1 hour straight sparring

[erics44]

I have sparred 10 two minute rounds with a minute in between and been relatively fresh at the end, i think i could have added another 6

but then added a minute to each round and half my interval would have been pushing it

That is admirable. You were/are in good shape.

You know as well as I do though that there is a world of difference between 3 min rounds with 30 second rest and 2 min rounds with 1 min rests.

to be honest ive never tried 3 minutes and 30 seconds rest

i reckon adding another 6 to the 10 i did would have been a lot of hard work, id have had to have been at a peak to increase it in any way

FTechnical? full contact? light? Body only? all will make a difference

full contact, no headgear, 14 oz gloves, hard as you want to go.

They all go kickboxing, but I'm a boxer and thus only want to spar boxing, no kicks.

Now I learned that one of the trainers said you can sit out a round or two, and if the head trainer is in a good mood then its 1 hour of 2 min rounds, if not then its 1 hour of 3 min rounds.

For that type of fighting I'd recommend 16 ozs, but 14'll certainly do.

I imagine its to "toughen" guys up and get them used to fighting while tired. Increase stamina etc.

Myself, I think its pretty brutal and stupid. Just tears guys bodies down.

Gonna check it out myself next month, basically so I can challenge myself and spar better guys. Don't think I'll make it a habit of going though if its especially bad though. No sense in it.

I agree with your skepticism lol

Cant see the point in sparring for 1 hour, sparring you use to improve you technical side blocking countering footwork,combo's.
