Getting Hit On Arms While Sparring

[ICB]

Thats great. Was it three or four rounds?
The feeling of winning is amazing isn't it?

4 rounds.

When i started i come out very fast throwing combinations to the body and head, i used my movement and jab. The 1st round went well and so did the 2nd but because i was coming out so fast i used up a lot of nervous energy because it was my 1st amateur fight. I felt little bit tired in the 3rd round so i cruised that round just to get a 2nd wind, then i come out for the final round and i basically used the same tactics as i did in the 1st 2 rounds using my speed, movement, jab, combinations, my opponent couldn't match me in hand speed so i was able to get my shots off and win exchanges. It was a great learning experience and i learnt a lot.

When i won it was amazing feeling because i really love boxing, and it was a pleasure to compete in my favorite sport.

Work on pics and deflections against his punches. I don't know what kind of strength training you do on your arms, but getting hit in that area is just part of boxing ...a lot better then the ribs.

BTW Ice,the whole point of whomping someone on the arms
If you cant get through their guard with a pointing shot,it will slow them down some,and make their arms start to drop

Hitting on/just over the hip does the same for the legs right?

Partly,but if you can do it in a clinch on the side that the ref isnt on,the thighs work even better.Guys who do real well that clinch alot,look at how many times they drop that shot on there.It causes your whole leg to cramp up eventually

Nigel Benn V Chris Eubank is a prime example of that, Eubank went down from it.

The last line of defence are your arms. The first is movement never forget it. Anything you use for blocking you cant use for punching.

cc back Ice,go back and watch any of B-hops "dull" fights,he's pounding the other guys thigh like it owes him money.
By the later rounds he just starts out manuevering the other guy
By those later rounds Hopkins can just impose his will by superior mobility

in relation to the original query I believe the only way to grow accustomed to getting hit on the arms is to get hit on the arms in training. I'm lucky that starting at 10 I grew accustomed before it could hurt too much!

I do suppose that press ups and pull ups would help to harden all of the soft muscle tissue and ease the pain also.
