I get into the ring for a match and all goes down the drain. Everything happens to fast and i get out-pointed. I dont pressure as much as i do and i dont throw as many punches as i do when i'm sparring. And this happens against guys who are not even as CLOSE as good as the guys I beat in all the different Gyms I go to.
I do not suck that is not what i mean, i have a record of 18 and 6 and those 6 that i lost was against bums compared to all the people i fight wit in my gym and other gyms around Michigan, and yes i do travel all over the state for sparring. I spar guys wit as many as 150 fights and do VERY good, so what is going on?
I want to know what this is? I am not scared, not at all, have taken plenty shots and was never hurt.
I always think its the fear of loosing but i have no idea...does anybody know what the problem could be?
some people may have as much natural talent as you
Re: Sparring, and Matches..
Have you asked your trainer? Watched replays of your fights? Have you considered the guys you're sparring are going easy on you so you thing you're better than you are?
Re: Sparring, and Matches..
Well, i know for a fact nobody goes easy because nobody likes getting showed up, people do not act like much of a team at any of the Detroit gyms, Kronk, Batso, Cannon, Dynamic, and so forth....they all want to prove that they can whoop yo A$$...
MY trainer says maybe its because i'm a 3 minute fighter and i am no good at 2 minutes because i dont go straight for the kill...which is true because even though i pressure i do no throw 60+ punches.
I have watched videos and I c that i dont throw enough punches to win an amateur fight and that was my conclusion...but I just wanted to get on here and see if anybody else had this problem...
Re: Sparring, and Matches..
you should be sparring 2 minute rounds then. ;) No point in doing what your good at... do what your bad at.
Its problably more of a case that the guys you spar aren't brilliant, its hard to go as hard in sparring as you do in a competative fight no matter how much you try, the extra adrenalin gives a massive boost.

Re: Sparring, and Matches..
