    good advice? here's some- if someone is more experienced than you, get mobile when that 30 second buzzer sounds. i seen alot of guys get their asses kicked in exchanges when that 30 second buzzer rings because they mix it up with guys with loads more experience.

      Were i train you usualy only get hit back as hard as your hitting so if you hit hard you better be ready to be hit hard back.

        Recently i've been getting a bit sick of newbies taking advantage of me going nice and light then crying like babies when i turn it up a notch (in response with them trying to hit me with everything they got)

        In summary, i really HATE sparring newbies. I do feel obliged to do so because i was a newbie once and i know the feeling but i had respect for the more experienced guys i was sparring.

          haha, yea i went light on this new guy once, and whilst i was messing around doing my **** Ali-shuffle he hit me with a crappy jab. Problem is, he brought it up every 5 minutes after that, as if he'd destroyed me. I made a note and decided to explode on him next time we sparred and set the books straight.
