So this is my second time sparring since a 9 month layoff...Trainer throws me in there with this cat whos bout 230, real big and muscular but REAL ****in wild. He jumps in and throws a 10 wild punch combination then jumps out...jumps back and and does the same thing over and over. Real hyper and free swinging...
So naturally, I'm thinking that I gotta out think this ****er...Jab him, let him punch himself out, counter, keep my hands high etc. He would come in and throw a 10 punch combo, and maybe catch me with one of them (I can't block all them ****s). I would jab, try and move and control the pace...and hed jump in and do the same thing. I kept moving, kept the him looking at my right hand, went to his body...Landed some jabs, caught him with some rights. Tried to stay controlled and cool BUT...
All in all, the kid would have won the fight if this was a real amateur bout. He got off more shots cuz he threw so god damn many.
I mean, when u watch Oscar or Tito pick apart someone like Mayorga, they make it look alot easier than it really is. I also am still not confident in my stamina and was worried about winding up gassed out so I didn't throw as much as I would have liked to. Whenever I tried to get off some shots here he comes with another nutty wild combination so I have to protect myself.
Then here comes my trainer criticizing me, but fa real what was I to do?
How do yall deal with these kind of fighters? In the 4 years I have been boxing, this kid was THE most wild and hyper I have ever faced. I'm usually the more agressive fighter...but now Im ****in sulking over a spar where I feel that I feel I could have done much better. But at the time I feel like I was doing the right thing. God damn the ego. How would you guys deal with a big strong dude who fights like Ricardo Mayorga x 10????
