    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.

    Done frequently and that will just put wear and tear on you, but I can see the point in it.

    It's one thing to be sharp when you're fresh, another when you're fatiqued.

    You have to make much more of a concious effort to remain balanced and composed and you can't rely on speed as much to get to openings etc. It's also bound to build mental toughness and confidence in yourself (ie our club did a 24 hour boxing circuit for charity last year, just bag work and not really done as an effective session to build fitness... just for the challenge of it to raise money for chairy. but since doing it I know that I can be VERY, VERY tired and still dig deep and throw hard effective punches and keep a balanced and defensive posture)

    Not saying I'd reccomend it, but I can see that you'd get something out of it.

    We often do light sparring after a tough fitness session, it's a great way of forcing you to think. When your body can't keep up with your mind you have to ensure you're in range, pick good openings and don't leave openings when you throw.

    I'd compare it to Roy Jones Jr in his later years. When he lost his foot speed and reactions the flaws in his boxing fundimentals at a high level became more obvious.
