    What style do you emulate while sparring?

    I've started going to the boxing gym for the past 2 weeks & been a hardcore boxing fan for 2 years now......I've recently started sparring..I'm barley starting to get my Grove aka a boxing style .....I started with the peek a boo style but it didn't like it for me...I got hit to much which I don't like....since then I've started fight defensively ...my trainer says I fight scared now lol....I want to emulate my favorite boxer Guillermo Rigondeaux but with more sneaky left hooks to the body.....thoughts ....any suggestions. ....any experiences.... how to stay relaxed while sparring. ...my trainer says I looked to stiff from my back ????any tips.....FYI my trainer(some dude that works at the gym) is not that good so I'm kinda self teaching my self....

    When you fight period you have to relax,when you tense up you cant move and or see certain shots coming.,..You take shots better relaxed and get them off better as well.Just know in boxing YOU ARE GOING TO GET HIT NO WAY AROUND IT. THE TRICK IS TO TRY TO TAKE THE "STANK" OFF OF THE SHOTS AND AVOID THE HUGE SHOTS.It takes time to see what will work for you,everyday the goal is simply to get better and more comfortable. No one enters the gym as a world class fighter,it takes mistakes and failure to become even a solid fighter.

        at 2 weeks you should just do whatever your trainer says like he's God even if he's an idiot

        he's probably seeing really obvious mistakes that might feel good to you but look hilarious on tape

            Since I've always had the biggest admiration for defense I first tried to be defensive, I'd get frustrated when I got hit but now I've been studying Joe Loius and more of Duran and it's gotten noticeably better for me. In the clinches been trying to get more experience in how to find leverage with my shots as well, similar to Mayweather with that short right uppercut, as you can see it's a mixture.

                    I'm right handed but out of all the difference stances and such, left handed stance shoulder roll just feels the most natural.
