A sparring session should look like this

OK soi was at the gym earlier and one of the trainers told me he needed me next week to spar this guy as he was coming over to Chi town to train for his upcoming fight. At first i was like a boxer from Yemen? Lol, this is EZ money, but then i checked Boxrec and **** this kid is a beast! The dude has 12 1st round KO's and is basically the Arab version of Valero, but without the padded record. All of his opponents where undefeated and this guy brutally disposed of them. He goes to the body like no one else and im quite worried about this considering im not in fighting shape right now and my mid section is a little soft. Here is his last fight:

I really need some advice guys. I wanna get paid cuz supposedly this guy pays that Arab money for sparring but i dont wanna get hurt or anything. Can anyone give me advice on how to defend properly against his body attack? Any fight footage you can reccommend that'll help me pick tips? The guy he fought in that vid is pretty slick and was Rated number 1 in somalia and he basically toyed with him then finished him off.

Now after having seen the video, I would be the time to practice your uppercut...







.....If it starts to get hairy in there throw it


....and take a dive, you don't deserve to get hit like that poor guy, that yemen kid is an animal.


best luck friend

Its just that i dont wanna get handled in sparring. I have a pretty good rep in my gym and have sparred a lot of good guys. Im worried that if i say to him dont go too hard they will just find someone else. My trainer said he will be going hard in sparring as he is in the final phase of camp.

Hit him with the counter right uppercut, roll those shots and counter.

From that video looks like he doesn't throw straight punches and also his rhythm seems to be 1-2-1-2 I wouldn't worry about the body too much and bait him to punch you upstairs which you will block 1-2 and counter with straight shots preferably a right. he boxes small so you should throw uppercuts hooks and straight rights i would even through lead straight rights.. also break his bull rushes with jabs to keep him at bay...keep pumping the jabs and if you have good foot work use it his is horrible....

Still ducking the whole wrong forum part. Could be so easy to just admit you did it on purpose.

[AztecWanker]

Thank guys. Im gonna work on the step back and uppercut and Straight right hands tommorow. My trainer said i shoukd take him into the later rounds cuz he has never been passed 1 round.
