You've gotta get over the not-dominating in sparring bit - jesus. There is always gonna be someone whose better than you. What if your trainer brings Wlad down your gym and mops you up for 2 hours - you can't hate yourself.

Sparring is practice and an area to learn. Every night in sparring, i try new things and perfect my moves in a controlled area. I sometimes get my arse beaten, but its cos i'm not being competative. The way i spar and the way i fight are completely different - you should be more like that. Apparently loads of Ali's sparring partners have stories of dominating in sparring - yet how many men who've fight him have stories like that? You see what i'm saying. Spar to learn and fight to win.

You ain't ever gonna learn anything, if you spar people who you are better than all the time. If you want to go to that next stage, you gotta spar a better class of fighter. My main sparring partner is a 17 year old whose about to make the national team. You think he beats the **** outta me? Hell yes.

You think i've boxed better since sparring with someone like this? Definitely.

Don't let it get you down. Just go back and try again and don't try knocking his head off next week cos' he got you last time. It ain't his fault.

Everything is true that you said...

Thing is that I'm just Supremely competitive..

I won't try to knock his head off.. i can control myself... But I do want to do better than him.. and I love improving quickly.. and if i don't i must find a way to do so.

So I will go back to having my goal Juan Diaz stamina because i know it starts there...then I will try to learn a few other styles so i can switch.

Just keep going at the pace you're doing. Make sure you learn something new every day and remember that Rome wasn't built in a day. You won't learn anything from beating people up all the time.

When I spar, i throw counter punches all the time mainly. Work on my moves. Any one can punch.

Practice your defence and perfect your techniques.

I know how you feel. I'm not even remotely as good of a boxer as you, but we have some killers in our gym. And there's one dude who's been boxing for 30 years, probably 50 years old with salt-and-pepper stubbly hair, who comes in every so often and just whips everyone's ass. I posted about him, before.

What our coach said about fighting a more experienced boxer is, "That's why you have a cornerman."

Right?

Da1,

you should always talk like that son.

Having quiet confidence and working on your skills is better then being below average (which is the level you are at now most likely) and being a ****y prick, ya dig?

Anyway, keep sparring guys better then you. THat's the only way you get better and learn. Can't learn without trying.

Right?

how can a 50 year old whoop everyone's ass? Must be a small ass ring that doesent require that much foot movement or hes just a freak of nature cause even i can handle very experienced ppl who are that age. maybe i just havn't sparred one of the ones that are still sharp

Keep fighting guys better and soon you will be the guy that quietly dismantles and confuses the "other" guy.
