I seriously disagree with that. You dont train with guys that dont know what they're doing because you wont learn anything that way. You should always seek to spar with a more skilled opponent. The only way sparring with a more skilled opponent becomes useless is if they always go for the knockout...which then defeats the purpose of sparring at all.
So I trained at my boxing gym. This is what my trainer told me

Yeah, it takes LOTS of practice to master the Philly shell defense. It takes a lot of timing to calculate every punch and keep your hand in a position where you aren't leaving something open.. One bad move and you're pretty much opening yourself for flush body shots, and if those don't make you fold, they'll at least make you drop your hands so they can go upstairs and finish you off.
But as your trainer said, the first thing you want to do is get into shape. That'll help with your overall speed, power, reflexes, etc. You gotta make sure they're top notch to reach your full potential. As for the knockout loss, stuff like that happens all the time. I almost did a Cannonball Cintron out of the ring after taking a combination when I first started boxing lol But how you learn from it is what's important. I guarantee that if you ever try the Philly shell again, you won't leave your ribs open because of that experience lolComment

beginners train with beginners, pros getting ready for tournaments(championships) with other pros. for this case you have Trainer for beginners.. that tells them what to do etc, and main coach for professionals. i can't imagine myself or any1 else sparring with professional at their 1st day/month/year. may be in boxing.. . thai-box though, little bit different.

Well when you put it like that then I absolutely agree. I thought you were referring simply about skill level without factoring in experience. I do think however it's a good experience for beginners to spar with a much more experienced fighter who doesnt take advantage of the fact just so they can see the difference in conditioning and skill level and have a tangible goal to strive for.Comment

as long as its technical sparring, not survival)) 1 more example, in US sparring, basicly means fighting. back in soviet school we sparr 20% of power and 100% technick. this way i agree, beginners Shall sparr and learn something new for them. anyways, i just had a long flight to US yesterday and little bit tired. im out for tonight, have a good night manComment
