Re: boxing training
you are totally right on re: strategy. I sparred a heavyweight today who is training for a fight on wednesday. he was taking it easy on me but him at 50% is worse than most people at 100%. a few interesting things I noticed:
- I used to have "tunnel vision" and as a result would get hit by a lot of punches I never saw coming (a bad feeling). now I am much better keeping everything in sight.
- usually, I am the slow guy who punches hard. today the roles were reversed, and I really had to dance around the ring a lot more. it's a whole different approach to fighting, like night and day.
- we did a fair amount of work on the ropes, and that's a whole different dynamic.
