    Thailand mate... I used to live there...

    We don't spar with headgear and we spar with 10oz gloves just because we have been to Thailand and were trained that way. (They actually use 8oz, but they don't fit my hands!)

    Here is another video... as you can see I don't hae head guard, but opponent does, opinions on this would be cool too, although tbh, I show boat too much :(

    I think aims for me this next year:

    1. Work on keeping my hands up more
    2. Work on drills to get used to coming inside more
    3. Combinations
    4. Not leaning back / being more confident with sparring people

    1 will help you achieve 4, because the reason you are not confident coming in is a shoddy defense. It's not just the hands up, it's defense in general. It will solve a lot of your problems. You will be less predictable, because at this moment you only employ one means of defense (leaning back), and your opponent knows that. You'll lean back for the first jab, and the second will land flush. If people lean back, double up on the jab, it's easy.

    The reason he has such an easy time keeping you in the distance is because all he has to do is jab. His arms aren't that long, you don't have to Tyson your way inside. Not leaning outside would be a start, if you slip to the side, duck or even simply block you can stay in range.

    Anyway, good luck :good
