Is the legnth of the round determined by you or a big timer in the gym? If it's just you are you looking for a professional fight?

There's a gym timer. But even if I was timing it myself, sparring rounds are 2 minutes, but I would still keep rounds on the bags at 3.
 
Wednesday, September 23rd

Jump Rope: 10m
Shadow Boxing: 3 x 3m Rounds
Rope Drills: 1 x 3m Round
Sparring: 5 x 2m Rounds
Heavy Bag: 3 x 3m Rounds
Shadow Boxing: 2 x 3m Rounds

Notes: Sparring went decent. 2 rounds with a guy right at my level, and then 3 with some new guys that I mostly worked defense with. Stepping around the guy tricks are coming along, although I sometimes do it from too far away and get countered. Slowly being added to my game though.
 
You seem to spar every day. That's pretty intense, I know I could not handle that.

Reminds me of Anasai in The Gloves.

Yeah, we do. I like it. Our coach has a "get better at boxing by boxing" kind of approach. I should have sparred 50 rounds in the last 2 weeks if the schedule holds for today and tomorrow.
 
Liquid - random picture, or did I just miss the reference?

Morning

20m Run

Evening

Jump Rope: 10m
Stretch: 10m
Shadow Box: 5 x 3m Rounds
Sparring: 5 x 2m Rounds
Shadow Boxing: 2 x 3m Rounds
Heavy Bag: 3 x 3m Rounds

Notes: Got some sparring with a former golden gloves champion yesterday, and did pretty well. He taught me a few tricks afterwards, and I worked on them on the bag and in the mirror. Really had me focus on a hard slip to the left under a jab to dig the shovel hook to the body. The key was to dip the right shoulder HARD underneath the jab to get all the torque needed for the shot.

Overall, training is going well, and I think I will be a much improved fighter in the 2 months since my last fight.

thats why I love and hate boxing. There are time where you can spar everyday and sometimes nobody shows up when you are there.

It gets very active during the golden gloves time

Saturday & Sunday, September 26th-27th

Camping trip - A few challenging hikes
Nice mental break
 
Monday, September 28th

Jump Rope: 10m
Stretching/Warm-Up: 10m
Mirror Work: 4 x 3m Rounds
Heavy Bag: 5 x 3m Rounds (30s Punch-Outs)
Shadow Boxing: 3 x 3m Rounds (Weight Vest)
Rope Drills: 2 x 3m Rounds (Weight Vest)
Sparring: 12 x 2m Rounds
Medicine Ball & Neck Conditioning: 10m

Notes: Lot of sparring today, but worked mostly on defense and counter-punching. Definitely a more conservative style than normal, and that allowed me to get a lot of rounds in. Feel nice and loose, although I am fighting a bit of a cold.
 
Tuesday, September 29th

Warm-Up: 5-10m
Mirror Work: 2 x 2m Rounds
Flow Drills: 4 x 2m Rounds
Heavy Bag: 4 x 2m Rounds (Last 30s punch-out drills, at least 140 punches)
DE Bag: 2 x 2m Rounds
Shadow Boxing: 2 x 2m Rounds
* Burpee Finisher: 1 x 2m Round (31 Burpees)
Stretch: 5m

Notes: Pretty light day. In the past, I have trained hard up until the day before a fight, and I think I might be leaving a bit in the gym. This week has been fairly mellow, despite the 12 rounds of sparring on Monday. I am not running in the mornings this week, since I feel like my conditioning is already at whatever it is going to be, and I feel a lot less beat up than previous times. We'll see how it pays off.
 
Joe always has be train real hard a before the fight. But the week of the fight it's really light. So that I can peak come fight day.
