Does Sparring Generally Take Its Toll On You Quickly

It's not a bad idea to rest after a night of 5 rounds, especially if you had been sick recently. I never felt the effects to sparring too much beyond the feelings of a normal boxing workout, but 5 rounds is a decent amount (possibly even more so depending on what you did that day). Work it in your schedule so you can take a day off after sparring when you go certain days of the week.

 

Take it day by day to be honest I would think it's probably more the fact you've had a bad cold recently which will put your recovery time down a bit. It could just be a one off for you though there's been times when i've done 10+ rounds of sparring took a bit of a beating and felt good the next day whereas other times i've done 3-4 rounds and felt like crap the next day.

 

You can be destroyed if you have a stupid, brave trainer who allows you to spar when you're hopelessly overmatched against an amateur or a pro who only goes to war, 'n doesn't use sparring as a learning experience.

Most important lesson is: Ya gotta have a trainer who's looking after your welfare, makin' sure ya develop, and not sparring monsters, soya get hurt 'n discouraged.

Or a trainer who puts you in with a amateur who has gone to quater finals in World Championships to get his confidence up, I put on a defencive masterclass (more like McCloskey vs Khan) but still.

Take a day or 2 off, if You are being overmatched in sparring fight like a '*****', that's what I do and most do it aswell they just won't admit it, fight defencive and if you can manage to counter the other guy few times with clean punches - after the sparring you can say you dominated based on clean punches. Ice is always good, you can get some ointments aswell fore sore muscles and joints

 

Look at alot of Philly fighters, alot of promising careers were ruined by the famous gym wars.

 

I was sparring at my gym and the trainer prefers shark tank type training.

3 minutes of sparring, one minute rest and then jump straight into someone else. It's irritating when people don't wear the right gloves and think its a real fight trying to kill you. That's even more annoying.

 

Don't ya hate a loose-fitting head guard that swivels, obscuring your vision every time you're even jabbed, BK?
