I remember when sparring with a heavyweight, he hit me towards the side of the head and I had an instant ache in my head. Hard to explain, it felt like my had was being squeezed
The reason I made that detailed post is not to try and discourage people from boxing. I love this sport and try everything to bring more people to it. I just think it is important to understand the potentials and create awareness with TBI. There was a post not long ago on rosstraining with a guy fairly new to boxing, older fella, who came on asking about headaches after sparring as he had one that wasn't going away. He got a bunch of replies..."Man up!" "Don't be a wuss...it's part of boxing" etc. etc. And for the most part he listened to those. And his headache continued. He came on a few weeks after that to let people know he had suffered a brain hemmorage and now had to undergo a surgery to repair the lesion. Still not sure how he made out. I am just fairly sure he would have been better off knowing what to look for, the signs, without the bs bravado.
I've had that happen to me too... I really should avoid sparring guys who weigh more than 50 pounds over me.
Gym wars are the pinnacle of fighting outside the prize ring. If you have pain, ****in grow a pair of nads and quit whining. This is boxing *****. You ****in woman, in my gym you would get slapped across the face and asked to perform blowjobs on every fighter. Just stop whining about the pain, just can't stand when people do that.
I can't stand it when people are like this. As far as I know he went through the war, it's not as if he stopped half way through and said he couldn't take anymore. If you've got a weird headache for a couple days after sparring you should speak up, as you say this is boxing *****, you get wollaped in the ****ing head for ****s sake which can lead to some serious damage. :good
I doubt that you have either. If you don't quit then what's the problem? If you have a concussion and don't tell anyone about it then you're just making it worst for yourself.
