    blood

    have any of you experienced a lot of it in a fight? and how did you react?
    I was sparring today and and just starting out I hit him with a jab and his nose started bleeding. it was fine at first but by the third it was really pouring out I ended up with my shirt covered in his blood. when it started to get bad I stopped hitting him in the face and just went for the body.

    I know it was a sparring partner and I know the guy but I was kind of disappointed in myself that my first instinct upon seeing blood wasn't to finish him, it was to protect him . it's not good to be nice in this sport and I wonder how i would react to a lot of blood when it counts..

    just wondering what you guys experience is.

        If you bleed much in a fight they will stop it.

          yeah i fought an exhibition bout and it was reasonably even but he landed a good one and that my nose bleeding, and we couldnt get it to stop so we had to call it quits, that pissed me off, he was bigger and older, but i was doing quite well until my nose bled

          so yeah gotta be careful cos if theres lots of blood they will stop it

            I'm not supposed to be posting but A) the guy cheated in the poll and B) and i've tried real hard not to on some of these threads because they're utter bull****, but I feel this one can quickly be conquered by idiots but, thank god, so far the replies have been spot on.

            I got in the ring once and the guy scared the **** out of me, I was new and this guy was far bigger than me and just looked scary. I just worked him gently with my left jab, by about 30 seconds in his nose was bleeding, I moved back and asked him if he was ok...He said yes. After about a minute his nose was really bleeding, after about 1 minute 30 my t-shirt, my gloves, the canvas and his face were covered in blood and his left eye was closing. I wasn't hitting hard and i'm not a big guy, my jabs were just getting through. By the end of the round I had spoke to him twice to check he was ok and a third told him to look at the coach. The coaches know what they're doing and he just wiped him down and said go on. It was just a nose bleed, but I admit, I kind of felt abit bad, but I was also proud, not proud that i'd done it, but proud that I could. I felt bad because he was a fellow gym member and you don't want to do that to them, but I felt proud because I was able to work the jab through, all be it not a perfect straight jab at the time.

            End of the day, as said before, sparring is for technique. You're supposed to check each other are ok. You're certainly not supposed to finish them. You don't finish partners, that's what they are. A spar is not a fight, it's not a competition, it's two partners in the ring. Sparring is about putting just enough power into the shot so they can learn and not just walk through them but not so much that you can hurt them. All in all, when the nose gets hit it bleeds, 99.9% of the time it's trivial which is why coaches don't care. So, don't feel worried that you reacted that way, most do simply because you're in there like class mates, not fighters.

              sorta understand you about not finishing your sparring partners....if im sparring with my usual partners at the gym i would never finish them, but if its a guy from another gym, who i know, maybe having fought him before or who has come into our gym or has tried to intimidate me, **** him ill finish him

                While what you guys are saying is true - that sparring is not a real fight - I wouldn't want my sparring partner to stop and ask if I was OK if my nose starts bleeding. Granted, I have a history of having a ****ed up nose and would likely warn my sparring partner that it bleeds a lot, but unless our trainer outright stops our sparring session himself, I want to continue sparring.

                I've had sessions where my whole shirt was almost entirely red, drops of blood on the ring, all from a bloody nose. It wasn't a hard hit - my nose simply bleeds a lot when hit (I need to get it cauterized soon).

                I have respect for my sparring partner when we step into the ring, and I feel that something like my nose starting to bleed shouldn't stop him from working on his skills. Maybe he shouldn't jump on me and start putting harder shots on my nose, but I surely wouldn't want him to tone down the intensity for me.

                Again, I would warn my sparring partner about my nose bleeds so that he knows to continue fighting if it does in fact start to bleed.

                chayal, I think you did the right thing though because you weren't sure if he was really hurt, or simply has a history of nose bleeds like you. Next time just check up with your sparring partner to see.

                  the killer instince is def a necessity in this sport
                  but self control is more
                  its not always good to jump on site of blood
                  u dont wanna run into somethin
                  plus like ya said
                  ya were well aware that it was sparrin
                  and now u dont go all out against a sparrin partner
