A lot of these seem personal. I've noticed that gyms that have a lot of egos have less talent and more hard sparring/gym fights and gyms that are full of killers are fairly chill yet almost militant. Personally I'm just glad to have only been dropped by my friends so far lol
@@jacobmelanson3210 Like the Mayweather Boxing Club? Yeah you're right. Shit coaches, shit fighters... It might be true on average, but yeh. If you don't like it, find another gym. Sparring hard and a lot is the best prep you can do for a fight. It's also the biggest thing to give you brain damage in the long run.
What really gets me about these guys that treat sparring like a fight. These guys know damn well what they're doing. They're clearly skilled and capable of setting up powerful punches/combos, they know they can knock people out, they know they can hurt someone. Save that level of bullshit for the ring or self-defence
5:29 If your partner shells up like that in sparring, stop punching them. You're *not* in a fight, you don't gain anything from "winning" a sparring match or even practicing punching someone not prepared to punch back. Ask them "What are you doing that for?" and *help them*, because what they're doing will get them hurt in a real boxing match or, god forbid, a real fight.
Agreed. There's been more than a few times I could have destroyed a sparring partner (and had partners that could destroy me) and I give them some, and then let them reset. They aren't going to learn being constantly pummeled.
Tony, I've been training the last seven months and gotta say, you really are great for putting out so much information for free. I train at wildcard and usually watch a video of yours before I go in to give my workout direction. Hope to see you there one day!
Tony is correct about boxing etiquette in the ring during sparring sessions. Yes, it is a contact sport, but there are rules and ways to treat our sparring partners. Don't become the guy; no one wants to spar with
Love the video Tony! A sad story. Yesterday, I witnessed a young 20-so year old male die of a heart attack in our boxing gym. No hard sparring, just light cardio. I watched as they did chest compressions for one hour, shocked him, and finally drove him off to the hospital, where he shortly died. This video reminds me that safety is utmost important. Not only is sparring etiquette important, but also train when you are well rested, healthy, and not in starvation mode. RIP my friend 😢
I've fallen in love with boxing over the past couple years, and it's been tough in my mid-30's but I love your channel and I love hearing you break this stuff down. Super helpful, thank you!
"Thats borderline assault. " No it's not. It's straight up assault and I believe if the justice system was reasonable that guy would be at bare minimum not allowed to ever practice any physical activity with a possibility of physical contact under any circumstances or even maybe going to jail.
@@asadmehmood5587 Its actually both assault and battery. Assault happens basically anytime there is "inappropriate" contact. Even a hug could be charged as assault, so a punch definitely counts. And yeah, dude is also guilty of battery in this case I believe.
Hi Tony, great videos you put up and your commentary is spot on! I used to be an ABA England coach (would have to do a refresher course to be one again) and very much dislike the attitude between opponents/gym mates at times. Good coach's like you with a strong presents are vital in educating individual's and moulding them into better boxers and people outside of the gym ❤❤🥊🥊
Shannon briggs came into my boxing club in the KENT area, hes so kind and respectful, took photos with everyone and had a move around with all of us, came across as a gentle giant and was really eager to help people get better
Having someone whos able to kick your ass watch out for you is one of the best feelings in this world. I know its goofy but i feel so much love from the guys at my gym who can kill me if they tried but I can feel them watching out for my best interest when it comes to health and safety. You're defending yourself but being in a gym like that with great ppl- your guard is never truly up cause you know ya'll love eachother as a fam.
Heard you on Paul Morts podcast and subscribed straight away. I've only just started boxing training at 50 years old and this is full of useful content for me watch and learn. Brilliant work, cheers Tony.
Happened to me about a week and a half ago. The gym had issues with this one guy because of his recklessness. Well I decided to spar him, give him the benefit of the doubt. Well I said light spar, lightly tapped him with a jab and a cross so I sent the tone. He responded with a heavy overhand to the face. I’m ok you did it now, and I ramped up. He got banned from open mats and got put on supervised spars. He also had a spar. What does he do, kicks the training partner during a boxing spar.
something sort of similar happened to me.. i did my first sparring session last week after a month of boxing. i told the partner to go easy. after a few minutes he said i had very good defense...and things went downhill, dont know why. i was touching him up a lot, but very lightly - not hard. i was having fun. but during counter punch practice, i threw some light jabs, and he threw a heavy hook, and i really felt he was throwing with bad intentions. the head caoch was not there this time, but i dont know what to do besides avoid this guy next time. i told the guy after the spar, 'you go too hard man' and hes like 'you did too' and i said 'its hard to tell if youre punching too hard, but i told you to let me know if i am' and he said 'well we got some good work in' lol what a tool. any advice, please?
