What's best solution to this? Was sparring with a guy who had his second lesson today. And tapped him on the nose. It's like I flipped a switch, he flipped out on me and lost all self control and just started wailing me with full powered haymakers like he was going berserk. I told him to take it easy since it's just sparring but then he did it again and even aimed for the back of my head. Luckily he only hit my lower jaw because I did not expect him to flip out like that, now it feels a bit stiff. Later he was even bragging to his friends how he "nearly knocked me out"
im never the first to instigate in sparring but if they come to you wanting knockout you out, you have to brawl with them, alot of those wild punches are so easy to duck and slip. and if not a high gaurd will usually take most of the impact away, unless he hits like a mule. but this is my idea of looking at things being the shorter/pressure fighter. any bets his footwork has gone to **** when all he is doing is bombing away, try and circle away from him with high gaurd using the whole ring, you could make him look silly without throwing a punch.
When i spar and that happens i let it slide once. If he swings hard for me as if it was a real fight i hit him as if it was a real fight as well. Easy. Sparring is for learning but imo a man should never let anyone take liberties with him. And if he's bragging shut his mouth in sparring. It's boxing you can just say you didnt mean to hurt him you just though he could take more of a punch then just a tap.
haha im mainly an defensive sort of fighter so when that happens i just usually try to avoid the punches and dodge them as these incidences usually happen mostly when i spar with new boxers. The new boxers feel as though they have to prove something and treat sparring like their pro fight ( but i understand cause i went through it ). but if i find that they are going overboard...then i will throw back hard punches or just stop sparring with them
I agree with this. You could watch De La Hoya vs Mayorga as a blue print. Make him miss with a high guard and come back at him with short powerful shots he'll probably won't even see coming. :good
I use to love when guys came at me wild. I'd sidestep them and clock them on the way past me. I really liked it if they came at me wild and just headhunting. That way when the opportunity presented itself, I'd bend at the waist and fire a hard straight right into the solar plexus. That punch usually cost them their wind for several seconds and made them think twice about just winging it. As for him bragging afterwards, next time you spar, make sure he is picking leather out of his teeth. That should stop the boasting.
I only had this once. Guys just started swinging mad and i was like "Dude, chill". He stopped to listen and then went all out again. I just ran for a minute or so and he got tired. I just started picking shots and was easily landing them. Before we finished he threw another wild hook and i blocked it with my elbow. Hurt him really bad. He stopped the training session. When i started i hurt three or for guys with my elbow. I cant stand when guys go all out on me when i have no idea what to do or am really tired. Someone throws anything that i can block with my elbow i will do it and most of the time it hurt really bad.
Tell them to chill the **** out. If they don't keep composed and them hit him as hard as you ****ing can.
happens all the time in gyms everywhere, is up to the trainer to make sure the boxers have discipline but is up to the boxers to earn the respect inside that ring... so give it back and dont back down.. simple.. sparring doesnt have to bee comfortable either sometimes it has to be challenging is all about pride and manhood must of the time when boxers are brand new especially if two guys that dont know each other are sparring or a brand new fighter is sparring with some of the old ones... :hat
Yeah, that would be annoying. Typically these guys run out of steam because they try to hit you as hard as they can. Stay close to him and keep hitting him in the body. There is nobody who is new that knows how to throw inside punches. All they've got are haymakers. However, if he is throwing as hard as he can, sometimes you have to humble people. Therefore, you may have to jack him up until he learns.
i like to think im pretty fair guy. to the point where me and a mate are mine are head and shoulders above the rest of the class ( new intake of newbies) and i honestly dont mind. When we get partnered up we go for it however with any of the others we take it easy! However every so often you get someone who walks in the gym thinking he needs to prove a point and sometimes there bloody big new or not! You can warn them to take it easy but sometimes theres only one way to make them understand
