HELP TIPS: 145 vs. 235

[VBoxer]

ok , heres the scenario:

I weigh in at 145lbs, 6'1". The guy I spar at my gym weighs 235lbs, 6'2". First of all I know I shouldn't be sparing with him, really its all I got. Anyways, I know I can beat him, but I don't know how to accomplish this. What are some suggestions??

If know you can you should know how to then. But thats a pretty big question considering we dont know how you fight and such. When i spar the heavies i usualy just go right at them make it an inside battle and score with quicker shots. and since im so close it smothers their power.

well for one you HAVE to be way faster than he is... use your footmovement... u gata think of the things that your better at and use them to your advantage... think of his weaknesses and use them against him

I would find a new sparring partner. You aren't going to gain much from him.

i sparred a 250 pounder..and im 145..go for the body alot the first round and by the 2nd his hands will be real real low..then you can have fun wit it.

Or get your head taken off when you drop your glove to go for that body shot Not all big guys are terribly slow.
