Another bad sparring video....

It's one thing to bob and weave, another thing entirely to shy away from a punch. You need to stay in range and just accept that you're going to get clobbered every once in a while. Everyone gets hit, even the "untouchable" boxers. But in their first matches, you can bet they got hit. A lot.

Try sparring with your waist tied to another boxer with just enough rope so both of you are just at the end of glove range. Not hard sparring, mind you, just heavy enough to make you take your defense seriously. It forces you to stay in the danger zone and develop a more dynamic defense.

you know what...thats the best damn idea i've heard on here yet..lol..thanks..but u def right...i dodge way too much..i do realize that tho..so i'm def tryna work on it 4sure..i like the rope thing tho..ima do that..plus when i'm sparring with smaller guys..i done mind either stayen close..lol

tbh it wasnt that bad but it looks like your both going at it at like 20% effort you shud be landing hard punches in his face and working the body as if its a proper contest i dotn think i saw a single punch land, you do have potentioal so up ur game

Hey man i noticed everytime u try to dodge or move out the way you step directly back try to move side to side and fight unprodictively change up your rythm and steps when fighting...Also try to step in and smother punches youll find somtimes that will help you out and block a punch better then moving away, because you may find openings easier...once in awhile...And last thing if you practice coming toward the punches youll notice it starts to take away that glove shy reaction of throwing ur self back... And relax dont waste so much energy did u see how relaxed the thia fighter was id watch more boxing and study the technique more.
