    I agree with East Side as well. You learn how to handle pressure by being under pressure. Try to relax when he is bombing you. My advice is when there is an opening, hit him very hard back. See how he reacts. However, if you continue to get hurt more than typical, you should assess what you are doing. That's my .02 cents.

    I appreciate it guys, i fully accept that **** just happens and it's up to me to make sure it doesn't happen often. I've been getting better and have been picking the guy apart and hitting him with combos than usual a few weeks ago i was only able to jab him one at a time. So i guess he stepped but honestly i cant help but think of how dangerous it might get, but i chose the sport if anything it's my fault for getting injured. I feel so much more improved than last time i sparred, he hasnt been in on the day we were supposed to sparr so mostly just working out, my movement has gotten better, combos, jabs slipping etc i feel confident that i can make it a tough and good learning sparring session for the both of us, that being said i still am not gonna try to k.o the guy in the ring, im looking out for my improvement the most.

    The idea of just going to war with people who outweigh you and are throwing 100% power into every shot in sparring is yet another outdated piece of boxing gym mentality. Just saying.

    (Note: That's not to say if you're in a sparring session with someone who's trying to **** you up you shouldn't pop him back, I'm referring to this East Side guy)

    some times in boxing you have to take a hit to give one back

    in a ideal world all sparring should not matter about who your sparring but have respect for each other, your both there to get better & learn

    in every sparring round you should start 2mins light.fast & try to out point each other ,then in the last minute go harder

    some times you will get hit hard & you will hit them hard ,,thats boxing

    if he is a Brawler for is style of boxing then he will always hit hard & you need to have a good guard when in close & try to push him away leaning into him followed by a combination

    Maybe he isn't loading up to hit you really hard. You have to understand that when a guy spends a lot of time practicing punching things and his technique is right, he punches hard, no way around it. You can set down and hit harder, but if you are punching properly, you'll hit hard all the time. And when you practice you are trying to be correct in your technique.
    Also, if he is countering you, it will be harder. Because you aren't defending at all, so you take the punch clean, probably don't see it coming, and are most likely moving into it.
    That is the point that you are aspiring to yourself, right? When your offense and defense seamlessly become the same thing?

    if your good enough to give as good as you get ,then do it ,,if he's your standard of boxing ,then get on with it your boxing not dancing & see if he likes is own medicine,,its a tuff sport

    good boxers can control there power when sparring with not so good boxers if they want to

    IMO you need all kinds of sparring.

    Someone trying to take your head off does have value BUT you also need someone you can spar with and try stuff out with (technically sparring).

    You might be able to do a certain move on the pads but you need to test in the ring. If you get smashed everytime you try it then you aren't going to try it many times.

    I'd say move clubs. My trainer puts me in far, far more technical spars than wars. I learn so much more technique and skill rather than just trying to survive.

    Lots of technical sparring and then heavier stuff nearer a fight I'd suggest.

    WTF kind of question is this, the guy is throwing bombs he broke your jaw and you are asking if you should throw bombs also... grow some ****ing balls boxing is not for pussies ... if somebody comes hard in training you do the same until the trainer sees it and stops it if he doesnt well you keep fighting hard and knock him around also


    is just common sense bro what if people suggest to you not to throw bombs also are you just going to spar normally while he is braking your jaw lolololol


    :hat

    I guess you would speak to the coach. Personally I like when someone goes full out on me. It makes you better at improving your skills. Got chin checked the other day sparring this girl, my jaw still hurt. No complaints, it's what I asked for.

    The guy who hurt me a month ago was being condesending to a newbie of a month while beating him up in sparring...when I am back to speed, I will beat the **** out of this guy...
