Nerdcore Boxing

Sparring keeps you honest. You can be a little off throwing punches on the bag. If you’re training partner isn’t watching close, you can throw them wrong on the mitts. But when you start sparring with good boxers they will exploit those holes.

I haven’t been squeezing all the reach out of my jab and straight right and my arm trails my shoulder in my hook. As a result I’ve been having trouble “reaching” my sparring partners and I have difficulty landing my hook.

I’m still working on ironing out these rough spots, so we’ll see how sparring goes tomorrow night.
