    My First Time Sparring

    Hi, I just started boxing not too long and this is my first sparring. Im 15 years old and boxing has always been inside me and my dream is to become a professional fighter in the future. I know i didnt do perfect and im trying to learn from my mistakes as much as i can and i work hard everyday to get better. I just wanna know what you guys think and I'll appreciate any good advice. And also im a southpaw, are there any good technique, trick or advantage i can use? Thank you. Here it is:



    Im the one with the white shorts!

    Didn't watch the video. My main suggestion would be - don't record yourself for the next year or so. This is pathetic. Every beginner have to record his first shadow boxing or sparring - for what? If you are so inspired by boxing, just simply train. Train for a year at least, once you will be at least little bit established, then go ahead, record yourself and ask people for advices. Im not hating or anything, don't get me wrong..why not just train and get all the information from your trainer.

    Don't think "how you look from the side", other ppl's view etc..simply train hard, watch other boxers and talk about them on here. and who knows, may be you will be a pro fighter or even a champ. Good luck

      your feet are messed up. Too far apart and too much in line front to back, so you can't get turned on your punches.

        When I see young men in a spar ring who aren't prepared to actually PRACTICE anything they've learned I wonder why someone let them in there!
        You didn't block or slip or counter any moves in front of you. You landed less than 5% of your punches and you throw punches 100% incorrectly. I'm not trying to down you son but to start out dpoing so many things wrong is NOT the way to start in this sport!
        I've been a trainer in boxing for 50 years and once bad habits are established they are VERY difficult to get rid of!!!

        You don't need spar sessions you dpo need mitt work to get your steps right and gain some snap on your punches and get your hands where they need to be for offense and defences! You need lots of shadowing to correct your back foot pointing to far to the left, it needs to be pointed a little more towards your opponent so when you "pronate" your punches your shoulders and hips are involved too! Your learning bad posture and poor techniques during sparring and those bad habits will take an experienced and instructive trainer to correct. Unless your trainer is trying to show you that hard conditioning is a must to be able to spar correctly and then to actually fight!

        You have no techinques to bring to a spar ring you do nothing correctly. Your jab is a "paw" and then drops when you bring it back "rowing"! Your left hand looks like your throwing a ball not punching with power! You drop your hands below your waist to throw hooks/uppercuts. You didn't punch to the body once!!

        You Don't belong in the ring, your not practicing skills your just going through some motions that will develop into bad habits.

        Learn to block and slip then counter off those moves, then you go to the spar ring and work on specific techniques. Thats NOT what your doing! Ray

          hahaha that doesn't mean f*** all, trained anyone noteworthy?

          anyway, OP you look good in there until you got fatigued and started swinging. Technique comes in time as you get more comfortable in sparring. You can't expect everything to be on point when in there with a live opponent.

            doesnt mean **** all? why do i have the feeling that your an idiot teenager no older than 18. Ray spent way more time studying and teaching boxing than you spent on this earth. Im pretty sure your knowledge and experience aren`t **** compared to his.

              Perhaps, but being old doesn't make you some sort of boxing guru that shouldn't be questioned. This guy would probably tell Manny Pacquiao to get out the ring because of his 'bad technique'

                1st off, props for just getting in their and sparring, you'd be surprised how many people don't have the balls to step in the ring.

                2nd, it's your first time, you WILL make mistakes, and you WILL most likely look pretty bad, but thats ok, you will only improve as time goes on. Everyone in the boxing game started off from scratch, some more naturally gifted than others, but regardless, we all had to learn one way or another.

                3rd, IF you have a good coach, he should be correcting you as you spar, and then most importantly, teaching you proper technique during your training sessions.

                Good luck, it doesn't happen over night, and don't let negativity discourage you, take it as constructive criticism.

                  Truths aren't negative, when your learning a discipline which boxing is you don't "casual spar" your spar sessions for many months are instructional. You go in with very specific techniques to work on, I didn't see anything that was repetitive so it didn't seem to be a lesson being taught!
                  The easiest and most importan beginner lesson would be to work on moving laterial and use the jab. Also have that same technique coming back at you so your practicing moving in and out against a jab, blocking (perring) also slipping and moving off the slip or countering with a jab off the slip. This would be a beginners spar session, under control and lots of instruction from the coach teaching the dialog that will be used between teacher and student. Every trainer has his own verbage and the student needs to know that a word or two is like a sentence in a normal conversation. Thats another reason for a controled envirerment.

                  de la Hoys1fan, he's retired, so should you! You don't know anything your just farting in the wind! Be quiet and maybe you'll learn something.
