Just out of interest, how does it feel, when you work on a combination / counter with one of your boxers and the next sparring session they pull it off against you ???
I do the same and spar with the some of the lads I coach. It's a strange feeling - basically I'm learning someone how to hit me. I worked with one of our lads feinting the left jab and following with a left hook - He got me everytime !!! haha

maybe you can't really spar like you once could but look on the bright side, atleast you can still get in there and roll if you want to. 2 years ago I had a stroke that has my left side pretty messed up still. I was going to the gym and sparring with different pros before it happened and more than held my own against them. Now I can't even throw a jab or a hook which means it is completely over for me in the ring. Try dealing with that after 20+ years of being in and around it.
****, I had even passed my certification to begin refereeing the pros, I had been reffing the amatuers for awhile, it was like a duck in water. Now I can't move as I once had so reffing the pros is out. I talked with the guys in the game and they said just be a pro judge then. It's not the same at all, judging from reffing, but I guess atleast I'll still be in the game. You have your health and abilitie to move properly, you don't have it bad at all...........Rockin'

I train young fighters now at two different gyms here in South Florida. That keeps me going and I love going to the gym, just once in a while that old part of me keeps wanting to compete and I even thought about entering the Masters but 2 times, there was nobody in my same age and weight class so I didn't get to fight.
