Getting hit sparring

thats good your stepping up the intensity but unfortunately thats the only good thing i've read in this post. you sound like a good lad, but keep your good intentions for OUT of the ring mate. making noises when you get punched might either mean your heart is not in it or you have breathing problems when fighting/sparring? i have to say you can't feel bad for your adversary in the ring, if you feel bad to hit someone in sparring what if your trainer puts you into a fight? with an attitude like that you may end up getting hurt because more often than not the other guy will not feel bad about cracking you! in my gym if theres signs of guys feeling bad or congratulating each other on landing good shots in sparring we have to stop and do 20 push ups and 3 extra rounds. i can understand if maybe you was fooling about with a pal and you feel bad, thats a bit different but when it comes to sparring in the gym or fighting on a show, drop that, or you will get dropped. protect yourself at all times, be clever in the ring, and throw every shot with bad intentions! all the best.

 

sorry man there's no place for being gentle once your in the boxing ring. and concentrate on keeping a poker face next time u get hit hard. keep focusing on keeping a poker face when u get hit hard and eventually you can do it easily

 

You become conditioned to the shots, but a hard, surprise shot can still cause an involuntary reaction.

A far as sparring a dude with no headgear... That's on him if he gets hurt. 99% of guys do it for ego. Just make sure you remember this idea is stupid, and to be honest, a coach should forbid it.

 

Yeah, grunting and groaning in front of a boxing opponent is sort of like being a bleeding tuna in front of a shark.

But one time being nice in the ring to a sparring partner had an unusual consequence. Thinking that barely catching the sparring partner with a punch would be less injurious actually backfired. The knowledge of what trainers mean when they say "catch him on the end of your punches" was suddenly understood, you know the distance that the punch has maximum leverage. The sparring partner did not like that particular lesson even if he doesn't remember it.

 

Comes with experience and improved conditioning and abdominal muscles (in my opinion). Some guys never really learn to mask it, and some do - myself included. And sometimes, guys who verbalize pain can be a little comical. But laughing while sparring isn't exactly a bad thing either.

 

Of course there is. Nothing you have said indicates you are not cut out for the sport.

You are new. With experience, these "issues" will likely subside. Absolutely nothing to be concerned about at this stage.

 

i agree with this guy pal. your not long into the sport and as he said experience will not be a factor. there really is no substitute for experience in boxing. keep at it bud. don't give up and don't let people put you down, just get into a boxers mindset when your in that ring e.g. make them miss and when you get a punch on them DON'T feel bad lol:thumbsup

 

theres no substitute for experience !!!! That was my trainers favourite phrase 40 years ago:good and proved to be true.

 

People go out running, doesn't mean they're going to run a marathon.

 

Just keep on climbing into that ring mate. :good

(...and trying not to get carried back out lol!).

 

:thumbsup well done pal keep it up
