i was sparring at my gym yesterday with the national champ of 2004

i did spar him a few times but it never really turns out good for me.
he is like foot bigger than me, and weigh a few pounds more than me.

and when i spar him, it's like im fighting 6 people at the same time,
i always start out confident and do get to land pretty much of my punches and combo's,

but he lands more and more, and at some point i just close up and just do defence for some reason (prob cuz i dont want to get hit any more), and when that hapens it's all over,
he finds his rithem and damn i get hit all over by his combo's high low.

i never have tis only when i spar him, prob cus he's the best,
but dous any1 here have tis or something like it, how do you handle this or what should i do