@@stringsnare So it sounds like you handled it properly. I mean you told him to go light and to let you know if you go too hard, presumably because you know you’re new to it. So if this guy wants to spar, you’re not obligated to spar him, you can say no. It sounds like common sense but so many people don’t want to make it feel weird. But no one is looking to get hurt unnecessarily because there’s enough chance under ideal circumstances in boxing. There’s a whole lot of reasons this could’ve happened. Is he newer too? Or he could’ve gotten pissed because you’re newer and you were touching him up, not saying it’s your fault. That’s on him for having a fragile ego if that’s the case. If you’re newer to the gym it’s a feeling out process. Not sure how the head coach is, or how your gym operates. If it persists. Can you go directly to the head coach saying you’re not entirely comfortable working with this person and describe the situation? Or do they prefer you go to an assistant coach and then if the assistant coach can’t handle it, he/she makes the head coach aware of the situation. To me it wouldn’t be the worst idea for you to ask a coach to supervise the next session between you and this individual. Hope all goes well for you
@@joshc.6706 thanks so much for reaching back to me so quick, much appreciated. i am very friendly with the head coach - in fact, all the coaches are very nice there, everyone is nice, so i was surprised to encounter that - but at the end of the day, its a boxing gym which probably attracts egos of all types. the crazy thing is, the day before we sparred (this past sunday), i saw him on friday night while i was doing some weight lifting there (trying to get back in shape). there was something i just didn't like about the guy based on how he carried himself. i believe this sparring partner has been training for quite some time. it was kind of weird because after we fought he was asking me my weight, and age and was like 'so your lean' (im 35, he is 25). its almost like he was competing with me. i get the sense it was his ego, i am quite sensitive so i can feel people out, and that was the vibe i got esp. based on the questions he was asking me, it was just weird. we usually end up being partnered by the coaches, in which case im scared/not sure how i can refuse politely to spar that guy. btw, he was i think 6 or 6'1, i am 5'10 and 154lb to give you some idea.
@@stringsnare not a problem. yeah unfortunately boxing can attract so many egos. Yeah if you feel comfortable talk to the coaches and bring the situation up to them if they don’t and, if there are a good amount of y’all to try not to pair y’all up. However if you’re the only similar sized person or there isn’t too many people it makes it harder to avoid. If that’s the case in my experiences never a problem to ask a coach to keep an eye on this. There’s other students so unfortunately if they don’t see it or looking for it to begin with it might get missed. Also is he known to do stuff like that with others? I know you said you were new so maybe not as was to tell. I’m 28 so I get it, 25 wasn’t that far away, I’m humble but i know a ton of people who weren’t. It sounds like your coaches are very good, so if it persists I’d imagine they’ll do something. There’s really no good outcomes to having someone ramp up on new people unless warranted (not saying you, just in general if a new person comes in super cocky and needs humbled for example). But yeah definitely some weird questions. I’m not sensitive to that, but I’m very good at reading people and I’d be thinking “this jagoff isn’t really trying to size me up right now and compare” I don’t do that and I’m only 5’7 so it happens so I don’t say anything and I let my boxing do the talking. Pisses me off nonetheless. I go by the motto “No Bark, all bite”. Seems you got a good sense on how to handle this, best of luck in the future
Tony, respect... À class gentleman. Just did my first ever proper sparing tonight at age 34. Loved it! Still just unsure how hard each other should go. And as some one who has never had a street fight in my life and is not generally agro. It's a new world to me so your videos help a lot.
