Fight with no Sparring?

[DA1CATAS]

I have a fight in 15 days......

I haven't sparred or fought since Sunshine state games.

What do you think about me going ot the fight just with Intense training?

Man u sort of vanished I haven't seen u on the threads in a bit. I actually went two weeks with no sparring just training cardio weight lifting and focus mitts. I actually didn't lose a beat. My timing was better and overall I feel i improved. Have you ever gone into a fight without training?

I've gone into fights without sparring before.. when i was less skilled though...

I probably will spar within the next 2 weeks... but I'm not sure... I think i would be ok... I work specific counter punches and so on the pads often... and i keep getting quicker and quicker.

I also do a ball workout where my body is pounded heavily.. so i feel as if i've been in fights 2 days out of the week also.

Oh okay I got you. Well, I mean you know most folks a say nothing can substitute sparring but I think you ll probably be fine. How did u make out in the one fight u were in without sparring?

Sometimes to help me out my trainer a throw on the body protector and a cage for his face and we'll spar for 5 or 6 rounds. That is when I dont have a partner to spar with. Of course it isn't heavy work but we dont go light that may help out just to keep you sharp if that option is available.

You must be able to go somewhere and get some sparring? Even if it's just light stuff with someone not as good as you (or someone too good), anything is better than nothing. Timing and distance.

Your defense will be fine but your offense will suffer. When you don't spar you can't take advantage of the openings any more. Pads or not, its not the same.

The first time I got sick I did that. Took a fight with about 4 months of not sparring. I won, but that was only because the kids offense was terrible and he couldn't score anything, but his defense was crap and I barely scored ****. Felt like I was pushing my punches and the works.

I've got a fight in a little over a month and I am in almost the same boat as you. I just recently got the go ahead to start sparring again this week so I am sparring every chance I get. When nobody shows up, I track them down.

Well ok I'm going to try to get some somewhere... since I have no coach the other fighters are kinda just sayin whateva to me...

I'm not a likeable boxer i guess...I sparred them a few months ago and injured one..that may be a reason also.

Not a good idea to fight without sparring. If you dont have a coach....how are you gonna fight? Pay a homeless guy $5 to pose as your trainer lol. Sparrings very important.

what part of Florida you at? Are you near West Palm Beach? I'll be away from my gym for a week and i was just planning on jogging and all that but id love to get some sparring in if we could arange it.

i'M IN GAINESVILE... ABOUT 2 HOURS FROM JACKSONVILLE.... 2 1/2 FROM ORLANDO OR TAMPA...

I DONT KNOW HOW FAR WEST PALM IS FROM THOSE. PRALLY NOT CLOSE SINCE I WOULD HAVE VISITED IT PRALLY.

EDIT: OH AND I ASK COACHES THAT COME WITH OTHER FIGHTERS.. THEY HAVE NO PROBLEM HELPING ME.. THEY ANNOUNCE ME AS "UN ATTACHED" AND I'VE DONE IT A FEW TIMES BECAUSE MY LAST COACHES THAT I WON THE SUNSHINE STATE GAMES WITH WEREN'T CERTIFIED AND COULDN'T GET ME IN SO I GOT SOME OTHERS.

Im not sure where Gainsville is but yea i'll be in West Palm for a little over a week starting Monday. Orlando is awful for training too. Damn woud have been fun, im small and probably couldnt prepare you for people your size but i could show you some speed and defense.

i see, i see, you seem to be as poorly managed as myself.

good luck!
