Boxing | Amateur vs. Professional Sparring

[@theguythatcould]

People have to understand that the grey shirt guy isn't there to crush him. He's just there to help the amateur practice. We have pros at my gym that spar with us. They could easily unload, but it wouldn't prove anything, since they're PRO! They give us tricks and tips, but trust me they don't even break a sweat.

[@juhaszmartin7896]

I understand what ur talking about, but many amateur fighters with bigger achievements are way better than those "pro" fighters who just do the whole stuff coz money

[@kgajjahnhutchinson-baldwin6411]

theguythatcould makes sense bro

[@benjaminramjan3742]

Juhasz Martin . totally mate. 10 percent are great, 90 percent are punching bags that the amateurs that fight commonwealth, worlds and Olympics would destroy

[@vladimircrist2297]

Both bad fighters if you want to even call them that other than children. Both too scared to engage and end the fight quik. Just coward and weak fighters as usual :). Na nothing to do with pro. Fighting is mostly speed, brute force and fearlessness. This is why no matter the amount of training you have if the other person is fast, strong and not afraid to get in your face and break your body and bones then good luck. Some of us will literally eat you :). I claim world's best boxer and would challenge anyone if they want but won't end well for you. My punches may kill you so if it's a risk for some good money I would fight any pro :).

I feel really sorry for you, and sincerely hope you can get out of that pit of despair and sadness you call a life. Start by being honest, even online. Good luck buddy :)

[@stzebi]

The pro was a good sparring partner because he let the amateur strike too, he tried to balanced the match

[@gramprodigy]

I like pros that do this and know how to teach an amateur to look for openings. Pro had nice head movement when he turned it on.

[@Will-xl7xp]

That's how you train. You let each other work. You practice moving around their shots. Instead of having a one upmanship battle. You can't get better when the other dude just smothers you with barrages or if you don't let your sparring partner work

[@Jose-em1gq]

I don't think the "pro" had a choice he was getting atted up and the grey shirt definitely was exhaustingly tired from all of the blows he was being delivered to easily.

[@DeVineFate]

Dude in grey is the pro. Notice the difference in technique, combinations (watch the jab as well) and how comfortable the guy in the grey shirt is at any distance, ESPECIALLY how calmly he maneuvers out of the way of punches at very close range. He slowly applies pressure and uses different angles and combinations. I give the man in the grey shirt kudos, he let the other guy get punches and combos in while showing him what to look out for and the counters that he can be prone to. Great video.

[@matteo40886]

Pro has fucking amazing jab

[@rauliuxas]

You can clearly see the grey guy isn't going all in, he's a pro, calm and fast easy strikes while the red one is little more tense, wastes to much energy on thimgs, nice fight :) great experience for amateur fighter.

man the power difference is huge between the amateur and the pro and the resistance to take punches and block slip is a lot better in the pro , but this amateur fighter is very good fast handed nice sparring session

[@jordanhughes3137]

I got smashed by one of the semi-pro guys today at training, to the point where he looked effortless. I’ve been boxing 7 months - I wondered if there was actually a point to it?

[@ChillMrShade]

that's cool. I was told boxing is a dying sport. I got into it recently. it's not easy, even when you're already in good shape. you either make it or you dont. I watched this video as a newbie getting into the sport.

[@johnfakester5527]

+brian for real What makes you say that? Me and group of friends are also getting into boxing!

You can tell the guy in grey us pro within 8 seconds

[@maruskeuzumaki767]

fullmetal891 True

[@kiowhatta1]

This is proper sparring. Working on various techniques rather than in there to try and knock a guy out. It's surprising how many so-called 'boxer's' don't know how to pull back when sparring and start swinging to air condition the place.

[@jonybob8130]

Still more entertaining than a Mayweather fight.

[@theaccountcreated8962]

Grey shirt is the pro. He’s always ready to strike, but patient. Watch the feet. He glides around effortlessly.

[@guochenggang0321]

Good fight! Even the amateur guy is doing well. But the pro is impressive though.

[@damesy26]

Love this video !! Well done to the rookie for standing after that heavy cross in round one + surviving 2 rounds

[@sachdevtruballer]

Amateur did well reading the jab at 3:26 and 3:31.. Pro needs to look out for those counters

[@derrickdd]

Great session from both fighters... this is exactly how you get better.. Homeboy in the gray started slow but when he lit up that upper-body movement and got the jab going he made it clear who was runnin business.. this is what i like to see guys keep it up both of you

This isn't competition. This is sparring, so it's a learning experience.

