Was this a a••hole move by cloud?

When I was 16 I trained with cloud he came in and out of legends gym there he was generally a nice guy I have spared a lot of pro mostly upcoming mma guys kickboxers but my first time sparing cloud he straight tried take my head off pretty much koed me I didn't even know we were going all out and was 16 is this a top dog in the gym move or a hole move

 

Cloud's a ******

 

Clouds a maricon but you still have a glass jaw

 

In one gym I used to go to I use to sparred with quite a few good Euro level guys and some of them were weird like that, they have to feel like that are superior to everyone and have to show you it. I think it is a ego/confidence thing and personally I think its unecessary but my coach always said that we should suck it up as this is a boxing gym and not dance class so we shouldn't be expecting people to be nice to us. He did step in if it got too rough by which time was already a little late imo as you were already hurt.

 

Eh, personally I'm never rough at first with anybody unless I know them on a personal level. If I spar with somebody I don't really know, or for the first time, I pretty much just use my lead hand, and shoot a few straights in. . .

But I'm not really a "top dog" in my gym either. . .

Probably a bit of an A-hole move. . . At least if it was immediately off the break. . Maybe after a round or two, and you guys gradually work into going all out. . .

 

He was getting your ass ready. George Foreman used to get busted up by Sonny Liston, he said he was better for it.

 

maybe he was in a bad mood, on someone told him something that wasnt true that you said...either way... its a dick move

 

Dick move. Sparring aint about knocking peoples heads of, its experience. If I spar with a lesser opponent I try to work on my technique. Going all out spells self insecurity and ***gotry

 

Yea okay I was sparing a pro I was 16 didn't go down yea i teach kick boxing now every gym I have been apart of we go about 70 percent accept on special occasions I spared pro hw tht day with last name walker cloud hit way harder clouds lucky I didn't double leg his ass but I knew it would been really on then usually smart gym owners wouldnt send a young 16 too get slaughtered on the first day cuz u want them to come bk but I liked it went bk I was only white boy there maybe he's racist

 

luckily u didnt spar with kirkland. he would have knocked your socks off

 

u sparring ethics guys kill me....like mike said its a fight!....u should treat it as such....look at how toney and folyd beat down their opponents and talk **** in sparring....newsflash, nobody is there to be ur friend

 

Nah, you don't pay good money to go to a boxing gym and play paddy cakes. Hard sparring preps you for the real deal. I bet that toughened you up a bit.

 

It goes both ways.

Depends what is appropriate.

In general though, sparring mates should never be trying to stop their peer.

 

You need a strong trainer at the gym, it is about learning and getting ready for fights.

 

U obv never really trained cuz no gym goes 100 percent sparing all the time I compted ammy boxing kickboxing most time u work on strategy and technique in sparicmg now u do have days u go full out but going 100 percent sparing every time u risk injury 80 percent is good mixed with days going full out
