So that he'll be WANTING to get back in the ring by the end of the month?

Unless your embarrased to stop sparring for only a month or you have a trainer/ B******
that will get mad at you?
It's definitely in his head...I say he need sto force himself back in the ring ASAP (falling off the horse thing) because the longer he waits the anxiety will grow...as soon as he mixes it up for a couple of rounds instincts will return and he'll feel comfortable again...I've seen this happen when fighters start worrying about what people think and who's looking at them with "expectations", screw it...Do your thing for yourself, get in the ring mix it up and have fun with no expectations...
