Sparring sessions,how intense do they get in your gym?

[CiganoBoxer]

I am currently training at an mma gym so their sessions for boxing tend to get a little intense if somewhat crude lol
I boxed as an amateur all my teenage years but now at 37 just train to keep in trim but sometimes get accused of going at it a bit heavy at this gym ...but these mma guys that box with me are very open to shots and usually come at you wide an wild and if they caught you it would be just as heavy as my shots
Tonight i clipped a guy on his chin and dropped him...it was like the whole gym was staring at me...thought i was gonna get lynched and world war three was gonna kick off but we squashed it in the end
Silly question really but how hard do the sparring sessions get in your gym or gym you've used ?

sounds like a problem ur coach needs to address, did u explain that they are going pretty intense as welk its just that you have better technique? If not then your coach needs to address this at the gym during the sparing sessions, not that you're better but at what intensity should you guys go about sparring. Other than that it seems like they may have had their pride hurt, if that's the case, too bad for them

Down at Galaxy, Jackie Kallens gym, we used to have wars. If you couldn't handle the heat then you weren't in that kitchen long. James Toney, Bronco McCart, Tarrick Salmaci, Lonny Beasley, Warren Jackson, Leo Nolan.... we all threw hard down there. And then guys like Dennis Andries would be in there, Gary Stretch, Eusebio Pedroza for a short spell and so many other good fighters.....

Jackie made up a great stable of fighters and so many other great fighters would come in there. You never knew who might be coming down that hall way ready to war. That was a great gym and a great time. I would compare us evenly with Kronk on the intensity and hard sparring, easily. And that's saying somethin'............Rockin'

Cosigned, it usually starts off like at a steady pace, and then heats up halfway through the first, the better the fighters the less flurries u see and the more explosiveness and well placed punches, theridiculous flurry filled punches where it looks like a giant battle but usually two or three of the 10 punches land are usually amateurs sparring.

As long as the guys are relatively close in weight and experience, then usually very intense, no pulling of punches.

My coach noticed that our team was having trouble with bumrusher-type pressure fighters and just the general intensity of a bout.

So he forbade us to touch gloves in sparring and changed the focus. You tried to hurt each other in sparring, set each other up, work like you would in a fight. The coach is there and sometimes someone else in the ring to stop things or slow them down. Once a guy got rocked the coach would tell you to cut him off, circle, use your jab, hit the body, etc.

But yeah, generally the harder the sparring the better.

It depends who is sparring. Obviously, if we're working with someone, we tone it down.
With the experienced guys it's a game, not so much a fight. Don't get me wrong, we throw hard punches, but if someone stumbles or is stunned, we'll back off a little bit until they're ready to really fight back again.