[@hawaiiancerveza]

What kind of head gear were you guys using? A few friends of mine want to invest in getting some new gear and a head piece is one of them. Thanks

[@toddskisyd]

the pro fighter is a good guy he took it easy with you,as in he held alot of power shots back,and he classed you in defense and attack without having to rip your head and body to bits ,that's a great guy right there knowing to guide you and not destroy you ..top effort

[@Musicmixer1994]

When you spar do you have to go your hardest ? Is it like a regular boxing match but with head gear or are you not supposed to go to your fullest potential, if that makes sense? Im thinking about starting to box but I would like to learn a little about the sport first.

[@epi7aph]

Many can't hold back. Their reflexes automatically counter attacks even if he doesn't want to. Red kid's lucky to have such a great sparring partner.

[@Tyler2Wheel]

Great video I'm going to have my first amateur boxing match in 3 months I'm super excited!

[@miguelbinha]

If only every boxer had this quality sparring from more experienced boxers! If older boxers took the time to give youngsters their time in the gyms, we could have experienced sparring partners who are aware of rookie's difficulties help overcome them. All done with control and calmness. With an helping mindset.

[@riceboy287]

I like how the guy in grey knows how to really keep the distance between them when he does a jab or a straight. When he squares up and covers himself I feel he doesn't function best from that position, but I think he's trying to go easy on the amateur. His head movement is good too. Love the strong combinations from red guy. Both great fighters.

[@jgibman1]

I tip my hat to pugilists for having the fortitude to even get into the ring. I can clearly see the pro was giving the amateur some work while not turning it all the way up on him. That is good for building an up and comer without breaking his spirit.

[@SmackDownBrown49]

Nice head movement and combinations from the guy in the light gray. Excellent job by the other guy too. Good job guys.

[@MegaUploaderUser007]

I like the idea of amateurs sparring pros because eventually that's what you move up to when you finished the amateurs anyway. good sparring. I was looking on youtube for good spars and i found some good ones like this and the star gym uk boxers out on youtube they are who are good for their ages (12-16) in my opinion with no head guards and stuff. really entertaining. Great video man :) i shall now look for more entertaining spars ;) wish me luck

[@thatsbuzzin]

good session. Glad to see the pro not follow up after he shook him up a little bit. Some guys do and it really doesn't help anybody. Good work from the amateur- nice learning experience.

@Comingtoyaaahaaa good work man .how long are you boxing

[@vietnammuonnam92]

Someone knows any boxing gyms in New Hampshire. It's hard to find one in Duhram.

[@jcherestal]

of course, its provides a little bit more cushion but it is mainly to prevent cuts

[@phillyshell94]

@Comingtoyaaahaaa do you have to wear a mouth peice ? when sparrring what if you dont want too?

[@parker1r]

@Comingtoyaaahaaa hey man, good fight, you guys both looked even, he has good head movement which u need to improve and you have good hooks and uppercuts. He looked like all he mostly used was jabs and crosses and u kept missing with your jabs and crosses. You should try fighting more like how Mike Tyson fighted, he would sorta chase his opponent down and really get in close and throw hooks/uppercuts. Oh yeah How long have you been training boxing for and how long Sparring? Thanks.

[@zmalik10]

Wow you're really good. I had my first sparring session this week, and my main problem is I don't use my back hand as much because I'm too anxious about closing in. I occasionally threw in a left cross (I'm southpaw) and just jabbed with my right hand. And the person I was facing was more of a pressure fighter so he kept chasing me around the ring, and sometimes I'd just curl up until I remember to move out or pivot. Do you have any tips that might benefit me? Thanks, and nice video :)

[@goldanimal3931]

You pro now?

[@goldanimal3931]

Whats your tip to your problem? Im southpaw

[@kaeeosn236]

I wonder who the pro is

[@DavidByrne85]

The one who takes 100% control of the fight every time he decides to let his punches go. He's just moving with the guy and giving him some work

[@Rarebreed480]

Very entertaining match, better then most fights I pay to see these days -_-

[@lmelendez65]

@xlilnetx why dont you take on the pro?

[@carnivalwrestler]

Might want to think about uppercut-hook-straight combo, plus uppercuts and straights when he covers up. And please, learn to cover your liver. Key to this, IMO, is keeping your chin tucked in, which makes it a lot easier to cover your liver and your chin with your right, plus it makes bobbing, weaving and slipping more effective, makes you more elusive. Weave with your legs (not like the pro) so that you'll have power in your counterpunches coming out of it. You got some good hits in.

