Long story short i was hurt really bad in sparring like year and half ago,it was like something i never felt b4,all my lights shut off and i had no strength in my legs for that second, and after that i was hesitant in sparring, like i lost something and was scared to get hurt again which i did in a fight after that, i got knocked down in in a fight against a 10 kg heavier opp.(dont ask) Year and half forward------ Now when we spar im like frozen,and that led to me droping my head down and getting hit in the back of the head and was knocked down again 3 months ago. I quit boxing because of that. Any experiences like that? Very strange cause i have like 30 + fights but that moment was a turning point where i was like **** i cant believe it i got hurt like that. I started to think **** i had one concussion and amnesia when i was 18 years from soccer and my father died of neurological sickness and it all killed me. I was and am afraid its gonna happen to me, all this news of fighter getting sick and injured arent helping either,i know they are pro but still....shots to the head are shots to the head.
stop with your fights and reduce amount of sparring.. use boxing for fitness and relaxation for a while until you decide what will you do next.
Kinda doing that already . Will start sparring today a little bit, nothing hard. Gave my body and head 3 months recovery. My last knockdown was a flash one(like all i had in my 8 years), i was up as soon as i got down. I was furious at me and the trainer after that cause we didnt use sparring gloves, cause it was supposed to be light sparring. Turned out it wasnt. Shoulda known better.
