Streetfighter or boxer?

hard uppercuts when they are coming in

Sounds like you might be trying to set them up to much. You might already know this but against people with no exsperience you can't trick them the same way. Because they have no idea its even a trick. If your used to fighting guys with exsperience its a totally diffrent game. I have seen good fighters have problems with beginers because they are used to fighting people who react the way they are suppose to. You are having a problem likely becuase the people you are sparing are not reacting the way you are used to. I used to simplify my game with aggresive big beginers and had more succes. Also look for what their personal reaction to things are when they slow down.

this is so true

and also the trick to brawlers is to always keep moving, and its likely if they are beginners that they are forgetting to protect their body (most beginners may start out protecting their face but entirely disregard the body) - just take advantage of that are you will be smooth sailing

If they have no technique then you need to keep your composure and counter their wild swings.

so true man....i´m used to technical intelligent lightweights, sometimes i lay back on the ropes like if i´m hurt or tired so i can counter punch...the beginners don´t come forward lol...it´s like if they don´t understand they hurt me! lol..

but its aite guys..thanks for the advice...i´m gonna spar this guy again tomorrow, i´m gonna keep these things in mind...might tape it and upload it here!

this mma gym I spar/box alot of mma guys that have like a very poor brawling technique and they come swinging at you ,but i find easy to take the piss out of cause their punches are so wide and you see them coming by a mile...best way to stop anybody like this are long straight punches i find

This is exactly what I was gonna post lol, even about the MMA gym thing.

The place I train at over the past couple years has had large crowd of MMA fighters and every once in a while Im sparring one of them.

I change up my style alot when I fight them because they just swing pretty wildly basically I keep my hands right at my head higher then usual and get a lot lower then usual. Im able to deliver really strong straight punches that are pretty easy to land and get out of the way from their looping punches.

I actually did get dropped once or twice by an MMA fighter which was frustrating thats when I decided to change up my style when I spar them.

Circle them and keep them moving. Most people who street fight are not used to moving around so if you use the full space of the ring they will be weezing after 5 minutes.

Use feints too, I've noticed that people who are not experienced with boxing have a tendency to try and react to every single hand movement by trying to parry it with their hand so it shouldn't be too difficult to get them to lower/abandon their guard.

Sparred again with the guy

Hey guys,

I sparred again with him...

The outcome was unexpected...

I decided to think more and wait for his shots, jabbin him all the time...every time he used to throw his right, which was almost always a power punch I just turned towards his right shoulder making him miss wildly. I did this over and over countering with 1-2s and right hands, the guy got so pissed, he just could´t find me...

Half way through the second round he got so angry he pushed me against the rope, i leaned on them givin my back to him and the S.O.B. just started pounding on the back of my head!

I guess that was the only way to get to me..so the ref stopped the session and the guy´s not allowed in the gym no more lol.

Impressive changes from one sparring session to another..it was just a confidence boost. Great experience.
