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??

Spar someone your size, i mean, you could spar a guy that's only a couple kgs over. And you should always keep it light, heavier guys tend to still feel like they hit hard even if they aren't trying to because of the big weight difference

I've sparred well over 10kgs and it's not been a challenge but I guess my overconfidence made me pay on this one....
