me sparring 2-1-07(VIDEO)

[PunchDrunk]

Need to jab more, you seem to go in a lot with hooks, smart boxers would jab the hell out of you and uppercut you whenever you try to go in with your hooks.

When the first guy was heading to the ropes he managed to hit you with a couple of right hooks to your head, you need to keep your left arm up to protect yourself.

When you had the first guy at the ropes, you were winding up a few of your hooks to the body, you could get countered with a big right.

You were head-hunting too much, the second guy kept his arms up so high you could have easily killed him to the body.

Looking at your arms, looks to me like you're lifting too much weights. I say lay off the weights, you should want arms like PBF, not Mike Tyson. Those big muscles only slow you down and kill your stamina.

Nothing wrong with Tyson's speed or stamina when he was young. I'd like to see how you propose to make versatile's physique look more like PBF's than Tyson's? I mean, how would you go about doing that, in REAL LIFE?

good advice but i dont lift weight thats how i come.ahaha,and its hard to see shots with my headgear on especially bodyshots alot of the times cause i dip low.and i thought i jabbed alot?I guess i'll try to do more of it. and keeping my hands up was one of the things i mentioned i needed to work on more.thanx

You need more skilled sparring partners. The first guy wasn't TOO bad, but the second guy? Honestly looked like he was in there for the first, maybe second time ever.

When you bob and weave, you sometimes lean to your right in a way where you get your weight on your right heel. At the same time, you drop your left a little. The guys you were in there with fail to capitalize properly from this, but if you're ever in there with someone a little more talented, a little less gunshy, you might end up paying for it, because the only place to go from there, is forward, right into a right hand.

You also become way too right handed when you get in close. You want to use your left in there if you want to hurt him to the body.

But seriously, get some sparring partners with a little experience, and a little talent (first guy wasn't as bad as the second guy, but that ain't saying much). Those guys in n that video are just there to stroke your ego...

like i was saying there is alot of stuff i need to improve on,I watch to much tyson and have picked up on some of his habits in his prime that wasnt all that good,he just didnt get caught with it so its better to hit to the body with the left hand instead of right? is that why i see alot of ppl doing it alot to the left?. the last time i sparred was 3weeks ago and time before that 3 months ago.I think in the year ive sparred 5 times literally so theres alot of things i wanna do and try so unfortunately I have to test them out when sparring which isnt always good.I'll go back and work on the things i said i will work on and the stuff u guys said and see if i can get better at it.thanx punchdrunk

Didn't read the earlier posts but... Good body shots, looks like you was digging em in there... I personally think you lead with your head down too much... But other than that, good work...

You look pretty intimidating for the second guy - I'm sure he didn't want to be there after you landed a few shots on him! You have a good style - like Tyson, but as others have said and you also, just jab more. Tyson fought guys bigger and slower than him in the heavyweight division but you'll be fighting guys who are quicker so some of Tyson's tactics might not work as well.

Good luck though - you have a good future ahead of you I think.

well yeah uhhhhhhhh me sparring.

you only sparred with the first one 1 round?!?!?!

it looks like you only put the where you look good and the second guy you sparred look like he is a beginer you should be easy on him and work on you defense and couters instead of bullying him around the ring.

i cant say much but you dont jab alot and wanna KO this guy as fast as possiable i think you will be in alot of toruble with a southpaw for sure because you hooks are compacted so in the result it would be hard for you to reach the person instead

nice mate, i like your head movement and right body rip

i had an opportunity to take out both of them but backed off,once i add speed to the mix(which i didnt really do) it will be different.and with working easy on him? actually i was but i cant work to easy cause golden gloves is in 2weeks,ppl in the ring wont take it super easy on me and if i take it super easy on my sparring partners i will get my ass kicked fast in golden gloves cause my stamina wont be up to par on how i fight in am.cause held back alot more then i usually do.

I thought I jabbed alot? I was only using it yesterday just to get and even without the jab i got in with no problem.now next time i spar thats all u will see is me jabbing,i need to work and try things out and its impossible to do it in 2min. rounds when the guys running. and actually the second guy had alot more experience then the first ahaha. and ive faced southpaws and have stretched my compact punches and still connected i myself switch to southpaw alot cause i have power in both hands and i like that stance better.

when you fought the 2nd guy you didnt jab e****ally when you though you where in control you started to throw some of the punchs wide abit and if you someone fight with you and abit smart he would let you go first and then he will couter you try to be concistent because some fighters are really tricky and they let you feel you are in control but then they switch to fighting mode and coutering most.

but try to used you straight right to set up you left hook and when doing the left hook set inside and move you body side so the other person cant hit you and wont be on you view
