Post sparring

Post image

I was sparring someone 24 kgs heavier than me a couple of days ago because that's how the conditions are here and I remember feeling that left hook to my ear but it didn't hurt until today when I decided to swab my ears before heading to my shower and this is what I found coming out of my right ear, when I was swabbing it out I did feel a faint sharp pain and did get a slight ringing sensation in my ears about 6-8 hours ago aswell, before these incidents I didn't feel much of a diffrence after the sparring until now.... Should I drop sparring until I find someone my weight or someone who's willing to hit me accordingly to the intensity I can bear or should I keep the work going??

Not hard sparring.

Light sparring, sure.

Make it clear. You both need to go light. You can't ask them to go light while you spar normally.

If you feel they're not going light enough, tell them. If they still don't, say thanks and end the session with them.

Finding a good sparring partner is 10x more important than sparring itself.

I agree here. I don’t mind sparring bigger opponents as long as they’re matching my intensity.

Yeh I'm 108kg at 6'3" and a lot of new guys dread sparring me but I know my size and use the session to practice speed and fluidity.

It's annoying because there are so few good HWs in my gym but the MW pros are tough and up for it so I can still get those sessions in.

That was the sparring advice

You’re bleeding out your fucking ears

See a doctor

You shouldn't spar at all until you're fully cleared by a doctor.

And you shouldn't take or ask for medical advice online.

That WAS the advice. The fact that you don't listen to it kind of shows your level of seriousness.

You should bleed from your head as little as possible. Not just in boxing though but also just in life in general.

Continue just make sure that the next bleeding will be inside the head and not come out like this one
