Getting Tough With the New Guys ?

Welcome all to the 154th edition of "Comments From the Blue Corner".

In this posting: Sparring report for the first week of May, and another 'Stupidity Files', this time some interesting signs and labels.

SPARRING 'NEW' GUYS IS TOUGH, NOW !

Sparring on Wednesday was interesting.
I did 2 rounds with Tyler, whom I must say is getting better.

He managed to nail me three times in the right ribs. It did not hurt the fist two times, but the third time it did.

I am trying to avoid it by using a new stance.
I am bending my knees more, so I am lower, and my elbows can reach by sides better.
I only use it when I have to. As you can understand, it is not the most comfortable stance.

He also manged to get one good shot on the bullseye.
Yeah, he nailed me on the chin.
I felt it land, and I felt the shockwave going through, but it did not phase me one bit.
I think I have an iron-jaw.

I have also noticed that I don't bleed.
My nose does not bleed, externally. I have noticed that it clots inside. Then a few minutes later, I to blow out this giant ball of dry blood.
I guess that is a good thing...for a boxer.

In addition to Tyler, I also sparred a 'new' guy.

Is it my imagination, or are new boxers getting tougher?

I remember when I first stared boxing, I was intimidated to hit a guy too hard, for fear of getting the same back.

Well, I thought I would go a bit easy on him because it was his first time in the ring, and the dude plowed me right in the face!

Screw that, no more nice-guy. I plowed him back, and again, and again.

What the hell? How did these new guys get so tough?

I think it might be a Stockyards thing.
Stockyards trains people very well before allowing them to spar.

It is a myth that one can walk into a boxing gym, and get thrown into the ring on the first day.
It can sometimes be months before you are good enough to start sparring.
