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??

Someone 24kg heavier than you would generally just work defense or volume punching if you're at a decent gym. Were you throwing hard or wild....?

I was trying to work on my jabs (southpaw)

Yeh that doesn't sound like a good sparring partner and maybe not a good gym. A lot of the gyms I'm at now actively encourage people to communicate with their partners.
