Really great posting Grey!

Now I know what my trainers means with putting myself out of order when i clinch! I do the same thing. I like being up close and fight instead of keeping distance. When i got someone against the ropes, i can give blows for a long time (stamina is fine). But....Not only do they not impress my sparringpartner, but also my punches get really bad. My trainer says i have a pretty good technique, but up close, as he calls it, I "smash and cleave" instead of giving correct punches. Any kind of them. I saw myself on tape and it looks horrible. My trainer said it was (partly) due to my way of standing (besides the fact that I just fail to punch correctly ). Now I think I understand what might be the problem for me.

Tomorrow i'll have my last sparring session before the bout this saterday. I hope i remember when i clinch, to mind my footposition. I let you know if it did the trick!

Thanks! (also on behave of my trainer, i'm sure )
