Ok there's this guy in the gym

Thats ******ed, he's acting like a drama queen/ Don't play his game dude.

Don't take any **** bro.

You did the right thing but don't let him push you around by keeping you in a headlock and don't get into a gossipfest.

This dude is insecure.

Earn your respect first. Go hard at him and completely disregard the 'hard/light sparring'. He intends to go hard. So next time he asks look him straight in the eye and tell him you only go hard.

Worry about hurting feelings/being friends later. I doubt you will have any more trouble out of him towards you if you do that and stand your ground.

 

I didn't have any guys like that, but there were guys who were real cocky who didn't really have a right to be.

I love facing those guys in the ring.


Any time a guy is cocky usually he overestimates something about himself, so I like to bring em back to reality.


Its the ones that are honest with you and good natured that can be real trouble in the ring.. they are honest with themselves.

Look at it like your doin him a favor by going hard, your helping him deal with his insecurity, just don't budge when he starts bitching, invite him out of the ring or to shutup and box.


This dude is not being honest with you or himself and thats why hes insecure and I would guess he probably acts cocky too.

 

do you guys know your in a boxing gym?

 

Sounds like the trainers need to do a better job of chiming in and telling the other dude to just stfu.

 

Best thing to do is refuse to spar with him!

If he asks why you won't, tell him its because he's a dick.

You are both there to learn, you can only learn in a controlled environment.

 

Co-sign.

 

tell him to basicallyy to **** off, always seems to work for me when people are doing this kind of thing.

 

Precisely.

 

Amen.

Or, as was already said, just go hard right from the beginning.

Enough of that ****.

 

Either dont spar with him, or if he throws hard, hit him back harder. ****er needs to realize its sparring.

 

i have a guy like that in my gym. we got paired to work on the pads and instead of hitting them he hit me and tried getting a few low blows in so i headbutted the guy and the trainer had to step in. Then when its was my turn to punch he was pushing me against the wall and acting like a dick! anyways its best to ignore assholes like that but its a good experience cos u get them in the ring. Just try to adapt and kick ass my friend lol

 

Dude needs to get KTFO...

 

The next time he asks to do some light sparring just punch him as hard as you can. Then say 'oh I thought we had started already' and walk off.

 

Reddragon is right, best is to not bother with these types, don't even give them the satisfaction. Ignore the guy from now on, that will speak volumes on what an ******* he really is.
