Hi all this is my first post here so i will try to be as detailed as possible so hopefully someone will be able to help.
Basically i have boxed amatuer for 2 years having 7 bouts, but the last year and a half i have been out of the ring due to a fractured knuckle ( i hit about average maybe a bit more, but caught someone funny sparring ) Have recently gone back due to a sponsorship deal i have been offered so thats the motivation for training and wanting to do well!
When i used to box i was always the taller guy, but since then i have gained some muscle and stayed at around 5'10" which now makes me the shorter guy
As of this i got used to boxing on the backfoot, now i am back down a club i am trying to change into a pressure fighter so i can get close enough to land something rather then be stuck on the end of them jabs (see why people get annoyed with them now )
I have been doing pads for 2hours a week with my boss (former pro boxer) and he has helped me on pads working how i need to but in sparring i struggle to put it into practice.
So what tips would people give to someone who is a pressure fighter on how to do his 'job' properly
All help appreciated.
EDIT: Also i am now 18 so when i go back to boxing i will now be a senior (if that makes any difference)
