I spar in the gym once in awhile. I don't like getting hit, at all, so I try to box like Floyd Mayweather. I stick and move, I keep a high guard, I'm a decent counter puncher but I haven't mastered the shoulder roll. I workout 3-4 times a week and include a combination of weight training, conditioning and technique. It's a hobby for me and I'm always trying to improve my technique, speed and endurance so that when I spar, I look half way decent and don't get my head punched in.

Have you boxed before? How did you do? What was your style?

I kick boxed and did really well until I ran into a 6'5" 230ish lbs black southpaw who was so heavy handed even blocking his punches was devastating. Not having much experience especially against southpaws I eventually walked into a good left and was out on my feet. I knew I wasn't cut out for that high a weight class and getting ktfo is not fun.
My style? I would fight almost out of a high guard exclusively and throw way more jabs than I should. Everything is in my right hand I got nothing with my left. If the opponent is locking up I'll punch myself out banging away at their guard.
I had fun, but I could tell my potential was limited.

I float like a butterfly and sting like bee.
Just playing. Trained in Delgado's Gym here in Denver, where Mike Alvarado currently trains, and also trained a bit in Ron Lyle's Gym in Northeast Denver, but never made anything of it or anything.Last edited by 4Corners; 06-13-2012, 01:22 PM.
