I still have a slight inconsistancy on the right of my nose cuz of the little bastard.

Shit happens.
I took a beatdown here.
He's a lot bigger more expierience, sparring him before I know I can hang with him pretty well.

For whatever stupid reasn I decided to box on the back foot, ring got cut offf, massive hook swelled up my eye.

I had difficulty seeing and landed very little in return, while getting my face marked up pretty good.
All I had to do was walk forward, with my guard up and I was inside, where I can own him!
Stupid!

At least you know why it happened. I've been in situations where I've taken an ass kicking and been stumped...
True, I just have to get back into the habit of going forward trying to hurt guys.
I kno that sounds silly, but I know thats what I'm doing wrong. I'm naturally durable and I have an aptitude for body punching, so I need to practise that and get back into it.
