There’s this guy in my gym who’ve been through a lot (even prison for years) and has issues with his family. He said the gym is the happiest place for him and it’s cool. What bothers me with him is he likes hard sparring and I hate hard sparring. Whenever we’re sparring I’m like at 80-90% with him, I’m a heavyweight and after each sparring he tells me, I feel like I lost years of my life sparring with you. It just makes me sad, hard sparring is a cope for him J think but that’s the only thing he likes. When we are sparring, I’m thinking about not getting hit to the head and it’s usually the case. He ends up with the most damage every time
@@ElementFreedive There is around 50 lbs difference. He must be 180-185 and I’m in the 230-240 range. I spar with 14oz gloves and it’s fine 99% of the time as I never do a hard sparring.
@@imhassane Dayum...+50lbs is crazy...hopefully a good pro coach is looking after yall...many places won't allow such sparring. 16oz's should always be used in sparring especially for heavyweights. USA Boxing gyms require it. Don't kill the guy, lol!
@@ElementFreedive there’s another heavyweight who is bigger and taller than me. I’m 6’2 and the other one me might be 6’6-6’7 for 250-260lbs and he dropped that heavyweight last week. So he’s not bad. It’s just that he likes hard sparring and I don’t like it. So whenever he starts going hard, I just remind him I could knock him out as I know I can take his best punch easy but he can’t take mine. I’m not trying to knock him out but I give him some work to calm him down a bit.
this video was so fire dean, it explains it on how us as boxers deal with our own problems🔥🔥

@@ElementFreedive and whenever the sparring is getting too intense the coaches intervene to bring down the intensity