[@rjgriffiths26]

Both look handy. Good work guys

[@ClayDavisSE19]

I think you looked very tidy for long periods of each round until fatigue set in a bit. Well done mate. Keep up the good work.

[@jameson32]

Wow, those are some quick jabs.

[@thewarrider7]

[@figthersdreams]

Good Job. This guy was going easy on you though. His technique is super smooth, very accurate and respectful. He could have hurt you at any moment during the sparring and only picked it up because you landed 2 hard shots. He was still a gentleman about it. Great sparring partner to have

[@loasolidsnakemgs]

@Comingtoyaaahaaa What's the profesional's name?

[@therealdeal1238]

whats the name of the pro?

[@TheTuita]

@xlilnetx Nah man, I've sparred at a few gyms and it doesn't always get serious. It depends on each person's personality... some guys go nuts (especially when sparring at a gym that's not your own) and it turns into a fight, others are more sensible and it stays as a technique workout. The guys in this video are definitely keeping it nice and relaxed and not trying to take each others' head off. And yeah, 5 jab doesn't do much but it at least gives the red guy a chance to think.

[@specialskills1111]

what is the pros name and record?

[@phillyshell94]

@steven37c the only reason im asking is cause i have an overbite its not that bad but its to the point where i cant fit my mouthpeice correctly thats bullshit

[@theronsturgess257]

Although the amateur had solid fundamentals, the pro had such good head movement, timing and range.

[@youngrichie]

Nice little sparring session there. The guy in red needs a bit more lateral movement to avoid getting tagged.

[@HagakureJunkie]

So I’m the guy in the white shorts. The dude in red is a division 1 wrestler who blew out his shoulder and couldn’t wrestle anymore, so he took up boxing. This is him training for about a year and holding his own against a pro.

[@kungfusushi]

any idea what happened to these guys? did they go far as pros?

[@kunglao879]

What's that pro name?

[@YaBoIcHRi5]

He's hand is down... Counter is jab with a right then pivot away or throw combos after the right...

[@NearMedia]

Red guys pretty solid but you can really see the power from the grey guy's punches.

[@0skyballer0]

Not to sound like im boasting but i can spar with or without my headgear is that good for pre fighting?

[@boshirahmed]

Sounds stupid my friend... Professional gyma, pro or amateur wear guard to protect their investment.. U r the investment... Damage to the brain happens over time, you may not feel pain at the time, but gradually it has an effect.. So wear guard.. Mma don't as shots are more evenly spread through the body... Boxers throw more headshots and usually have more power.... Respect...

damn i had to sign in to comment that this is one of the bests sparring matches ive seen on youtube.although its oly two rounds its exciting from beginning to end.what i wanna know is what weight division these guys are in.?anybody?

[@mijongripuk4383]

how d ya know who is the pro n who is the amateur

[@Paydro92]

hahahaah seriously

[@richardstorm4603]

Yep, the reason why Joe can tell, well first, he is a boxer. :p Second, Pro boxers tend to go at a more slow and relaxed pace. The reason why they do this is because they have to train to conserve energy for 10 to 12 round fights. Amateur fighters have to train to go at a face pace, because they only have 3 to 4 rounds to impress the judge or get a KO...

[@gregk199]

I guess your not a boxer. I noticed the professional with a few seconds.

[@richardstorm4603]

During my prime days, I made it to Nationals (at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado) two years in a row. You have to be kinda good to do that. Before my prime, I won the Houston Regional Golden Gloves tournament and the Houston Regional ABF tournament. You also have to be kinda good to do that, too. I never went pro, but I used to spar pros all the time. I even sparred a couple of past world champions when they were still champs....So, I know a little about boxing, myself...Though, I'm not saying that I'm a Mayweather or something like that... :p But I could bang...

[@gregk199]

Far more interesting fight than all heavy-weight and cruiserweight fights 2005-2015, lol! Look at 1:37 minute... the amateur almost fell down after the pro boxer landed jab and a right hand on this amateur's head... This guy in the grey (the pro) is not taking "it easy" at all. He is cautious and careful. The professional boxer didn't even hit him (the amateur boy) hard; after 1:37 the pro started to hit him less harder, because this boy was going to be KO and he knew that. Great video tho! I give that amateur boy a credit; he stood there and fought ! Thumbs up.
