KK, are you the southpaw? if so, i would not want to fight you at 147 cause thats pretty tall
Yeah I'm the Southpaw. That video was shot on our 3rd day of sparring in the week, and it was the first of 4 rounds, so it's kind of slow paced. We're going to have more that are full speed.
The guy I'm sparring is Diego, and on that slower day, he threw a shitload of punches. He's the typical Mexican fighter, can't pay him to back off, gets hit and don't care, won't stop punching. Count his punches, you'll see.
man i miss sparring in my amateur boxing days, where the emphasis was on working techniques.
Now I'm training at an MMA gym where people have huge pissing contests when they spar. Just all out swinging and people getting hurt all the fucking time. I hate tough guys. Hopefully one day MMA will evolve into a more refined type of combat sport, i see it happening, but very slowly.
And the coaches let this shit happen? Man you remember what happens in real Boxing Gyms when you cut wild and start what I call "swimming" (head-down, windmill punching), the other guy has full permission to put you in your place.
Said Ouali knocked out a couple guys for that in our Gym. He started lighting them up a little, their pride gets hurt, they start swimming, he turns up the heat. One guy's trainer gave him shit the next day, he complained his feet hurt. "You're feet can't be hurt, you wasn't on 'em."
you have tons of knowledge that you can share with us. i've always wanted to see you do your bag routine. i've tried it out once...it was tough but fun
I might at some point, but remember I don't govern my own training right now. It'd be more of a Mike McCallum training video than anything else. Wanna see what that's like? Here:
