After sparring

When I do well, I feel amazing. Especially when I pull of something new/unexpected. I pulled of a Benitez/Hope KO punch(sans the KO) on a cruiserweight. Feint to body, BOOM looping right. fun stuff like that makes me love boxing. I think you improve the fastest by sparring. Its real time experience more than theory and muscle memory. Once you learn what you can and cannot do in the ring, you then have a great idea of what to work on while training.

 

The head ache may be from taking punches. I've experienced that before. Usually its from eating too many punches, yeah.

I never felt sick though. Did you eat good? Are you used to exerting yourself in the way that boxing requires you too.

 

Mate get used to the headaches and feeling crook sometimes after Sparring/fights.

 

What did you eat before and after?

 

Well...getting hit it the head repeatedly is naturally going to cause a heacache at some point :yep. I had one for the rest of the day and my head still felt weird for a few days after. I was worried about this at first but it went away. I don't know about the sick part. Thats never a good sign.

 

IDK, maybe eat more after wards? Doesn't sound like you took in many calories after wards. Boxing is a lot more strenuous than running.

 

IDK I'm officially all out of ideas. lol.

 

I feel similar, except for feeling sick. I usually get a slight headache after sparring. (And found out I "popped" something...)

Feeling sick may be due to your blood sugar/body shot or maybe a shot around the ear/temple. I guess you could tell by if it is full on "ate something off" nausea or "reading in the car" queasy.

Good luck.

 

Why were you going 6 rounds of sparring? That is a lot for an amateur, even when preparing for a tournament. If you haven't been sparring lately, the headache is most likely an accumulation of punches bounced off your dome. The nausea is also a likely side effect which usually means slight concussion. You should not be sparring for a while and personally I wouldn't suggest running either as the pounding also jars the brain. You can do the rest of your drills and soon you will feel better. In the mean time, practice every defensive move you can and work your jab until it feels like your arm will fall off. Once you decide you are good to go as far as sparring, don't go to five or six rounds. Take two or three light rounds for a few sessions. Most of the damage done to fighters is the cummulative effect of the endless rounds of sparring they must do to prepare for one single fight. There are times when it is necessary to go for it in sparring to see where you are in relation to the upcoming bout but doing this on a regular basis in the gym will definitely shorten your career, especially if you take a lot of shots.
