Fight with no Sparring?

[KostyaTszyu44]

you need to spar

u surely would be able 2 get some, even if its with a **** guy or light stuff or watever

you just need the ring time and if u havnt sparred for ages you lose the reflexes and reaction time you need to find openings etc

good luck anyway

Ricardo Mayorga used to Go to Fights without Sparring I think he did that for his fight vernon forrest or spinks.

He also used to drink and smoke before a fight. That doesn't exactly make it a good idea....

Shoiws how much natural talent ricardo got, still need some discipline.

Well ok I'm going to try to get some somewhere... since I have no coach the other fighters are kinda just sayin whateva to me...

I'm not a likeable boxer i guess...I sparred them a few months ago and injured one..that may be a reason also.

focus on what needs to be done. just make sure the next time when you spar the one who runs his mouth the most, that you put extra effort into putting some hurt on him, pull his head into your uppercuts.

my suggestion, is after your pre fight pasta/macaroni or whatever, (if u dont eat noodles before a bout u should) eat a few tablespoons of honey a few hours before the fight and sip gatorade until it's 10 minutes away.

why dont you have a coach. you cant go into a fight without sparring. if you cant organise sparring you should get a coach who can organise sparring for you. how do you do pads without a coach. how often do you see boxers who are self trained ever get anywhere? not very often. my advise is get to gym, get a coach, get some sparring then think about fighting. you need a coach to correct bad habits you develop as you go along. dont take me the wrong way but i think its crazy being a boxer without a coach.

Well I've just lost my coaches (they weren't certified) and I've fought this way before without sparring..

I was just getting weary of it and wanted to see what some people thought... I do go to the gym... and my brother is amazing on the pads.. I've showed him everything...

He really just makes up a new 6-10 punch combination like everyday and we constantly do that.. then reflex counters... then medicing ball to the stomach as i dance...then back to pads and double end bag switching.

This is after intense double end bag for 8-10... 400 pound tire and sledge hammer... speed bag 6 rounds.. heavy bag 4 rounds... body bag 4 rounds... and all the other regular stuff...

EXCEPT jumping rope...
