  • Alright I need some tips. I'm going to be sparring a friend in a rematch.

    I weigh about 150 something and he's around 180. I lost to him the first time several years ago and its always bugged me ( cause I thought I could do better ). He basically walked me down kind of like Margarito style but basically throws his right hand over and over. He is conventional and so am I so what would be the best way to counter a right hook and a straight right?

    any help would be great

    I believe I am faster than him but his reach is a lot longer

    Throw the straight right hand and see what he does when you do it. If he tries to counter with a right hook, right after you throw the straight right hand duck under his right and step to the left hit'em with a left hook to the body.

    But man just do what you practice training in the gym. Do you. Do you know his tendency's from sparring him the first time ?

      why not load your gloves?? i mean not with plaster but there are other things you can load your gloves with that are not as dangerous/hard as plaster taht would definitely give you an advantage. i have done it before lol in a sparring to prove myself it worked and i got respect but i never went back to the gym because i was worried they'd catch me lol!

          yeah he loads up with his right and drops his left hand when he throws it. I can try to time it but his right hand can certainly drop me if I do not avoid it.
