    First Proper Sparring Session

    Had my first proper sparring session tonight. I was up against a 200lb heavy handed fella whose about 5'9 or 5'10. I'm 6'3" and weigh 238 pounds. I loved every second of it. We basically did 2 rounds. I didn't throw any straight rights for the 2 rounds, I just worked my jab and used my reach to my advantage and kept him off at a distance. Got caught with a couple of good firm jabs but I took them well and had a big grin on my face. My sparring partner said I've got good accuracy and a very heavy jab that stunned him when it connected.

    Can't wait for my next session!

          I've only been attending the gym twice a week for the last 2 months. The first 2 months I was attending here and there. Plus they're very strict about having your medical done first before you spar.

                  I wouldn't say that. Especially for someone who's very new to the sport, I probably wouldn't put them into the ring for a full on spar maybe for 3-4 months.

                  Anyways, good job man, hope you enjoyed it.
