  • How should I feel after sparring?

    I have been training for about a year, initially just for fitness but I wanted to set myself a challenge so I signed up to a white collar fight event.

    I have recently started sparring in preparation for the fight and I am really enjoying the training and sparring.

    I have only sparred twice so far but that evening or the next day I feel a little light headed/little foggy. Is this just mild concussion and will my head get conditioned the more I spar so I recover quicker?

    Did you take a lot of punches?

      If you took alot of punches yes, but that's a bad thing, i'd recommend doing light sparring till you get used to it (especially the defense part) then raise the intensity.

        I would stop sparring and forget about competing. 100% not normal.

          I'd guess that you've never boxed a day in your life...........Rockin'

            You didn't join a knitting club.

            It all comes down to how bad do you want it and what are you willing to give up to get it.

            Find a book called Beyond the Ring by Lyle Fitzsimmons (I believe that he wrote it).

            Besides a good look at the history of the sport, it is an in depth look in to boxing and the brain.

            Amateur boxing was great and I recommend it to any young male with true grit.

            The pro game is a meat grinder but was still great.

            Look in to that book doe, great stuff is in it.

            How bad do you want it?

            Keep us posted.................Rockin'

                I'm shocked nobody came in with VERY FEEL in response to "how should I feel."

                I think is there are headaches the next today, take a break from sparring and let a doctor take a look

                  Light headed and foggy after sparring is not normal: he's weak. I felt like a warrior after sparring.

                  If that's how you did it, you did it wrong which is why maybe why things turned out the way they did.

                    Everybody has to start somewhere.

                    Time will change that if he works hard.

                    Sheet, the first time that I sparred they only let me do two rounds, I wanted to keep throwing fists. This was my first night in a boxing gym, ever.

                    2 months later I fought in the JOs.

                    I asked Bronco Mccart about what it was like sparring with me as pros.

                    We had sparred one time when I was 18 or 19, it was a good throw. Bronco was just turning pro. Then we'd throw daily, when I turned pro up at Galaxy.

                    He said "The thing with you is you'd never stopped coming. I'd hit you and you're right back on me. I'd miss a shot and you're right back on me". I told him that I changed my style turning pro. I used to walk the ring controlling with the jab in the ams, but I wanted to please the fans and turned in to a ****er. Always moving forward with plenty of punches.

                    Things worked out like they did because of a piece of sheet girl and her lies.

                    I 'did it' with past and current champions, out of a world class stable.

                    Can you tell me how my debut was televised, and my next fights were at The Palace of Auburn Hills (also televised) if I was doing it wrong. I had two bouts there as an amateur too. I was co-main event on the 2nd am card held there.
                    I felt like a warrior while sparring, as well as after...............Rockin'
