    Hello, I'm have started boxing in the last 3-4 weeks, sparring already, like I said I'm 6"7 6"8, 103kg (skinny compare to others), it's been hard for me to judge the distance, I keep throwing the jab, double jab, 1-2, but get tired, the lads who I spar say I'm awkard to spar but no power on my jab as I'm not stepping in, also I take centre ring but when the guy dosent come in I tend to go forward and take the fight to him, I'm sure this is a tactic for him, should I just wait and let anyone take me off my game plan?

    Any advice on the about? Build more power? How do I increase the power on my jab????

    Ive started to watch David Price on YouTube who I spar like, is there anyone else I could watch?

    My advice, is stop sparring and get onto the bags and shadow boxing, with a coach helping you out.

    Was going to say the same thing.

    You can't use skill when your muscles and lungs are screaming bloody murder.
