Is one year still too early?..

[yvonne]

Well Von, its not that im scared or hesitant. I've actually landed some hooks and uppercuts albeit they werent great. Like i said, i can throw them great on a heavybag, but when it comes to a live opponent, its like you said, its harder to land (with good technique). Its a completely different world. But the best way i can explain it is, a mental block. My mind yells at me, but my body wont move. I think thats the big problem, is that i havent conditioned my body to throw these punches without thought or hesitation like dizas said. So i guess i should drill more before trying to perfect it in sparring.

You guys have given me some good things to think about though. It could be i'm not drilling the punches in the approriate situations or it could be that im not sparring effectively.

and dizaster, i'll take your word for it and shadowbox while watching some fights, and react to the other fighters movements. Since i kinda do it in my head already, i'll just take it another step up.

Alright they mate.If you feel you need more conditioning and more time in learning to throw then thats great.It's a fact that if your determined to adopt great technique in your Uppercuts then just apply some of the things mentioned from other boxers and boxing fans on your Thread.Just try not to worry too much on letting the punches roll off in your sparring sessions.If your still hestitant in throwing them then your losing out on dominating great speed,power,leverage,and timing mate.And you know that them techniques are vital inthe sport of boxing.So Please try to erase any negative thoughts and LET THEM PUNCHES ROLL!!!!!My friend.The quicker you get rid of them negative thoughts the quicker and better you'll be as a boxer.Good Luck.Let me know how you get on mate!
