DA1CATAS Sparring VIDEO

[PunchDrunk]

I'd say he's somewhat lighter than 260 as well... 200-220 range.

With that said, you actually looked decent. I'd like to see you box more at a distance though, because the stuff you guys were doing in there might be fun, but it wouldn't hold up in a real fight (amateur, at least). Especially against a guy your own size, who'd have a lot more speed and movement than that guy.
You're good and have potential, but there's a lot of work needed. How many am fights do you have, I forgot?

Edit: You should have practiced moving from his power, instead of smothering it. Against a powerful fighter with a real workrate (that dude wasn't doing much), going close is the last thing you want to do.
Remember that sparring is practice, therefore practice what you'll need to do in a fight.

I am not going to critique you skills or anything, but I will say that that guy is NOT 260. I am 250 and I am twice his size, there is no way he ways 10 pounds more than me! He looks more like 190, no where near 260 dog.

If you'd see the size difference between us too standing next to each other in person you'd be able to tell...

I'm sorry man but I'm just guessin you can't tell by watchin the Vid or sumthin... That ***** is exactly what he he said he was.

Thats what I was goin by and thats also how I felt he was hittin... I'm sorry but no 190 pound n!gga would be able to keep me against the ropes with 1 arm..... Theres 180's and 200's that come to the gym and its like sparring someone my size but he definately wasn't one of them.. maybe his gut or sumthin.


Thanx alot for watchin. maybe he jacked himself up on the weight but not by much he didn't. I'll Asked him to jump on the scale officially today. and edit ...Thanx again.

Thanx Punch.. Thats what I was figuring you'd say...

I was dead tired coming in though..Cuz we already did my workout before tis guy walked in.
Should I have stayed outside as tired as I was?
I thought It'd be easier for him to land a straight punch if I was outside and because Of my lack of headmovement because of fatigue... So I tried to rough it out on the inside. Was that a big mistake?

Also no one else came to gym to spar so he was all I had... The 3 time Florida State champ a few weigth classes lighter should be in soon.

A bunch smokers/toughman but none against boxing competition.... hurt ribs and no trainer has stopped my florida debut since those things are illegal my new trainer said.

Anything else you see Glaring? You can pm it if you have so much. Thanx Alot!

more hip rotation on them punches and twist the back leg to generate power some of the punches looked abit slappy

the second round was better than the first, you dominated him

[SpeedKillz]

i think u looked good man. i could tell u were tired though sparrin. how many rounds did u go? u got good technique i think and it looks like if u were fresh u would dominate him even more than u did. clearly visible in a real fight u would killed this guy. good stuff. post the other rounds when u get a chance. always good to see guys my own weight sparrin, so i know wut im up against....lol. how many days a week do u workout? i know u run alot, but how many times a week do u like spar, heavy bag, etc. again, lookin good man, post some more sparrin when ur fresh...

Well I can say happily I'm finally in the 160's... but I might even be getting lower than that... lol and I feel the same way about seein guys my size spar.

Well since i'm fighting on June2nd My trainer has me sparring atleast 3 times a week... Usually I'd only spar about twice the week. heavybag everyday even saturday. And I workout out everyday except sunday. but my gym is doing bad so We don't have alot of sparring partners anymore.. we have to leave to other gyms to spar sometimes.

Thanx for the input man I'll put some fresh sparrin when I get some.

Thanx for Watchin the Vid man... Yea I could see i looked sloppy I was trying not too so hard but I was dead.. I understand totally what you mean. Thanx again.

You look good. just keep ya guard up a litle. Also your jab straight punch looks good and it looks clean and crisp when you throw it. by the way how old are you? overal though you look good keep up the hard work

[1bad65]

You looked good. You do gotta move your head more and use more lateral movement. But you looked good and props for putting it up and asking for opinions.

[Trick]

Well done man,
First of all props on posting the vid. I, like most others ,thought you did better in the 2nd round. I think you did a decent job of 'suffocating' the guy's power, but like PunchDrunk was sayin' that can be a pretty dangerous tactic, and the bigger guy can turn it on you in a hurry. I can't remember which thread it was, but some guy was knockin' your handspeed, but I think it's good, especially for 16oz gloves. Ye, I guess you seemed a little gassed, but anyone who claims they can go full speed after 2 hours of training is bull****ing, or they're slacking ass in their training. I suppose I'd work more on your outside game, that's where the points are in the amateurs. But overall, I'd say you got game, haha.

Btw, is it just me, or did he elbow you 30s into the 2nd round?
