Had my first proper sparring session tonight. I was up against a 200lb heavy handed fella whose about 5'9 or 5'10. I'm 6'3" and weigh 238 pounds. I loved every second of it. We basically did 2 rounds. I didn't throw any straight rights for the 2 rounds, I just worked my jab and used my reach to my advantage and kept him off at a distance. Got caught with a couple of good firm jabs but I took them well and had a big grin on my face. My sparring partner said I've got good accuracy and a very heavy jab that stunned him when it connected.

Can't wait for my next session!

I've only been attending the gym twice a week for the last 2 months. The first 2 months I was attending here and there. Plus they're very strict about having your medical done first before you spar.

I wouldn't say that. Especially for someone who's very new to the sport, I probably wouldn't put them into the ring for a full on spar maybe for 3-4 months.

Anyways, good job man, hope you enjoyed it.

nice one pal. Well done mate - my gym wanted me to put in for the medical before sparring - i reckon there getting quite strict in the ABA ( your medical will surely be another reason why it has taken 3 -4 months for you to get in the ring.)

What weight your planning to fight at? You look like a big lad, - i take it you'd be a senior (over 19) we might end up on the same show perhaps if i visit down south, or you come north.

Well done about your first spar mate. keep it up, sparrings mint isn't it.
