Hello, I've recently started boxing at a local gym. Since I've only had about 3 lessons in boxing (I have bought a big punching bag to do my exercises at home and to train my techniques), I've had problems with weekly sparring. I'm new to the club and the people there are hard to spar with, but I don't want them to go easy on me or something, cause in the ring people won't neither. I want to work for it, but I just wanted to ask some tips.
I'm still not fast enough to block all punches and because my sparringpartners are really quick, I wanted to know if their something I can do about my insight on how somebody could throw a punch at me, how to evade it, or simply how to get my punches fast enough to get someone's attention of.
Hopefully I can get some good tips here.
Thank you for your time
