    So I spar this GUY after My routine yesterday.

    He outboxed me..

    I could even tell he was holding a lil back because he just walked in and I was already about to do my countdown and leave...

    Trainer asked if i wanted to go.... so I did.

    He was just so comfortable.. not scary at all and didnt waste any punches.. lil sturdy white boy... he said he was like 200.. but i dont think he was a pound over 185. and im currently 173... so that fight could be made in the Ams. he's shorter than me..27 years old...and his father owns a gym in Tampa...said he'd been doing it since a child.

    Arms didnt look too much bigger than mine so if he wasn't lying the weight must be in his legs.

    We went 2 rounds. which the last 20 secs of the 2nd i did alot of clinching.
    He said i caught him good with a hook and pivoted out but i dont even remember it.

    They said i was overly defensive too.

    The experience level i feel was too great for me..but i can do it ebcause his pop wasn't ridiculous.

    This VERY MUCH agitates my soul to no ending point. I'm going to go back to my old training and just go all out constantly instead of this watered down follow the gym routine thing.


    Question was.. EXPERIENCE..anyone know something that works against it.. since we can't control time. God given Skill can't be the only way... because obviously I don't have that catergory at the moment to beat him.
    I'll take any suggestions on improving..


    Thanks for the serious comments that follow.

    That's just it. Experience. Getting in there and being use to different fighters/styles. I could sit here and tell you in detail how to fight a person but unless you experience it yourself and are use to doing certian things, I minas well talk to the wall.

      Like you said its experiance unless you're freakishly gifted you're never gonna make up too much ground on someone with alot more experiance, just spar with as many people as possible, you'll lern to apadt more quickly, from the vids I've seen of you you've obviously got talent its just learning to apply that talent.

        These are the types of sessions that you're gonna need Cat. No point boxing people who don't give you a good test. Don't get downbeat on it, just look at improving yourself to that level and beyond. Now, I don't suppose you've got that session recorded?

          Exactly, experience is the ultimate equalizer. I spar a guy in my club who is about eight inches shorter than me and gives up about 50 lbs to me as well. He's recently turned pro, though, and has been boxing for 10+ years. Needless to say, I get worked almost every time. But, these are the kinds of guys we need to spar with to better ourselves. I learn so much more from defeat than I do from victory.

                Going into sparring and sparring against people of lower quality then you really gets you no where. You don't learn much from that. However going in the ring against someone with alot more experience and works with you, but pretty much schools you, you will pick up alot and work on your mistakes. Guarentee if you continue to spar with people like him, or him, your game will improve at a much faster rate.

                I've sparred with tons of green guys, and months later they have improved greatly just because of the rounds that I give them. Keep at it and don't worry about getting schooled, it happens to all of us.
