I like getting hit, and I'm going to spar for first time tomorrow. Need advice?

Your first time sparring, you'll get hit. You'll get hit the thousandth time you spar.

Sounds really stupid, but it's the best advice I was ever given and the best I've ever gave out.

You'll have a hundred thoughts going through your head when you start, it is vital that you breathe. Sounds stupid, but I think maybe seven out of ten people get so caught up in what their doing, that they forget to breathe properly, and weaken themselves as a result.

Breathe.

 

yeah breathe, you'll get really tired if you don't. If you don't breathe you'll only last 2 rounds.

 

My advice will be for you to block with your face every single punch your opponent throws. That is sure to get your opponent tired and you can have more chance to KTFO since he will be tired from hitting...err...throwing punches while you were blocking them all with your face. :good Good Luck! I am sure those videos from YouTube you studied and the advice you get here on ESB will make you an ATG!

 

First time, I could hardly even hold my arms up after a round Gloves weigh an absoloute tonne when you're exhausted.

 

If you like to be hit, why do you need advice. Don't protect yourself at any time and you'll be fine. Hands down and chin out.

 

Bull****, nobody likes getting hit, and if you do.. you're in the wrong sport.

 

yeah happened to me too, it's very embarrassing.

 

It's happened to us all.

Also common: unconsciously developing a tell before throwing a certain punch or combo. In my case, taking a little too hard of a quick breath before throwing a jab. An instructor friend of mine was dominating me until he told me what I was doing.

 

Have Mcgirt close so he can pull the plug if things go bad

 

Why is this in the general discussion post it in the amateur boxing section. There's a slight trickle of arrogance in your post so you're gonna have people post some sarcastic comments.

 

You like getting hit??? I guess you friend daoesnt have any power in his punches, dont know whats there to like sometimes my jaw hurts for a few days after sparring not enjoyable at all, plus in boxing your objective is to hit and not get hit...

 

I could spar you, I promise you wouldn't like getting hit after our session.

 

Shutup you buffoon

 

BONUS: he'll keep you well hydrated.

 

Punch them on the balls to get a stoppage and improve your sparring record to 1 win 22 losses and 1 win by stoppage.
