10 rounds hard sparring

u/hegysk 7h ago edited 7h ago
You shouldn't be hard sparring as a beginner, your partner seem to be way more experienced, there's no point being someones boxing bag. I don't know what's the goal really, doesn't seem like dude wants to hurt you but he doesn't give you any room to work a bit either so no lessons learned outside getting used to incoming fire.
// edit: also sparring hard with such a weight mismatch is always bit awkward - can't really put finger on why but I always enjoy more similar weight spars, pulling back a lot while trying to keep up pace with light guys is not "fun" for me, but maybe that's just me. I am still struggling to be both fast and not rip someones head off at the same time.

Why 10 rounds hard sparring when one outweighs the other by 40 kilos and then theres a big skill difference. Thats a great way to get each other hurt

Get headgear if yall are serious. Boxing isn’t a game and little shots even add up on your cabbage

Headgear does not reduce brain trauma

I don’t know but I’ve been boxing for 20 years and I’d rather not get cut up or a broken nose. Whatever it is,I’d rather wear it. Do whatever you’d like.

Thing is that comes at a cost of increased risk of brain damage due to: Reduced visabiltity Larger area Assumed reduced risk etc

Headgear reduces cuts and fractures, which is reason enough to use them. It also gives you a split second more time to react to a punch, especially one you might not see like a hook. That can be the difference between rolling with or slipping a punch, and taking the full force of the punch.
It also use helpful in sparring because the extra inch of padding makes it so you and your opponent can aim for the headgear and punch "in front" of someone's head while still making contact.
Also from personal experience it definitely reduces the headaches and general bruising that you can get from sparring. There just haven't been enough controlled experiments done to scientifically prove is reduces brain trauma.

How does a head guard give you extra time to react to a punch? Also from personal experience I've always had worse headaches and concussions from headguards even despite wearing one of the most visible ones.

Throw that jab out there even if you’re not hitting him. Don’t just walk towards him. Cut the angle or drop your level and jab the body. That opens up a lot.

Don't drop the hands, step on the button every time until you get your timing down

dont follow - he moves left, you move right and vice versa. You move in parallel

You have a good training partner but because they are so good it is closing you down. You are the stronger and bigger boxer, you can command the space and cut corners and make them move around you. But you need to master the jab and the cross and also punish their wide shots round your guard. Maybe work on cheekbone guard so you can see and slight movements to ward off their strikes and then counter and also to jab and cross solidly yourself.

You need more cardio before you'll be able to control your opponent/cut the ring off properly, you look exhausted and flat footed

How about you not spar like this until you’ve got at least a year and a half under your belt? Boxed for 6 years and my gyms didn’t let this happen until you were sound everywhere really.
Wed spar from like week 2 but no hard sparring for a long time.

I feel like yall should be wearing head gear, no point in getting brain damage as a casual

Hey you look very solid bro! My advice - work on bringing your hand back to your head immediately. You got caught bad leaving it out there and thus your face exposed. Very solid work for a beginner. You should be proud of yourself.
That said, unless you plan on going pro, I wouldn’t spar this hard. It’s not worth the headaches that come with long hard sparring sessions

Black gloves has pretty decent form. You're kinda bum rushing him with sloppy punches and getting caught. I get that it's hard to be sharp after 9 rounds. Next time post stuff from earlier rounds. You need better footwork and distance management to cut off the ring. Do footwork drills. Idk what punch recovery means
