Sparring Tactics?

[StrictlySP]

Hi BoxingDude,
You asked:

So when you spar, do you look for openings and try to land shots in those open areas? Just need some confirmation, thanks!

Yes, absolutely. This is one of the objectives of sparring, to develop the timing and accuracy to land effective shots to vulnerable targets against a dynamically-moving/resisting opponent who is also trying to hit you at the same time.

Boxing is a dynamic game of chess involving rapid-fire actions and reactions. Analogous to chess, the more thoroughly you understand the "pieces" (i.e. the weapons and targets) of the game prior to playing it, the more you can "think" about and focus on applying the strategies and tactics that will propel you to victory instead. Sparring helps immensely in cultivating this.

Take Care,
Lito
