VIDEO: Sparring.

[TheTruthIs]

What makes this so absolutely hilarious to me is that half of you don't even realize that this is not "real" sparring.

If you guys could stop tripping over your egos and actually watch the video, you might learn something.

Honestly, I don't expect anything less from a bunch of 16 year-olds, I am sure you guys know absolutely everything there is to know about boxing.

The only reason you are catching so much flack, is because you posted this and dispute anything and everything people say in critique. You most likely have a record of telling people how much more you know then them too and so on...I admit I am just guessing on the second part.

The thing is about a video, it's only real value is to find fault, so you therefore can correct said fault. It is blatantly obvious this was not what you wanted. For you started dismissing criticism immediately and made excuses for the faults that were found.

I think if you were more humble as a person, and more humble as a poster, no matter what you posted, you would likely have gotten some positive feedback. I've seen far worse then yours, it isn't the worst or anything, but the reaction from the posters is unparalleled to anything I have ever seen.

Don't you even ask yourself why that is?

I'm not going to harp on your technique, but yea, it needs work. I will suggest you need an attitude adjustment though. In any case, good luck with whatever you do.

Listen im not sticking up for the guy, But your not even giving decent critisism, Your just acting like complete twats giving random abuse, What have you posted thats better? ... Oh wait ...

At least he takes boxing seriously ...

P.S .. Shawn i still think your a ****

I'm opposing his "reasons" for doing certain things in training that will "help" out his team mates.

and I didn't know that making a rhetorical statement towards his comment saying that keeping your hands up is a waste of energy was not some sort of criticism.

and my biggest problem is if you can't take criticism then don't ask for it, and hes an example of it because he disputes every critique a person makes on this board .....

You have misquoted me, and put words into my mouth.

I said, "Keeping your hands up is a waste of energy, if you already know when your opponent is going to punch, and what punch they are going to throw."

Please note the part in bold.

I would also love for you to point out where I asked for criticism... I didn't.

If you want to criticize the footage instead of using it as a learning aid, go for it. However, your time would be better spent elsewhere.

youre a joke, how can you posibbly know everytime sumone is going tot hrow a punch?

you may be able to do that at your gym? with that guy you just sparred, or your low intsesity slow boxing then mabey you can do that.


but if you came to sumone elses gym and sed you know when they are going to throw a punch, you would be laughed at, you can geuss sumtimes but not evertime agsinst all people,

i think youve goten to used to your own gym, and are basing your boxing skills around the people at your gym and not not world wide

And that my friend is why you need to stop hating on me and start learning what I have to teach.

Reading your opponent is a skill. As you have just made clear, it is a skill that you are either unaware of, or have no idea how to perform. Its no more guess work than reading a book.

[SIZE="4"]omg stfu,

you act like your some guru of boxing or somthng, and you cant even spar proerly .

of course their is guess work involved you dont just know when they will throw a punch your not a phycic are you?

are you telling that floyd mayweather or another pro wouldnt be able to hit you? you could try and geuss when they are going to throw a punch but thats it. if you came to a diffrent gym you would be geussing because their not as slow paced as yours.


and pelase stfu i would never want to learn from you,
