Lol, Fuck knows. The times I have been told to go to the gym for sparring the lads I am supposed to spar with havent turned up, and its a pain in the arse.This is during the day.

At night time when I go its the pros who have all the sparring and they seem to go at it hard. No amateurs except for kids go at night. The only sparring Ive done was with a pro.

Now that you have brought it up I think i will have another word with one of the trainers tomorrow to see if they can shove me in the ring with someone, cos I am dying to let rip.

Right on dude! Sounds like you're ready. I hope they'd find someone for you to spar with.

Well, goodluck with that. And let us know the outcome.

3rd April

3 rounds shadow boxing

6 rounds skipping (I changed the order to see if it gave the arches of my feet a bit of a rest. it worked a little bit)

6 rounds heavybag

1 round on the small heavy bag

6 rounds double end bag

Had a word with my trainer about sparring. He said that I should go in at 2 30 tomorrow as some other fighters nearer my level are due in at that time.

4th April 08

4 rounds shadow boxing

2 rounds sparring

6 rounds skipping

6 rounds heavy bag

6 rounds double end bag

Sparred with one of the pros who I had sparred with before. The coach asked me 3 times if I really wanted to spar with this pro so I was beginning to wonder if something was up !
Sparring rules were full power to the body but to pull our punches a bit with headshots. The pro I was sparring with is a super feather and he is a bit taller than me. And he went at it far harder this time than before.

I didnt feel i did well, got caught with a ton of hard jabs (I dont think the pro was actually pulling his headshots as the coach told him a few times to calm down). My nose was bleeding quite badly and swollen and the inside of my lip is cut and swollen as well.

The coach and the pro thought I did well and looked quite comfortable in the ring and the pro reckons my punches were pretty strong (I barely hit him with a clean shot though). I found it very hard to slip any punches and got caught with almost everything. Saying that, ive barely been training 8 months and he has been training over 8 years so I should be a bit more realistic in my expectations.

Points to work on.

I was a bit too upright. I am not a particularly fast fighter so its better for me to fight in a crouch as I will never outjab anyone due to speed and reach.

Spend more time slipping punches when shadow boxing and on the double end bag.

Get my stamina up, when I was missing with my punches I felt absolutely knackered.

get a fitted mouthpeice. The Shock doctor one is a bit too bulky and I find it hard to keep my lips together. I think thats why my lips are cut on the inside.

When my 12 oz gloves wear out to get some 16 oz for bag work. I used 16 oz gloves for sparring and they felt like a ton weight. may as well buy 16 oz gloves and get used to them.

Any comments and advice are appreciated.

My biceps are starting to become tired as i am training with a lot more intensity these days. Started to take protein and glutamine after training to try and combat this. Hopefully I will see the affects soon.
I think I will try to do some bodyweight exercises from tomorrow to try to increase my strength.

Forgot to take my glutamine on friday after training and after a hard football game on sat. i really felt it today and my body, especially my triceps were sore before I even started training today.

One heavybag and the double end bag were knackered. Hopefully fixed/replaced soon.
