Of course you always want to be ready for anything that is going to come at you in the ring, but the more relaxed and used to sparring you get the easier it is to impliment your strategy.

Thinking too much in the ring causes hesitation and that is bad....thinking too little leads to being outboxed or just a plain old ass whuppin.

You want to have a plan but also have instincts to adapt to whatever a fighter may throw at you. You will just need to find a happy balance between the two.

Balance and relaxation are the keys for success.
