Actually, its fairly typical to put a first timer in with a much more experienced fighter. Really not much point in putting two beginners in with one another. He opened up on you because you got his attention, and you should have a better idea of how to avoid a volley of punches than you did before because punching back isn't always the answer and, against a good fighter, "covering up" is asking to be hit. You also should now have the Number One rule implanted on your brain- or nose, depending how much he put on that triple jab
- protect yourself at all times and
always assume you are being lied to.
Good luck. It sounds like you did well and you are still able to talk about it.
