The first time ever you sparred.. how was it?

[Douglas]

For those who train at boxing gyms, what was it like the first time you ever sparred? How did it go? (Did you do good, did you get beaten on a little bit, etc.)

Well.. it wasn't 100% boxing but all I can remember is getting jabbed at will and having a sore nose for a few days... and maybe landing 1-2 shots of my own...

MAYBE

My first round was against a girl who had been boxing a long time. I didn't want to hit her... and well she had no problems hitting me. When I did try to put a few on her she was no where to be found... very slick.

Then a guy my size and level stepped in the ring with me, I loosened up and messed up his nose with a straight right within 30 seconds and he couldn't see anymore. That was a good motivator after being picked apart by a girl that was smaller than me.

i got beat up by a boy 2 years younger than me, i was too afraid to hit back because if i hit him he would want to hit me back harder.

i remember the third time i came down to the boxing gym i go to i was put in the ring with someone who was a bit better than me but not much. I really didnt know what to do so i just charged into him my hands going wild and managed to land a lucky shot on him which knocked him down..... But then i learnt the hard way that that doesnt work lol

Ya know, that's always been my main problem in sparring for me, too. I'm to scared to fight back because I'm afraid of pissing them off and them really beating the shit out of me.

Just had the first 2 rounds of sparring yesterday... whoa was a rush but yeah the guy took it easy bc there were many times he coulda wailed on me. Got a good beating though and prolly only landed about 10-15 good punches but cant wait to get back in!

They put me in the ring with a guy that had won the GG like 3 times!!! they told him to take it easy one me....he was hitting me with everything but the kitchen sink when I cracked him with an overhand right.(or a wing and a prayer) and it stunned him..... I remember the gym got real quiet and then dude blasted me....I didn't go down but someone set off some fireworks in my head and the session was done.....The coaches said he had never been stunned like that before...it was really motivating!!! but my face hurt for like 3 days.....

[Von Milash]

when you guys spar do you go hard or light?

[ThA BrOnX BuLL]

the first time i sparred we gave everything we had ...But i was 10 lol

[BoxingCoachBW]

I was scared shitless...

Kind of like a Crackhead fighting for the last rock in the bag!!!

Overall, I settled into sparring and became addicted to it, I like it better at times than competition....

Sparring is the main thing needed for training as a fighter....If there is one thing you cant do without, its sparring!!!
