Awesome. I remember the first time I sparred - I got beat up pretty bad and he was takin' it easy on me. Just remember, when you fight, fight with an ego but dont let in club-boxing politics get in the way of you learning how to learn the proper technique.Comment

I sparred 4 rounds total. The first round was against this mexican kid, probably 5-9(Im 5-7). Needless to say, All i remember is hitting him with a good body shot and then the rounds over, but i Know that I got demolished because they put another guy in there. The next guy was pretty weak but I was so drained that I couldnt put up much defense(plus Ive been at this gym for a month and a half and really have not been trained at all) so while I DID outpoint him, he landed a shot that almost blacked me out. I learned several things from this:
Im not in shape.
My trainers dont train.
Sparring at my gym is just fighting with 16oz gloves and headgear.
I dont have a particularly good chin.
I really want to go to law school, and if my chin isnt good Im assuming my brain will take a ton of punishment. Should I quit now and save my brain or just keep running with it and turn out ok?Comment

Let me tell you. I have a great chin, never been off my feet before. But my first sparring session, which went two rounds, I almost didn't make it out of the first round. I literally took one swing, and was out of breath. I went to the ropes at the end of the first and got caught with some Castillo-Corrales KO **** and then the buzzer went off. If you are thinking about not fighting after your first sparring session cuz you got roughed up, maybe you aren't the type to be boxing anyways. Good luck with school.Comment
