Hi, when I'm sparring i have a problem with certain fighters (not all). The type of fighters that like to take part in wild exchanges are the problem (the ones that keep throwing punches when they get to you). Now if need be I can dance around them throwing jabs and the odd right hand, but I can't commit to my punches too much without getting involved in long exchanges where I'm landing shots but taking shots too. This is pretty useless as im not getting hit, but I'm not landing anything significant. This is not only boring, but does not pose much of a threat to the other fighter so they will just keep coming for more. When I do get involved in exchanges of punching i land my shots, but feel i get hit a little too much myself. I don't mind taking a few shots as that is inevitable in boxing but I don't think it's great to just exchange and see who comes off best, but at the same time I want to get some decent shots off. I don't want to engage in long, wild exchanges, where we are both landing shots, but both taking them too, this goes on until ones fighter tires/gives in. Has anyone got any tips on how to get the upperhand in exchanges, but not engage in too long ones, in otherwords, land some shots and get away before taking too many.

Thanks, Stef
