    Hard sparring

    Hey there,

    Recently I have been doing hard sparring which I don't have heaps of experience in. I've done sparring for years but it's normally pretty monitored, controlled and light and I can do up to 10 rounds in a go and tend to do it quite often - like four times a week.

    But switching to hard sparring recently for first time I am able to do about four rounds or so then I am done.

    I guess what I wanted to ask was around how often would you do hard sparring? I got a knock today so definitely feel I need a couple days off.

    You know what they say, a lot of fighters take more punishment in the gym than they do in the ring. Most sparring for fights is not done that hard by pros, but your body just needs some adjusting time to taking much harder punches.

      Hard sparring produces hardened fighters. Ever hear about the wars down at Kronk? .............Rockin'

        I totally agree! Definitely been a reality check! Gassing easier and had to stop a round yesterday due to big blow. Made me more committed to conditioning for sure particularly sprints

              Why are you working 5 minute rounds? Are you a pro fighting in 3 minute rounds?

                    Sounds normal to me. But how hard are you guys going? Not worth getting some cracked ribs over. IMO.
