Got a boxing tournament next week, should have at least 3 fights for the novice championships at bantam weight.

Any pointers?

So what if I'm a midget? I got no problem with the ladys, however with your hairdo and face, i'd be suprised if you'd be able to convince a mentally disabled woman never mind a woman who looks half decent.

Did 6 rounds of sparring today, was huffing and puffing in the middle of round 4. Everyone told me they was suprised how much stamina and energy I had, and the fact I was always come forward but the bad thing was, I rarely stood back and sometimes stepped in with my jab. People told me I had lots of energy, but I felt different, didn't even feel 1/2 as fit as I should be. :/ I find slick boxers a lot easier but I really struggled with pressure boxers last week sparring, I got told to use my natural instinct when fighting more, and it worked I guess... Was throwing more punches, landing more, particuly on the face.

On another note, I sparred a guy who was thought to be for "definte" a chance of winning the novice championships at welter weight. He was very slick, and people said he loves to trick people with his footwork and keep people at bay with his jab, but it seemed my style was very good for him. This other guy, was more expeirenced, had 20+ fights amateur wise but hadn't boxed for 4 years, he was able to keep me at bay with his jab, but I was often able to get in with decent head movement and blocking his punches. Last week, sparred two pressure fighters and I gotta say.... I struggled big time. One guy gassed very early on, like during the first round, but constantly was throwing punches while moving away from me, I know now that head movement is the key for these guys... Other pressure fighter just had solid defence, I couldn't break it and he kinda dominated me, him moving forward towards me.

I blab a lot, but I learnt a lot sparring, which was very useful.
