Imagine padding your resume and getting paid while honing your skills against the bum of the month on the regular. All this while receiving seldom criticism. from the fan base. Maybe even reach more fans. I’m not saying this critically. For pros today who thrive on real visceral hard contact, who want to tour, and who are physiologically resilient; it seems like a lost golden age. But course there’s an oppressive, exploitative quality to the classic form of boxing industry too. And while it hasn’t exactly gotten better today, there’s at least space for fighters to look after their mental and physical health. Personally I believe the best way to improve your fighting skills is to actually fight. But it comes at a cost(if you aren’t a defensively minded wizard). How can you improve skills when your brain is compromised.

Sparring is like a 2 edged knife...On one hand its like the main tool to actually learn how to fight...I remember myself looking like Floyd Mayweather on the bag, throwing sharp and fast, working on the angles etc, but in sparring i was getting beat up by guys that their technique was all over the place just because they sparred all the time...By the time i started sparring regularly, i was improving vastly each session and i'm not kidding! All the flashy things i was doing on the bag/mitts i was finally able to do on a real opponent...But this brings me to my second point which is wear and tear physically as well as mentally...And the mental part i think is the most important... Knowing that practically every day of the week u gotta show up to training and go to war with some random guy (or guys) takes away the fun i think...At least for me that's what did it

One of the biggest reasons that Ali ended up getting so punch drunk is because of all the gym wars that he had back in the 70’s. There were a lot of young heavyweights who wanted to make a big name for themselves, and beating up the great Ali was a way to do that. I remember a big heavyweight from Miami named Jeff Simms busting Ali’s upper lip open in the gym once..nobody wanted to just SPAR with Ali, they wanted to FIGHT him!

Great conversation to be had here. If you’re interesting in boxing from a historical standpoint, you’d find in the pros and amateurs you had guys who had hundreds, if not several tens of fights and lived long lives without much decline. Look at Mexican fighters famed for wars, practically all their greats are alive and lucid. There is genetic qualities that affect who can handle punishment-- most iron chinned fighters usually don’t suffer much trauma after IMO, and many guys had trauma without much sustained wars. Why? Sparring is a key answer. Particularly in Philadelphia, you used to have the famed Philly Ring Wars, and Philly fighters were famously hard to beat-- Marvin Hagler’s losses were mostly to Philly fighters. But they had a short prime from all the wars. Chris Colbert, can barely handle a shot now because he was famous for extensive sparring. James Toney, a defensive wizard who fought an extremely long career, taught by a legendary trainer never took a huge beat down-- but is slurring heavily. Toney famously says he only sparred, didn’t do heavy bag or etc. Sparring is the only true way to hone your skills-- but it should be measured and kept controlled. I don’t think in the 20s-50s extensive sparring was the norm. Maybe some historians can answer.
@back40flopdogg302 ай бұрын
Toney slurring is definitely from sparring. Everyone he's worked with says he's the worst, every round is a war. He says he spars that way because he was brought up in a pit ass gym where guys try to flatten you 24/7. At least that's what I think he was saying.

100% I used to be all about hard sparring every week. Now I can’t spar at all and can’t fight anymore. Still teach and do light sparring or just body sparring know. But it’s SUPER easy for me to get a concussion now. And when I get hit, I feel loopy for a few days after. Takes a while to feel “normal” again. To many concussions. It’s nothing to play with for sure. Sure you may think it’s fun today, but when you get a bad one, it sticks with you for the rest of your days and you have to learn to deal with a new “normal” now. I’ll never feel how I felt mentally in the past, I was hunting / looking forward to that for a while, but it’s something I have to let go of and understand this is just how life is now. I’ll say this, sparring is important. But you don’t need to have hard gym Wars every single day / week. It WILL come back to haunt you one day 🙏🏼

Glad to see you guys talking about these gym wars & how ppl don't care about the fighters.This makes me think of Andrew Golota v Tyson! Golota was hurt, really hurt, & his corner tried to send him out for another round. So Golota quit & I'm glad he did. If you don't take care of you, no one else is either.

i agree, in sparring you take a lot of punishment and many fighters get hurt because of it but there is a benefit in hard sparring, maybe not all the time but there is a benefit. would you rather find out your limitations in the gym or a fight?

Sparring is about working on what you learned and applying it. The more emotional the sparring, the more wear and tear (not just your brain, but your joints, tendons, muscles)

I think we have to look at maximizing the returns of sparring. What percentage better are you getting after the rounds? Were they quality rounds? Did you have the tools to defend yourself or did you take damage for no reason? Just imagine someone who is lacking defensive tools, and also lacking learning awareness. Over a 5 round hard sparring day they are going to take more damage and learn less than someone who has the tools to defend and also learn efficiently. I hope that in time, fight culture can learn to optimize sparring rounds, maximizing skill attained vs damage taken.

Im no robert garcia, but i am an experienced amateur boxer, i will say this, sparring is critical if you want to be any good at fighting. To get good at fighting you have to fight. But unfortunantly it comes at a price. Now i personally would say that not every spar has to be hard. I acually have sparring partners that ive worked with for years and we can throw fast punches without putting much power in our punches. I feel that is how most spar sessions should be , but i feel it is also important to spar hard at certain times but also be defensivly responsible, and another thing with my normal partners we all pretty much know each other and have each others timing and rythem down so that makes it wayyyyy less likly to get hit hard with a clean shot, and we know when to pull our punches. But at the same time it is still important to spar with different partners too though, but in the end i would say take things in moderation when it comes to sparring. Also me and many partners have more of a learning mindset then a competive mind set

Go watch footage of sparring with Ray Robinson, Ray Leonard, Joe Louis, or Cuban amateurs today who dominate Olympic boxing. Emphasis on skills and defense, but not trying to kill someone.

I use to box in the amateurs and sparring I rarely did but would do when needed with a plan. Here in FL GYMS are filled with the logic that the more you spar the better? filled with prid *all EGO* these same individuals could rarely speak due to brain damage. I will never enter a FL boxing gym again.
