Sparring last night went a little better. I tried to explain to Zack that he's 50 pounds heavier than me and he can't just go ape shit on my brain. But he's just a kid and I don't think he gets its. He lightened up on his jab for a bit but I don't think he's experienced enough yet to have more than one speed or intensity.
Hopefully he'll figure that out in the next month or two.
Its funny, the guy that I fought two weeks ago is actually the best sports psychologist over here. I'll be going to him before my fights from now on.
I'll enquire from him as to some good books and I'll get back onto you.
Also after he gets back from Beijing I intend on asking him a number of key questions and then posting them on the training board.
I start slow also, but now I just jab, simple as that, rather than start slow I make a commitment to throw 10 or more jabs in the first minute.
I still cannot believe guys with that much of an advantage are allowed to go all out in sparring.
