yeah the coach went all quiet for a couple weeks and for about a week didn't make eye contact with the student who whooped his ass. But he is back to his normal ways now. what sort of coach challenges one of his students? pretty stupid in my opinion.
From my experience, the guys that miss a lot are usually MMA fighters. They're always trying to throw bombs at the expense of keeping their balance. I'm surprised that they're able to stay upright at all. Getting hit in the face while doing drills on the mitts suck, especially when your not expecting it. It always reminds me of Ricky Hatton for some reason.
For some reason guys would always come up to our trainer and CHALLENGE him for a few sparring rounds. It never ends well for the other guy though. Our trainer would land at will and would hardly get hit. One time I felt queasy just watching him land one liver shot after another. OUCH!
Yes. I'm the only southpaw in our gym so naturally he sometimes gets mixed up. He's the most chilled, laid back person you'd ever meet so he never takes offense to it and he's never taken one that was a really hard punch. It goes both ways though, he's also clocked me if I dropped my hand or something..lol. However, in sparring, much different. I've hit him with some hard, hard punches to the body and head.

[/QUOTE] I second that, i got diagnosed with a concussion when that happened (it wasn't my trainer that i was doing the drills with.) that way first time i went to a boxing gym as well.
I have been many times whilst holding the pads - it happens. Usually, the shot is deflected after hitting the pad near the edge. Not been hit with anything hard yet though, but plenty of near misses. It will happen if you hold the pads in a the right place (or the wrong place haha).
When we used to spar with our coach in the beginings he used to beat us up,although not bad,we would mostly be exhausted cause he has this weird old german style. Bam 3 years later he want to spar me and i say ofc. I hate my club cause no one has sparring gloves,everybody spars with 10-12 0z gloves,cheap and stupid *******s. I got myself 18 oz cause i go to different clubes to spar. Anyway i droped him 2 times in the body,cause it got heated pretty quickly so he doesnt spar anymore. EDIT:I hit one guy during mitt sesion,in the chest.
some times i get hit when i sparr or of the pads but i just carry on ,,,its when i get hit & they smile ,,now thats when its time to make them pay in a helpfull why of course
