Sparred my first time, against a Pro.

I haven't yet but I was working with a guy at my gym who recently sparred Nate Campbell before he went into training camp for his fight on the Morales/Maidana card. Fights at light heavy so he put Nate on his ass. my work schedule sucks though so I wasn't able to make it to the gym and see it.

 

Weren't you "Toney"? I just vaguely remember a Finish guy with a Toney avatar who had 40 odd amateur fights or so.

 

sparred peter quillin he broke my nose
sparred sechew powell he took it easy
sparred a coupe oldschoolers who people wont remember, they taught me the most and hit the hardest.

 

I've a list on here of the guys I've sparred and fought- it's some list I'll try find it later

 

Add tommy coyle 8-0 pro

Dezzie higginson British masters champion

Kenny Anderson commonwealth games gold medallist

 

Thats a ****ing impressive list :L

Out of the lot of them who would you say most challenged you?

and what was the result of your fight with Ricky Burns?

 

Burns beat me on points but I gave him a good contest. Caught him with a couple of decent shots but he was too good at that stage, and he's got better.

The best I've shared the ring with is Kenny Anderson. He's so talented.

 

Yeah i have seen a couple of Burns' fights, he is good.

Anywhere i can watch some of these fights? Would be quite interesting watching some early stage pro boxing matches.

 

ok, its complete BS story that people make up and tell you, especially if u cant bring us the pros name,

No way a 24-0 pro gets dropped 4 times by someone with hardly any experience in sparring with thicker gloves and headgear.

Link to Video footage or it never happened.

 

A pro sparring a rookie is one of the best things to watch. If you're a student of the game.

 

I have been going to a boxing gym once a week since mid February 2011 having never boxed before. I did some sparring (2.5 rounds) last night for the first time. It was against a couple of guys in the gym who have been going a bit longer than me, but not much longer. It wasn't proper sparring really, mainly throwing jabs.

I was not landing much and getting hit too often I think. Is this a normal experience for first time sparring?

I enjoyed it but at the same time it knocked my confidence a bit.

 

Course, u get better by making mistakes
