ok so i recently had surgery on my deviated septum and my doctor said i cud start sparring last thursday. so i sparred last thursday and it hurt like a btich everytime i got hit in the nose. so anyway im sparring again tomorrow and it still hurts wen i touch it. any ideas on wat to put on my nose so it wil heal up quicker? i tried neosporin and vaseline so far. any other tips/ thanks.
Hold your gloves in front of your face and move your head when punches come at you. That should help. :deal Or wait another week or two.
lol i get my ass BEAT every single time i spar lol bad. but i guess this will give me more inspiration to get better at head movemtn lol so il try that. any other ideas? wat shud i put on the cut wen it opens up agan?
lol i have pretty good defense considereing my style is slugger/brawler type nd ive only been sparring for a short period of time.. but everyone at my gym has been fighting for years and have real good amateur records and a few pros so they kickc the **** out of me hahah
i dont thinki ever actually won a sparring match. i mean a one or 2 times i did pretty well and we were neck and neck but thats about it
Every time you got hit in the nose? :huh Why are you getting hit in the nose? If you watch Friday Night Fights you will hear Teddy Atlas carping on about moving your head. Which part of that didn't you (or your trainer) understand?
1. Take more time off from sparring 2. Work on your defense in that time 3. When you do finally spar, ask them to aim at the body and at your head gear and explain that you had your nose fixed. If they are respectful and know what they are doing, it shouldn't be a problem.
Why are you getting hit on the nose so much? I assume they are either extremely good at their game or it is a defense issue on your part. Its hard to tell unless you've analysed some footage or gotten third party feedback why you are sustaining so much 'in your face'. Regardless of your sparring partner's egotistic dimensions -=Pro or Am=- should give you some feedback. Even if you dropped your guard for a split -even millisecond you may not be aware of it. They can see what you dont see, thats why you get hit. And thats why you should ask. You're there to learn.
Better to take some time off and let it heal. Especially if your gym only contains people much more skilled than you. By the way, i don't know if you're a troll or not, but never having won a sparring round is pretty sick. How long have you been boxing? Not that i question your ability, but maybe it would be better to seek a gym with more beginners. If i'd lost all my rounds, i probably would've lost motivation.
no i get more motiviation ebcasue i no in a sstreet fight or MMA fight i wud kick the **** out of all of them. so i just get more and more motivated so i can beat them in boxing to. BTW i did rly well against a kid who wrecked me last week. this week i sparred him and we were neck adn neck
You would own them in a street fight or mma fight though you get beatdowns every sparring session:huh.. You think having the gloves/headgear off and outside a ring you become such a better fighter??
