The other guy from our gym. He's an ex-college football player and weighs about 225.

Tel me about it. My coach punches me harder in 18oz gloves than I've ever been hit in a fight with 10oz gloves.

In our gym when someone prepares for a fight spars every day 3-4 rounds*2' with minimum strenth (30-40% of total strenth) and every Friday usually 10-15 rounds (70-80% of total strenth).

That is kickboxing not boxing.
I am sorry about %, it is not a mathematic formula but I couldn't find a way to describe it.

I sparred with a few girls. I dropped one with a liver shot which really was not a hard punch (the entire gym looked at me like what an asshole, it was not intentional), so I can imagine why Kolya is not enthousiastic about it. If you wear head- and boobgear (

) it shouldn't be a problem. You are much better than the girl I sparred, she had no defense at all. I sparred another girl with better fundamentals and it went just fine.

Yeah, we've sparred a bit. I just can't get close because his damn arms are so long.

I get really frustrated. We do a lot of defense, I'll punch and he'll move and block etc. and then he'll punch and I move.
