    ive been dropped 4 times in sparring.. or 3 really cuz once i was in with a southpaw who stepped on my foot as he threw the left n i slipped, i wasnt the least bit hurt, i had only been boxing like 3 weeks too.

    the second time i had been out of the ring for a few months, first day back the gym is pretty much empty. this super HW asks me to spar, i never turn down anyone to spar so i get in there. at the end of the 2nd im crazy tired and stand by the ropes a few seconds.. liver shot.. canvas..

    few weeks later similar thing with another guy, same size.. this 42 year old guy who was a top world class amateur back in his day. hes been willing to spar me alot to help me out.. dropped me twice. once was a left hook to the head were i was legitimately hurt. my legs were strong but i was a bit dazed plus i was already bleeding all over the place both form the nose and the mouth. that guy is a beats, that day alone he bloodied 3 guys. and he knocked like 3 guys out (with bodyshots) in the month or so he was here.

    but to be fair i sparred a lot of rounds with him and it only happened those 2 times. anyways **** like that happens, everyone makes mistakes. if the ppl u are sparring dont make u pay then they are setting u up to get KTFO once u compete. ofcourse u never mean to hurt someone in sparring but sometimes it happens. **** happens u know.

      I was knocked down 4 times by 2 different guys with body shoots when I first started sparring. They were all more experienced then me and took advatage of me. About two years into my amateur carreer though, those same guys came to sparr me again. The result: I broke one of those guys ribs and the other guy just took a serious beating.

      You'll be okay. It's all a part of the sport.

        it can be embarassing, depending on your gym but it happens, keep at it!