What I love about Tony's video's, apart from the amazing and surprisingly generous tution he offers the TH-cam community in terms of true and invaluable boxing tution, is his consistent example of practice what you preach. He loads Mal practice among sparring partners and encourages good sportsmanship practices among sparring partners. Whilst I've never been a boxer of any sort, tbh, I once found myself sparring a very green and young fellow who was paired with me for that session because of his promising talent, on his side, and my not shying away from the challenge, my side. There was an unfortunate moment where his youthful skill wasn't enough to prevent a lean body shot I had landed on him, and truth be told out of spite for the schooling I was receiving Infront of the gym from such a young lad, but after seeing he required a moment of recovery I decided to remove that option from the rest of the rounds despite the trainer asking me to repeat again as to teach the boy about holes in one's game and perseverance. I felt I would have negated my opportunity to learn about my weakness of being bested in the other areas as a much older man, against a kid(though better skilled still a kid in age ya dig?) And so in the end I feel I made the nature decision to test myself and while allowing a developing young boxing mind feel their own progress without inhibition. To prove this correct, I've done nothing ever in boxing but that kid has since gone on to be a pro. He still contacts me once in a while but I'm not credited for his success. And rightly so, I'm nothing in what became his journey through ranks and other gyms. I'm just glad I wasn't a force for bad in his development and I credit that for why we can still catch up when he is back in town. Treat sparring as the opportunity it's supposed to be. Practice for development and not practice of your best
At my gym the sparring was super controlled, hard sparring wasn't allowed unless it was the experienced adults or it was the purpose of the session. It allowed the very experienced fighters to get in the ring with far less or smaller fighters and have a technical sparr.
Tony I've watched a few of your videos and would like to say they are great. Each video is very engaging, concise but informative. Thanks so much for uploading!
Thank you Tony for The Professional / Human Intel. Excellent in-your-face information. Really a fine line between sparring and deliberately hurting people.
Totally agree with you Tony. Sparring is designed to help and improve boxing skills and conditioning. Not to beat down a less skilled boxer. It’s sad that some boxers and coaches use sparring for wrong intentions. ✝️🇺🇸🥊 Coach Mando from the Alamo City.
Actually left my previous boxing gym because they were sparring each training session like really hard. Now luckily found a good gym in which sparring is for learning!
Thank you for the content. I would have to agree with you on everything that you said throughout the video always keep your head and hands up and facing your opponent. And sparing is to learn you can go hard but it definitely depends on the situation. Respect to Shannon Briggs for checking on his opponent and making sure he was ok
Sparring hard all the time like a r-word will prep you like nothing else for the fights themselves. But it's also the main reason why so many fighters have brain damage. They took most of that damage in the gym, sparring, not in the fights themselves. Especially guys like James Toney.
You are right, one time i knocked some out during sparing, that person never come back at training, never learn how to protect yourself and its bad for a business too.
That would be great mate, Thank you! If u don’t mind, could u please share this vid on ya social media please. Will really help me out :) All good if not 🥊 You can check all my videos here: th-cam.com/users/TonyJeffries1videos
I love your channel Tony. I'm new to fighting but after 2 week of watching your videos for 2+ hours each day. Tomorrow I am going to confront my bully that has been harassing me for 3 years. He is about 40kg bigger but I am feeling confident because I am faster. I will know you how it goes.
sparring truely taught me my lessons… I was sparring with one of my friends in our dojo and she punched me in my nose, I was like “okay.. it doesnt hurt” but immediately after she right hooked my cheek and I was flabbergasted 😂😂 taught me to keep my guard up
Hi Tony, I appreciate the value of your videos, I am trying them at the gym. Just wanted to add you seem like a decent person too, that also matters to me. I have not been able to find anything bad about your reputation, cheers!
That's why I hate boxing sparring so much. What's the point of losing brain cells just for learning how to box? KO should be for competition only. I'll stick with Muay Thai sparring.
when he said "finish it" he meant the round! thats Rollie's trainer & Rollie that was Rollie with his shirt off too when the crowd was yelling in Vegas
I am 50 now. I have been studying and watching your great education videos. Today my coach did light sparring and I was so HORRIBLE AND SLOPPY. This was my first fight ever. I still want to learn to box but I feel like I am a embarrassment . I have been doing this for 9 months
Many guys don't want apologies or to be shown care from someone who just dropped them. It may seem like a silly ego thing, but it's the same in life. - If interviewing for a job, but someone else gets it, you want that guy checking up on you making sure you're okay? - If trying to date a girl, but another man gets her, you want an apology from him? When embarrassed or hurt, opponents apologizing can add insult to injury.
