i do most of my sparring with my brother. actually its more like im his heavy bag.

what is the age difference between you two?

for example i dont spar with my brother because 1 i am older than him by 7 years and two he is not intersted in boxing.


sparring with lesser opponent even like in soccer or other sport playing with younger and smaller guy you tend to be more confiedent and when you spar with other guy you are more confedient on slipping the shot. it better to train on coutering with you brother more than beating the **** out of him or if you are slipping and trying new stuff before the real sparing like try to see if the peek-a-poo style or try infightering and see how you going to do it if you never fought an infight before

sometimes if i can't make it to the gym i'll get my girlfriend to put gloves on and i'll *spar* her (without hitting back...basically i just let her beat on me for 10 minutes or so until she's tired) so i can work a little on defense. Obviously its not as useful as sparring, but stuff like that is still better than nothing in my opinion.
