getting hit in the head hard

[peewee1460]

I said spar, not fight.

There are plenty of things you can do at your gym the day after you get your bell rung. There's no need to spar heavy two days in a row

And Second Impact Syndrome LINK WILL kill you dead.

Unless you go to a doctor and have a full neurological workup, it's hard to know whether or not your next-day headache is benign. Most of the time it's probably just a muscle strain. The other times it's a concussion, and mild concussions are more common than you think. (I used to hand out concussions like some people hand out sticks of gum.) Who wants that chance? If you had a mild concussion the night before, and you get another one, YOU CAN DIE.

last week i got a head ache from sparring monday and then, with that same headache, sparred again on tuesday and then again on wednesday. i'm not dead yet.

speak to your coach ask him what you have done wrong then work on it so you dont get hit as much

If those are the kinds of chances you want to take, don't let me stop you.

Why don't you guys actually listen to Fraidycat? Hes trying to help you guys out and you'r being ignorant.
The chances are rare but can happen. Do you see any Professional boxers sparring a day after there fight?