The disrespectful bredda in yellow is Alan nglani from one championship no? He is a beast and shows much respect in the octagon. I am surprised the martial artists' ethos didn't extend into his training on this occasion. Thanks for the light entertainment Tony
People think boxing is easy. It's one of the most counterintuitive things you'll ever do. Leaning into punches, relaxing while someone is trying to hit you. If you want to spar, make sure your trainer has your best interests at heart and doesn't throw you in as 'fresh meat'.
The guy who beat up the unconscious man in sparring is trash. Good on you for not allowing those kinds of toxic individuals into your gym. Thats a sign you run a good gym, when safety reigns supreme.
I hate when I spar people and they go all out for 30 seconds and then want to stop because they're gassed out. That's not any way to get better because obviously in any fight you're gonna keep going and get rocked. Although I feel that's something the coach should bring attention to as well.
5:16 The guy who landed the big shot is Robin Krasniqi former IBO Light HeavyWeight champion from Republic of Kosovo. That guy is a beast. He represents Germany.
I have a karate and boxing back ground. I wanted to learn how to throw leg kicks so I joined an MMA gym. Before getting into the scenario let me explain I am extremely flexible and throw a lot of different types of kicks in sparring, all of which have an extreme amount of control when thrown to the body / head. First night I join the sparring session I have 2 rounds where i constantly get swept by thai fighters, I loved it because it made me adjust. I got paired with another individual, I threw a jab followed by a question mark kick to the head with 5% power. It was in front of the coach and he started laughing. At that moment the guy I was sparring lost it, he rushed in with a leg kicked clipped me with a solid right and i fell to my knees, wobbled. My ego got in the way and we started throwing blows like it was a fire fight. After the sparring session finished it turns out he had 5 professional fights. I asked the coach "do you always let your pros lose control like that?" and he said "it's a fight gym. I want fighters." That day I cancelled my 150$/month membership and never went back again. Sparring should be controlled unless you know the person well enough to pick up the intensity. I have seen fighters career aspirations crushed in the gym because of uncontrolled sparring. Moral of the story PLEASE SPAR CORRECTLY!

Even worse he was hitting on the back of the head lucky he had some protection
Or tap lightly on the target then stop and teach them to correct and stop exposing the side without any vision etc.

sorry to hear that mate
Did he have a covid jab by any chance? There’s are thousands of athletes having heart attacks from covid jabs
wtf how did that happen? must be a disease or genetic deficit
Hes had the jab
20 year olds don't just pass away from heart attacks, specially if they exercise. Must have been the vaccine, no question in my mind.

Your Channel is gold man! Super humble too. Ive grown a lot as a boxer from your training videos these past 8 months, thanks for everything Coach 🤝👊
Love your channel! I just started watching this week, and a lot of your tips are already helping me improve my punches/footwork at the gym 🙏🏻
Thanks Matt! Happy to help as well mate.

That feint from Briggs the overhand right is absolutely sublime, it's what allowed the shot. Really nice
At my gym the sparring was super controlled, hard sparring wasn't allowed unless it was the experienced adults or it was the purpose of the session. It allowed the very experienced fighters to get in the ring with far less or smaller fighters and have a technical sparr.
Can't wait to spar knowing the most High will guide me through them. 🙌🏿. Great reaction bro lol.
Tony I've watched a few of your videos and would like to say they are great. Each video is very engaging, concise but informative. Thanks so much for uploading!
Thanks ma man, means a lot. Just love what I'm doing mate.

I love how you also teach us good manners
Hey Tony love u from India🇮🇳 u r one of the most humble person I ever saw & thank u for all tips of boxing
Good learning material; new subscriber here and good to see Shannon Briggs showing great sportsmanship conduct in a sparring session
Why are most of the boxers so humble outside the ring ? Absolutely amazing. Ali from London uk
Awesome video Tony , keep them coming id watch all day if only i had the time , u are the man LEGEND
Thank you Tony for The Professional / Human Intel. Excellent in-your-face information. Really a fine line between sparring and deliberately hurting people.
Thanks! This was fun and educational. I appreciate that you emphasize sportsmanship, too.
Hard sparring destroys the weak brain cells, which leaves only the strong ones, making your brain work better.

That must have been some street beef that was brought into the ring. I cant belive that was a legit sparring match
Great video Great coach much love to the UK
Too many egos. "No man is free who is not master of himself." - Epictetus
Totally agree with you Tony. Sparring is designed to help and improve boxing skills and conditioning. Not to beat down a less skilled boxer. It’s sad that some boxers and coaches use sparring for wrong intentions. ✝️🇺🇸🥊 Coach Mando from the Alamo City.
