your first time sparring expiernce

[j]

my first was a hardone with my trainor-partner who is also a pro-fighter i was gasping for air at the end of round 3, i could not hit him he was fast, but now i think begining to get at him in his level.

and just when u think u are at his level, he pulls something out that u dont know haha.

i know that feeling.

I kept getting countered damn near every combination I threw (I was dropping my right) the first time I sparred. Sometimes I didnt even get my second punch off I just got punched in the face lol. Good times, good times.

Why the hell did you get a hardon on your first training session? you a fairy? In my day we would knock you out, you wouldnt get no hardon. Stop looking at fairy girly music videos and toughen up!

Huum..I did ok the first time, sparred with 6 guys got dominated by 3. I had no problem avoiding punches but i had one with landing, only landed a few jabs and 1 body shot

Well, the first time I ever sparred I could not do any of the stuff I've been learning before and I got gassed in like 2 minutes.

I sparred with my friend my first time, he fights at heavyweight and I fight at lightweight

before we sparred he told me he wasn't going to go easy on me at all and if I didn't quit I wouldn't be scared of anything. And when we sparred he didn't hold back on any punches, I think I got knocked down like 7 times in only 3 rounds but I got back up every time.

well I remember watching Ali vs Holmes on TV as a kid and I pestered my dad coz I wanted to box. Eventually in 1984 when I was 12 he told me I could but I had to find the gym, so i made some phone calls and found a gym, I went with my dad and spoke to the coach who believe it or not put me in the ring on my first day with the state junior 44.5 kg champ, I was about 42kgs. It was only body punching and I got winded pretty soon from a solar plexus shot.

But I kept going back after that, had a couple of times when I went back home teary because an older kid used to head punch when it was only body punching, but I got my own back eventually with a king hit (on the 4th swing after three wild misses). I think the coach wanted to test me to see if I really wanted to box or not. He said my footwork was pretty good I remember, lol.

i thought i was pretty good and i was going to spar someone i watched spar for a round and he was shorter then me but he spars with the other 2 friends that were there who are an inch or so taller then me and out weigh me by like 40 lbs. im 5'7-8 btw. i didnt wanna act ****y but deep inside i was hah because he was smaller. but i got a good eye opener that day hah. my natural instincts were getting the best of me. i couldnt keep my eyes forward when getting punched because i wasnt used to it yet and i froze up. they said i landed a straight on him on his nose but i didnt notice because the only reason i threw the straight was because our other 2 friends were yelling at me to throw the straight as a counter if he comes in the way he did. well at the end of the second round i was completely gassed from moving around and from getting hit a lot so the last 10 seconds i was through 1 2s and i gess i started to chicken wing and i didnt notice because i was way too gassed and i got cought with a clean body shot to my ribs and i went down. a couple weeks before i had just gotten into a head on collision 45mph against a stationary car and i walked away with minor whip lash for 2-3 days. i had whip lash 10x worse after this sparring session and it lasted for a week hah. good times.

[J.Dempsey]

I was so fatigued after the first minute I could barely throw a punch, just the adrenaline from gettin in the ring, fighting and ppl watching me, and nerves drained all my energy.
I then got hit **** loads, cudn't see em, n realised wat it was like to lose heart! I gave up after 2 mins!

That was first time, now im a lil more relaxed n startin to throw combos, still proper amateur tho! ;P

i got a question who should i sparr.. fellow begginers? or pro/amatuers? i only like sparred with a fellow begginer twice.. then all my sparr has been my trainer and other pros in the gym and my trainer is also a pro-boxer training same time in the gym.

I wanted sparr with a begginer because with my trainor and other pro it is always hard i can't dominate it frustrates me u know.
I arrive most them some begginers just do mits bag and weights and go home i never seen them sparr the other ones that sparr always were begginer kick boxers and MMA'ers but in boxing no one.
