    Just sparred the wildest son of a ***** ever

    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????

      Win the psychological battle. I deal with a real live wire of a kid every single week in sparring. He's ok until he gets hit and then he starts crumbling psychologically.

      Counter him to the point where his brain associates putting his hands out in front of him, with missing and eating bombs. He'll soon calm the **** down.

        No doubt...thats what i was trying to but the ring rust wasn't really kind to me. ****!

        And then, as soon as dude gets tired from punching himself out, at the end of that round he comes up to me and says "thanks for the work" and leaves the ring. What the hell....

          Just start punching wildly and regard defense-thats what desperate measures call for. If your not fast enough to dodge him then you better beat him at his own game(easy for me to say, im 135).

            Ya know whats crazy...is that i usually fight that way, straight brawling. But the last time I sparred I was too wild and rugged and had an epiphany of sorts...Decided I was done with that ****. I promised that I was gonna fight smarter, not throw 10 punches to land 1, instead use smarts to throw 3 punches and land 2. Be relaxed, control a fight with the jab, use good defense. All in all just to practice the sweet science, not do street fighting in the ring. Wanted to focus more on being a skilled tactician.

            Then when I do that I wished I brawled. And when I brawl I wish I boxed more.

            ****in catch 22. Thats boxing for ya.

              Id just put my guard up real high, walk in expecting to take some body shots, walk into him, then push him off with your guard when you get real close then pop a jab and follow with a hard hook.

              The point is that whilst you are charging with your guard up, he is punching, after taking some punshiment you will expect him to take a breather, thats when you throw his head off by poping a quick jab and throwing a left hook or something.

              But then you have to be confident in your power...

              With guys like that you either gotta show that you can take a beating so they will just have to relax not to gas, or show them your strength, and then respect will make them change their game plan and box a more calm fight.

              But I would say thats how I always fought/fight.

              Just being smart, let them gas a bit and throw a few real hard effective punches or just **** their face up with hard jabs.

                No doubt...good words man.

                Ive kinda tired of my old style of unintelligent brawling. Im still coping with the fact that I didnt all out brawl with somebody, I need to stay focused on what this sport really is all about. Once I work off the rust and continue to practice technique then I'm sure I will be more satisfied with my new approach.

                  It's good to learn the sport inside and out, but nothing's more satisfying than to go toe to toe with someone, trade your best shots, and come out ahead. You just feel like the superior animal, like nature loves you more.

                    A swarmy basterd huh? lol
                    I'll give you some insight. His style is the best to defeat a half assed "boxer" And its a mind game more than anything. He will get you out of your game plan, expose you and crush you. Thats the theory anyway. Do not abandon the jab and form of a boxer. He will get inside this is when you have to punch faster and tighter. "no wide shots". Move your head and counter with tight fast punches and get the hell out of there let him chase you all night or day. with the same tactics. Either you are going to catch him coming in or he'll run out of gas. Remeber this to its chess not checkers. Set him up watch what he is doing close enough and you can control the chaos. You can set him up to come in a certain way that you know you can drop the bomb on him. From what I read he seems somewhat repetitive so it should be easy. Some guys all you have to do is make a move once or twice and then feint that move and ther are wide open. You were right by having to out think him Do it.
