New problem in sparring.

[bbos]

your dropping cruiserweights at 140lbs? Well anyway, practice your footwork and youll find it. It just takes time, Im not sure how long youve been boxing but it all takes time and you will take some lumps trying to learn these things. Take the lumps and tell 'em youll see them tomorrow for some more.........Rockin'

if 155 is crusier weight or is that middle weight? but yea, got to take some punches to get inside.

So recently I been sparring a cruiser weight 155lb, every time I get in on him, he just pushes my head side ways which causes me to loose balance, and I can't put any power behind my punches. any way to counter this?

Do you mean, he stiff arms you and kinda smacks you upside the head?

I'm having difficulty picturing what you're describing. But, pushing is really not legal in boxing anyway. Maybe you need to tell him to stop doin' it. I've had sparring partners who like to rabbit punch, if they continue to rabbit punch, I either retaliate with my own rabbit punches, hit 'em below the belt or start throwin' elbows, after that, they seem to get the message!

I'm not one to create badblood in the gym, but if a f**ker is being dirty, or doing something really annoying, they might not be able to have kids by the time I've targeted their b*lls, true story!

Now, going back to the topic. If your opponent is simply giving you a "football like stiff arm" rather than slippin' or going under it. I usually like to shoot an uppercut to their elbow while its at full extension, it works like a charm. Give me a stiff arm, I'll give you a broken arm!

its not a stiff arm, what he did was use his hand tp steer/physically move my head to the side or another angle, usually the head follows the body so when he does this I am no longer squared up with him, and while I readjust, he just circles away to the out side again.

uppercut to the elbow sounds good, Im going to give that a try.

Get inside, throw a combination, then step forward and give him a shoe shine. If you stand in the pocket he might push you aside. Klitschko often does it. You have to stay busy to give him something to think about.

lol dude 155 falls into the middleweight category in the amateurs

and theres no cruiserweight in the amateurs, 201 is the heavyweight limit, and above that is super heavyweight

You're pretty big for 140.

problem solved guise, I sparred that kid again today, he is 5'10 155lbs 72 inch reach,

So i bobed and weaved under, when he extanded his jabs to keep me a t bay, I uppercuted his left arm, I then just went straight in throwing a strafing and flurries and closed the distance then delievered a quick right straight then left hook to his head and dropped the mofo.
