Originally posted by tysonMy weight is 152, and I used to sparr with a heavyweight, just because there wasn't anyone else around.
We went at it with full force, everytime, and I had to be careful with the headpunches so that I wouldn't knock him down.
The traniners even had me sparring with 22oz gloves for a year to keep me from knocking people out in training.
He had to pull his bodypunches, but not to the head.
I can as well inform that in 2003, in the junior european championship, me and the heavyweight from Norway punched on a punching-machine to test our power. (Heavyweight in amateur equals 81 kg- around 185 pounds) He managed 124 on the machine, I managed first 126, second 127 then 128, before he dragged me away from there because all the other fighters were watching :P I weighed 63kg then... By the way, he got a bronze medal, and I lost my freakin first fight to a wussy from turkey.
I guess power aint everything, eh?
There are always exceptions to the rule. Rubine "the huricane" Carter used to be sparring partners with Sonny Liston. Danny Green just battled James Toney is an awsome spar session on the internet.
But it sounds like you know what you are doing. This kind of **** is not for beginers. When you first start sparring you can get hurt or get hurt by someone your own size, because you don't know what your doing. Fighting someone that much bigger than you is just plain ******.
The guy who posted this thread agrees with me.

ive used the same machine wen i was 13 and 10months, i was 40kg. i got 90 on the machine, my bro was 19 at the time and 60kg and he got 129. and just to let u know, the machine tests speed, not power

to WHDempsey,
If your planning to go to kronk, youd better plan on throwing down. Kronk is not like most gyms in that their sparring can be viscious and if you are not prepared it could be a bad experience. Kronk is a great place to learn to fight and their trainers are experienced and well schooled. What I am saying here is that if your going down there to work just so that you can say that you have done that, it will not be a good experience for you. If your going down there to learn the skills and learn to fight then there is no better place to go as far as i'm concerned.
P.S Let us know when you are going down, I would like to be there. Hell, I'll work with you if you want. I wont try to take your head off like the others. It would probably be a better choice for you. Also, do you even know where the gym is or do you just know its in detroit.......Rockin'
