Dealing With A Sparring Partner Who Wants to kill you in sparring sessions

I assume your coach is overseeing these sparring sessions in which case he should **** him off. If he isn't over seeing them, have a quiet word with him, then he should **** him off.

If he doesn't **** him off then you're at the wrong club.

 

dont spar with him.. or punish him when you see that last punch coming, make your gameplan for him and use it next time, you obviously have to change something if you want to neutralise him, or dont spar with that guy until you find the way to defend and counter him.

 

Don't spar with him, ever again. I got hurt by a heavyweight, and I realized that he would do somethign stupider if we sparred again. Luckily he just quit the class, but if I ever got put in a position where I would lose weeks or months due to someone else's ****-up, I would quit and say 'no mas'!

Make an excuse and get out. We all know there is good and bad sparring.

 

those are the best conditions for you to improve. you won't learn much about fighting doing it half speed but you will learn how to keep your composure and to fire in between his bombs when under real fire if you keep showing up day after day to fight with him again.. where i came from we sparred hard every time out. no better time to learn how to fight than when under heavy fire. hard sparring with good fighters will make your actuall bouts seem like cake walks comparitively speaking. my jaw was knocked out of alignment years ago, it's just something that you'll have to deal with.

 

Ive had a lot of hard rounds where I got hit full blast, but I still back off if a guy runs off the mats.

There are things I won't do in sparring, even if they could help me hurt the other guy. There is a difference...

 

:rofl:rofl

 

Is he heavier than you?

There are guys who are nearly twice my weight and throw bombs at my gym. I just avoid them since even if I am the better boxer, one shot and I'm out.

If he's the same weight then just counter him. Guys who throw bombs during sparring often have short tempers, nothing makes them more furious than a straight to the gut. Once they start swinging wildly they leave so much holes in their guard that you can easily land a liver shot. Hit him so hard that he starts fearing you, and that he will refrain from hitting you hard since he know he will get hit harder.

If you have to break his nose or pop his ear drums, that will discourage him to ever hit you hard again

 

How long have you been sparring? If you only have a few weeks sparring then you need to talk to your coach about sparring somebody else. If you've got plenty of experience sparring then just get on with it.

 

You're misrepresenting our argument.

I also like how you brag about yourself and the "champions" you beat up in sparring.

 

:rofl:rofl)

 

You got to counter the dude and make him miss, but most importantly, ATTACK instead of reacting to what he does. It seems like his aggression controls the pace of the sparring match.

You can make him real humble with one really good shot, make sure to drive your force into the floor and use your gravity to put some power into the punch. If he's fighting the way he is, there will be a lot of opportunity for you to find an opening.

 

Shut the **** up about yourself. This thread is about someone else.

It's not that I doubt your "achievements," its that I don't care about them nor are they relevant in this thread.
