We're getting better every day and truly believe we have stories to tell that are well beyond "just the generic gringos in" type of videos. We'll be back in Mexico some day, don't worry :)
And also--Central America and South America are high on our list! Hopefully soon!
This was cool man hopefully you keep up and enjoy the training part of it.
Great video Greg! Keep killing it in boxing. It’s so nice to see you guys back home!
thank you!
This is so cool. Love the entire concept behind your channel, but this vid especially resonates with me! You did really well for a beginner boxer too.
Damn.. thats right humble as can be, proud of you Man congrats on the new family memeber :)
OMG Excellent video.....and this experience it's gonna be with you forever....👍👍👍
thank you for sharing this it's amazing! also your pronunciation is absolute perfection 👌👌!
Great video man, takes a lot to put yourself in an entry position and adapt. Good for you!
Well done Goyo !! ... It takes courage to step into the ring and you did it just right.
Wow, you sure love to experience Mexico to the fullest! One thousand experience down, one million more to go!
Inspiring video i was struggling with my mental for a bit this opened my eyes thank you
wow. You will never stop to learning new stuff. That is a great attitude in life.
thank you for the encouragement!
Awesome video! You did really good, you actually have good form. Takes a lot to jump in the ring, from a Mexican to another Mexican (you), thank you for loving Mexico.
Hahaha😂 te amo mi güerita!! Felicidades 😃👍, que bueno verlos de nuevo!!! Saludos
Great job! I really enjoyed watching this.
thank you David!
Happy you guys are back in Mexico
Proud of u brother!!!! Keep it up !
You should keep practicing, I think you did good it takes courage to do something that is totally new to you , and you should keep doing it as a therapy to disconnect for a few hrs of the routine in life , awesome vídeo like always 🙏🏽 big hug ‼️
I’ve been missing you guys !!!
You are one of my all-time favorite RUclips channels. I am a boxer, I know how tough training is.
¡ Viva México, Cabrones ! 🇲🇽 🥊
You have guts my brother. Nothing but love and respect from and for the Raza 🇲🇽🙏🏼
You have power, dude. That’s more than most people can say…and you honed it by boxing in Mexico. Respect.
Great video man💯
Much support and love from Texas brother.
Don't freeze up, hands up and elbows tucked, wait for the opportunity and take it , they will respect you for it.✌️🤠
Beautiful reflection at the end, my man. Not everyone has the balls to step into a ring/octagon. You did and learned. Big respect to you. Cheers from Torreón, Coahuila.
Gran vídeo! Sigue así Gregorio!

Como siempre bonito mensaje, que padre que siguen queriendo a mi Mexico. Here Kennons for a couple of cocas at Qatar 😁
Beautiful words amigo ! Thank you for sharing
I have just runned in into your channel . I was born in Mexico michoacan. Jumped the border while I was asleep on my mom's arms. Am americanized so much that the fellow Mexicans and paisas hear me speak Spanish they get surprised by my Spanish. Anyways it filled my heart with joy watching you guys as a couple your videos and supporting Mexico 🇲🇽 at the world cup. You inspired me to plan on attending the next world cup with my 4 yr old daughter. Hopefully when she's 8 well attend a world cup game.
Awesome video
Thank you and congratulations on your journey 👌🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
