Tuesday I was suppose to go sparring at a different gym tomorrow, but I realized it's my mother's birthday tomorrow so I'm gonna hang out with my mom tomorrow instead of going to spar, since I can spar next week, but birthdays come only once a year. Anyways, did a lot of good work today again, feels like my stamina is getting better. Workout 15 minute of shadow boxing, mostly warm up this time, but focusing again on head movement after punching. 10 minute of mitts with my coach, but this one was little different, he didn't tell me what punches to throw, but just held out his mitt for specific punches, worked on a lot of countering and blocking. 4 rounds of heavy bag, focusing on power and doing intervals in between 3 sets of push ups 10 reps, 3 sets of decline sit ups 13 reps 3 sets of hide and seek 12 reps with medicine ball.

Did 5 rounds of sparring, some rounds were easy because some of my opponents were still new, but some just went at it and try to knock me out, but they payed for it by getting hit with hard counters. Overall I had good counter punching in sparring today, but I need to start initiating more in sparring and get better stamina.

Thursday Went to spar at a different gym today, didn't know it was today, was very sudden, but it was good to be back to sparring at different gyms. Sparring I sparred against a guy I sparred twice and it was always good sparring we had, last time I got a swollen nose and bloody nose while sparring with this guy. This time I got bloody nose again, but not a swollen nose. Round 1 - I started off slow moving my head and hand to feint then throwing some jabs and lead straights. This guy punches hard, but his punches are mostly very telegraphed so I only needed to pay attention to his right hand, and being a southpaw I just slip under his right to the left then come back with a left hook to the head. Everything went well, I countered well and countered off inside too. Round 2 - Again same thing pretty much countering until last minute of the round he clocks me hard with his right hand. I get on the rope, but I still throw back with my hand up. Round 3 - The only round I probably lost, the other guy started to throw his jabs to get closer to me, then he would just lean on me on the ropes then throw hard shots, I tried to get out of the ropes, but I couldn't so I just tried to counter on the inside on the ropes, but I should have gone out of the ropes, that's what got me the bloody nose. This round the other guy definitely won. Another good day of sparring and I've improved on my counter punching and hitting off the ropes. I need to work on getting off the ropes and better defense to take care of myself.