Hey coach, hope ur doing fine. Yeah I totally agree on what you said.

Greatly appreciate it Tony. 🥊
@@armandohernandez3106 Shout out to The US Coach!
Yea the first guy just got completely humbled.
Actually left my previous boxing gym because they were sparring each training session like really hard. Now luckily found a good gym in which sparring is for learning!
"No, I''m sorry. I hope you're okay! I probably smashed your ribs, though." Made me laugh a lot
Damo in the first clip performed what we like to call a rodtang gone wrong
One of the best, albeit low res sparring sessions on TH-cam is James Toney sparring Danny Green. It's gold. Jeff Fenech in Greens corner a nice touch.
You are such a gentle coach i am from Pakistan my coach used to beat us with sticks good on you 👍
lovin these clip vids Tony, actually entertaining AND informative, your channel is a belter fella!
You're the best respect to you! The first boxing YT I started watching!
That's amazing mate, Thanks for your support.

Great vid, Even better mentality. Much respect
Much respect to you Champ.
love the insight on these reactions!
Glad you like them!
1:45 That one guy looked like he was performing the dempsey roll, noice.
Thank you for the content. I would have to agree with you on everything that you said throughout the video always keep your head and hands up and facing your opponent. And sparing is to learn you can go hard but it definitely depends on the situation. Respect to Shannon Briggs for checking on his opponent and making sure he was ok
What a great video m8. Your insight into these clips is fantastic. More!
Tony speaks the truth .
I like your attitude Tony
Love your passion Tony👍👍
Cheers mate.

Thanks Carl,
Guy in yellow Shirt is ONE Championship Alain Ngalani
2:40 was awful, them letting him hit the back of the head, and even caused the kid to convulse on the ground.
Tony your videos rules!!
I like your reactions, Tonyyy, make more!!
Thanks mate more vids will come, so turn your notifications on so you don’t miss it. Reactions got me like that coz some vids are crazy mate.
Love the content and the energy champ! Keep it comin!
Sparring hard all the time like a r-word will prep you like nothing else for the fights themselves. But it's also the main reason why so many fighters have brain damage. They took most of that damage in the gym, sparring, not in the fights themselves.
Especially guys like James Toney.
The guy in yellow was Alain Ngalani an MMA fighter in ONE FC
Just found this wee gem. Great info and hilarious!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly, sparring is for learning. Not brutalizing each other for no pay.
you have inspired me to start working out and runing
You are right, one time i knocked some out during sparing, that person never come back at training, never learn how to protect yourself and its bad for a business too.
Gentle reminder to lets bring the TH-cam algorithm up by liking Tony's video!
That would be great mate, Thank you! If u don’t mind, could u please share this vid on ya social media please. Will really help me out :) All good if not 🥊

The "big guy with the yellow t shirt" is the predator from one FC mma. He was preparing for a fight I think in this video. He's a high level pro.
I love your channel Tony. I'm new to fighting but after 2 week of watching your videos for 2+ hours each day. Tomorrow I am going to confront my bully that has been harassing me for 3 years. He is about 40kg bigger but I am feeling confident because I am faster. I will know you how it goes.
Thank you 🙏🏼 good luck and be carful
Be careful buddy. Good luck. 💪
Bro be carefull you never know whats going to happen.
Mate, I think you are joking, but if you are serious I would reconsider your plan.
Kid - if you're being bullied, talk to your parents or a teacher. Don't get into an unsupervised fight outside of a boxing gym!
really love these reactions
Thank you 🙏🏼 more to come
my coaches: "get in there, move around with him, work on your defense, don't go hard on him or he's gonna go hard on you. get in there and learn"
sparring truely taught me my lessons… I was sparring with one of my friends in our dojo and she punched me in my nose, I was like “okay.. it doesnt hurt” but immediately after she right hooked my cheek and I was flabbergasted 😂😂 taught me to keep my guard up
Hi Tony, I appreciate the value of your videos, I am trying them at the gym. Just wanted to add you seem like a decent person too, that also matters to me. I have not been able to find anything bad about your reputation, cheers!
"You wouldn't play football and let someone score a goal for free"
I dunno, bud. When was the last time you watched Barnsley play?
