Black out

[Big $teve]

Hello All,

When was the first time you blacked out in the ring, if ever?

Was sparring this new guy tonight, trainer told me he was strong - he threw wild fast hard punches but mentally I just cover up and fail to counter. End of 2nd round I was in corner and he got a shot and next thing I know im sitting in the corner on my ass.

Back to gym to work harder and work more technique. Damn mental fear

happened to me the first time i sparred at the gym..dude was younger short but stronger then me..way stronger, his style was kinda like george foreman n ****..i start out doin good, stickin the jab, 1-2 then move out the way till i get tired and the pressure takes away my stamina and i get agaisnt the ropes and he just takes off, punches movin my hole body and everything soo i try to get out, but he muscles me to a corner and pounds away..all i did was cover up so one of the trainers said "thats enough thats enough" but the dude still kept poundin me for another good 5 seconds..but i didnt get knocked down..but im much better now and i just say to my self " why the hell am i letting this dude hit me?"..it fires me up alot and i just keep throwing..next time you spar, just say to your self " i aint about to let this dude punch me n i aint gonna do ****, ima knock him on his ass ( although its sparring, its just to get you a bit more motivated)..
