SORRY for the late post but I have been nursing my wounds...
Yesterday I took an absolute pounding.
I had been worried about my nose all along - well its finally be smashed so im not too bothered about that anymore...
After the usual warm ups one of the trainers took me into the round again to do three rounds of sparring.
Now I thought he would go easy on me but to keep me on my toes, blocking and working he didn't hold back the punches and I took a lot to the face!
It didn't help that my head guard was sliding all over the place blocking most of my vision.
Anyway after catching a lot in my face and nose I was pretty stunned and really struggling.
I need to find something to light a fire in me as at the moment I am missing that 'agression' in the ring and holding back.
And I was punished for it yesterday.
By the third ring I could hardly move and my punches couldn't swat a fly.
Still its all good experience and at least I have now 'boxed' three rounds. And I hope that was a 'worst case scenario'.
After a few minutes rest I hit the bags for a few more rounds before doing some pad work.
I am definitely more comfortable with my jab rather than my right hand which is strange and is something I need work on.
So not all good and with the clock ticking I need to start making some major improvements!
