Serious Question about Boxing Injuries to amatuer athletes

does it take a while for your left shoulder (for a righty) to get used to throwing hooks. because mine kinda hurts from throwing hooks Hurts or is sore? If it's sore, it's most likely because you probably don't use your non-dominant arm that much and boxing (for most) pushes your non dominant hand to be your primary weapon. Mine used to get sore when i started out and a lot of times i would get really bad aches in my shoulders and joints. It went away after a few months. Your arm does get used to it after a couple of months. If it hurts, explain how it hurts.

I've gotten my bell rung once or twice and forgotten what was going on for a second or two. Like a lot of other people have said already, a lot of it's the fatigue of sparring. I've seen a lot of guys not come back after sparring for the first time, so it says something if you go back. Good luck.

The first time I sparred I got caught with a mean left uppercut straight right hand combination. I had the same headache for two days. I havent had any headaches since then I guess my body got used to sparring or something's wrong with me and I wont find out what until im 70. You should be good though, i've seen alotta people knocked out or dropped and where just fine after words.

After a while you'll get used to it, manny said he pretends he didnt get hit i guess its kinda like a mental thing to help shrug it off, but remember to move ur head and always cover up

You should take it a little easier next time out. You don't have to kill each other every time out. Keep you chin tucked and your hands up. yeah the trainers there actually commented to me that i was not keeping my chin tucked and i was holding my jab hand too low when my hands were up so it wasnt defending my face at all.

I think the post-sparring feeling you are thinking of is being very tired. When begginers start sparring most tend to have difficulty with proper breathing patterns causing lack of oxygen to the head (some high level pros do simular things). After breathing heavy for so long will definetly cause to you be light heading and out of it (tired), especailly if you got rocked during the sparring. As for the shots you took, sounds like you just got your bell rung. It will happen to anyone if they someone connects with a very solid punch cleanly. This would be worse if you didnt see the punch coming, as a novice that tends to happen often. Practice deap breathing in sparring and do some roadwork on a regular basic and you should be fine I would think. yeah i was definitely extremely tired and i have noticed i dont really have a good breathing technique. i've noticed that most people who have been boxing for a while make a unique breathing noise when they throw punches. i'm not too sure how to do this correctly.
