Re: I have to Backyard spar this....any tips?
Well, for starters, he's constantly circling to his left, which means he's gonna be circling towards your power hand. Keep that in mind. Circle with him, then cut back the other way real quick and unload a haymaker, like the above poster said. Doing so should bring him within range very quickly.
He does seem to have a pretty sharp jab, but he also lunges with it a lot. Stay away, and wait for him to lunge like that, and once again, step in with a HARD body shot, or a hard shot to the head.
He seems to throw a lot of looping right hooks, so step inside those too, and once again, unload a power shot or two.
Basically, he has a good jab, and he seems strong, but his hands drop when he goes for his big shots, and he lunges far too often. Stay outside, don't engage with him. I can definately see him getting frustrated and coming in with big looping shots. When he does, slip it and unload, then back away again. Just take your time, and every time he lunges or gets frustrated, punish him.
Good Luck
Boxing is like a handjob, and MMA is like a hot sweaty orgy with 5 chicks. I could never say no to a handjob, but which would you rather have?
