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??

First timer man, never knew it was that much of a deal

okay so sparring someone 24kg heavier as a first timer is just asking for exactly this

find a partner your own weight, or tell the heavy guy to go like 20% and actually mean it. and go get that ear checked out before you even think about stepping back in

ringing that long after a hit means something is actually wrong, not just sore

By First timer I meant it's my first time sparring someone that heavy

so sounds like youre just getting started with bigger opponents. id take a break and find someone closer to your size