Tony Jeffries you da man.
The last coach has been playing too much mortal kombat
That's why I hate boxing sparring so much. What's the point of losing brain cells just for learning how to box? KO should be for competition only. I'll stick with Muay Thai sparring.
6:07 Rolando Romero and his pos dad lol
Tony you are great! Make more videos with error analysis.
For sure mate, more to come! So turn your notifications on so you don’t miss it.
when he said "finish it" he meant the round! thats Rollie's trainer & Rollie that was Rollie with his shirt off too when the crowd was yelling in Vegas
Love your accent, love your videos
After getting hit HARD multiple times, it's more painful to watch than before
I am 50 now. I have been studying and watching your great education videos. Today my coach did light sparring and I was so HORRIBLE AND SLOPPY. This was my first fight ever. I still want to learn to box but I feel like I am a embarrassment . I have been doing this for 9 months
Never to old to learn boxing Sir, keep it up!
Check this out: th-cam.com/video/hvGZNDWNfqk/w-d-xo.html - this video will help you a lot.
Thank you I appreciate your support. Thank you COACH!!!!
Thank you it was an awesome video. I have learned not punch hard my opponent.
Many guys don't want apologies or to be shown care from someone who just dropped them. It may seem like a silly ego thing, but it's the same in life.
- If interviewing for a job, but someone else gets it, you want that guy checking up on you making sure you're okay?
- If trying to date a girl, but another man gets her, you want an apology from him?
When embarrassed or hurt, opponents apologizing can add insult to injury.
The problem with sparring these days is camera on the phones. Everyone wants social media clout.
love your channel
That big guy in the yellow shirt in minute 3:24 is actually a pro MMA fighter from One championship. His name is Alan Ngailani
Your a great , , you are a good instructor
The disrespectful bredda in yellow is Alan nglani from one championship no? He is a beast and shows much respect in the octagon. I am surprised the martial artists' ethos didn't extend into his training on this occasion. Thanks for the light entertainment Tony
Thanks for watching Harry, more videos to come like this!
If you knock your buddy out in sparring, he’s gonna forget what he was supposed to learn sparring!
People think boxing is easy. It's one of the most counterintuitive things you'll ever do. Leaning into punches, relaxing while someone is trying to hit you. If you want to spar, make sure your trainer has your best interests at heart and doesn't throw you in as 'fresh meat'.
The guy who beat up the unconscious man in sparring is trash. Good on you for not allowing those kinds of toxic individuals into your gym.
Thats a sign you run a good gym, when safety reigns supreme.
I hate when I spar people and they go all out for 30 seconds and then want to stop because they're gassed out. That's not any way to get better because obviously in any fight you're gonna keep going and get rocked. Although I feel that's something the coach should bring attention to as well.
5:16 The guy who landed the big shot is Robin Krasniqi former IBO Light HeavyWeight champion from Republic of Kosovo. That guy is a beast. He represents Germany.
i love this type of videos
Thanks, Ibrahim, ill make more vids like this. So turn your notifications on so you don’t miss it.
Sparring is sparring, you learn, you don't beat the hell out of each other.
That guy with yellow no sleeve dropping the guy with a bodyshot is Alain Ngalani from One FC
I have a karate and boxing back ground. I wanted to learn how to throw leg kicks so I joined an MMA gym. Before getting into the scenario let me explain I am extremely flexible and throw a lot of different types of kicks in sparring, all of which have an extreme amount of control when thrown to the body / head. First night I join the sparring session I have 2 rounds where i constantly get swept by thai fighters, I loved it because it made me adjust. I got paired with another individual, I threw a jab followed by a question mark kick to the head with 5% power. It was in front of the coach and he started laughing. At that moment the guy I was sparring lost it, he rushed in with a leg kicked clipped me with a solid right and i fell to my knees, wobbled. My ego got in the way and we started throwing blows like it was a fire fight. After the sparring session finished it turns out he had 5 professional fights. I asked the coach "do you always let your pros lose control like that?" and he said "it's a fight gym. I want fighters." That day I cancelled my 150$/month membership and never went back again. Sparring should be controlled unless you know the person well enough to pick up the intensity. I have seen fighters career aspirations crushed in the gym because of uncontrolled sparring. Moral of the story PLEASE SPAR CORRECTLY!
