The knockdown.

[Trainer Monkey]

Honest,when I first started sparring again,I got caught with a couple of shots early on that led to flash knockdowns,one minute everythings going well,the next your thinking"How did I get down here?"But as I sparred more,I just redeveloped the ability to blow those shots off.
Im assuming your local commision is going to ask for an MRI anyway,if that comes back clean,dont sweat it.
I would make him spar more,just to get him more accustomed to taking those shots

Perhaps,
I'll see what his attitude is like in a week when he's back in the gym, if he wants to I'll help him, but there is doubt in me now.

There will be no MRI, it was in private sparring.

Sorry,quite a few commisions ask for one,just to liscence you,so I was assuming.
See how he reacts to a few more sessions then,if it keeps happening,then Id start to worry..
Do yourself a favour and ask him if he's ever been diagnosed with a concussion before

I'll ask him although I seriously doubt it.

Reason I asked you to ask,different guys react differently to getting concussed,some pop back up like nothing happened at all,you'll talk to them after the fight and their as clear as a clear blue sky,some develop an off switch and are just spending the rest of their careers looking for a comfortable piece of canvas to take a nap on.

I had a mild one myself Saturday.
I've had a concussion but never touched down.
He took a small pop and I reckon he was down for 10 seconds just kneeling as if he was praying, but bent forward, arm in rope.

Could also be water drain if he's tried to lose weight recently,happened to Feur against Seivert,happened to Andrew against Dumas

I make sure he drinks plenty, but I don't know what his intake is like when not in the gym.

Fatigue may have a lot to do with it.

Yeah Feur was coming off the flu and was total weight drained,Andrew sauna suited himself down to make weight.
Both of them ended up going ass over teacups for it,theres a reason I more or less have Andrews training on lockdown now

White collar, by that do you mean a match between non-boxers?
If he's only been training for 3 weeks and it was the first shot he actually felt it probably came just as a shock to him.
Check his reaction this week, is he REALLY up for the fight or not, or maybe the slight over reaction may be a small cry to be pulled out rather than admit he doesn't feel up to it yet.

Couldn't you just increase the pressure when you're sparring him?

[walkersmith]

three weeks is way too soon to be sparring, i know in a lot of gyms you will be thrown in right away but a novice must first learn and be fairly ok with the basics, way to early for this guy to be talking about fighting, anyways if he went down and was spinning after a light tap he prob doesnt have what it takes to even be sparring. stick to non contact boxercise or something lol
