Ok so i sparred pretty heavily today and got buzzed by a few shots, but i gave as good as i got and it was a great sparring session. But now i have quite a painful headache and the pain is at the back of my head, its the first time i experienced it i was just wondering if thats normal.
Son you just bought yourself a ticket to at least two weeks no contact
What do you mean ? i was little rusty because i took few weeks off boxing, and i comeback and got caught with a few shots that i shouldn't have got caught with. And there was alot of rough stuff on the inside, but what exactly is this im experiencing ? because i've never experienced it in any of my Amateur fights or any of the sparring sessions i've had before.Quote:

Notice me and Scrap agree on a key point,dont freaking spar for a bit.Wether its your neck or your cranium,put the car in the shop for a bit
I would say that's not normal. Take some time off and remember to always come to the gym well hydrated.
You got hurt, its boxing, getting hit is to be expected.
Think why did I get hurt, ask did I cause this myself?, what can I learn to prevent this in future?
what he said, what i do is if i know i done something wrong i ask the coach how to improve it or i ask him what i done wrong, i used to get hit loads because i used to end up scrapping but now when i sit on my back foot i dont get hit anywhere near as much and it feels so much betterQuote:

I think another reason i got caught more was because i done stupid macho thing, because when i got caught with a big shot i would get a bit reckless. Which i don't normally do but it was a good learning experience and i'll for certain learn from it.
A few hours later puts me or Scrap on the right here,every time Ive gotten a pure hydration headache,its while sparring,and its usually the front of my head not my back of my head. So yeah you either got your bell rung,or tweeked your kneck,either way shut it down for a couple of weeks and see how you feel then.Quote:

What I'm saying is you actually got hurt, as in damaged.Quote:

What you expierienced was most probably a mild concussion, so you've got to learn from the expierience and avoid it occuring again.
Well done for taking a break, others are not so cautious.
