Teacher vs Student: Boxing Hard Sparring

My fighter Ricardo has his first #boxing match next weekend. I've been working with him for a little over 10 months, and he's a model student that follows direction to a tee, works extremely hard, and is always eager to learn and improve. So to prepare, we laced up and did 3 hard rounds of sparring (after doing sprints at the field).
Please keep all comments positive and encouraging. All negative/poor-coaching comments will be deleted.

[@stephendowner2275]

Looks good he just needs to be more aggressive and not wait for his opponent to throw first

[@duxidoom213]

Must be from miyagi doe

[@stephendowner2275]

@Ryan Lee ya because it's a good rule of thumb. Do u want me to be more specific and say how he needs to utilize his lead hook more often and when he throws hooks he needs to sit down on them more. Then for his movement he need to learn not to just move forward and back. He has to move side to side. Or when he slips punches he should counter off it. I gave a basic rule of hit first because that's an important thing to learn. Shane will help him perfect everything else. You can't throw every detail at a new fighter of what they are doing wrong. They will just get confused and have a harder time. So no shit I put a comment on how he should follow a fundamental rule and not try to coach him. That's not my job

[@corywarshaw4100]

Man I so know that feeling... Outclassed and out of gas. Fighting your teacher is always humbling, but it gives you something to strive for!

Ooh dang, you don't see much training sessions with a teacher and their student these days. Nice sparring session! Would be nice to see more like this/keep up with his progress 😁🤘

[@HavokStrifeX]

My coaches sparred/rolled with me on the regular. I share the other commenter's opinion, if that's not what you see in gyms you go to, you're going to the wrong ones.

[@aureliantherestorerofthewo6935]

@Aimee Frost me and my trainer sparred too. But he told me that it doesn't make any sense for me to fight him since he weights 18 kilo more than me.

[@greatteacherpablizuka]

As a boxing teacher i'm proud of your gentle words "If you fight like you did on 2nd and 3rd round, I'M HAPPY". It's not "you got it bro" or "you are gonna win". It is just the feeling of "you are doing great, you improved a lot and maybe you win, maybe you lose, but you did your best and as a teacher I'm happy with all your effort". Keep up the good vids bro , althought we don't have the same fighting style you helped me a lot to improve myself and my students!

[@cherryperoxide]

shane is on a different level!!! so fluid and always coming forward in that thai stance

[@JokesNBanter]

I love how the both of you coach everything you say makes sense

[@montytaco69]

He did really well, just work on lateral movement when he's stressed and be the aggressor, other than that that was really good

[@Delacroixplays]

Shanes footwork the way he follows those punches thru those counters is crazy on point bob and weave

[@ResidentRatt]

Maaaan, Ricardo looks sharp and has good movement! I’m sure he’s gonna win his fight if he hasn’t already.

[@YuhboyJacob]

Başar Kahraman no it’s not too late, but you better get started. There’s killers who have been wrestling since they were 10 years old. Every day is a day to get better and outwork your “opponent” which doesn’t have to be the guy your fighting, could be the guy next to you at the gym. Get in the gym, work on your hands, find a good gym and stay committed.

[@TheSubieFan]

From my experience with different a lot of gyms don't really belabour teaching they say oh your doing this wrong or that wrong but they don't continually press the issue. I remember my gym the coach could literally press one issue for months until it was ironed out.

[@konpoy]

@@TheSubieFan if you want to fight for them they do but if you do it more recreationally they think it's a waste of time

[@TheSubieFan]

@@konpoy key word they think. I think self defense is irreplaceable and one of the most useful things to build a person up.

[@kiowhatta1]

'Correction does much, encouragement does more' - Goethe. I observe far too many people getting a narcissistic hit out of unnecessarily criticising. It's easy to tell someone what they're doing wrong, rip them - then walk away. I believe it shows maturity, and humility, to take the time to be encouraging in a courteous, dignified, helpful manner. Sure, we all occasionally need a reality check, but honesty without consideration is abuse. IMHO of course! Kudos to anyone who can get in the ring and spar according to the agreed-upon parameters.

[@JesusChristismyLord316]

He’s good just needs to roll his shoulder when throwing his straight and moving his head out of the way of your jab.

[@davidwilliams4837]

Good luck. Ricardo looks like a killer. Nice work. I'm glad you were drilling him to "get out" when pressured. He can use his jab more here and there and sink lower using his shoulder to shield if needed. Impressive. Wish him the best with his match.

[@djenks412]

Watching this made me really really want to start boxing again and I think I will. This young man has improved leaps and bounds and I see that you’re a little hesitant, which is normal. Just keep pushing young man you WILL be great!!!!

God damn only 10 months and he’s like this? Give him a couple years and he’ll be a beast

Nice video, looking forward to his fight. Also, damn, Shane really means business when he is sparring hard, definitely wouldnt want to be on the other side, props to Ricardo for holding his own.

[@matthewlambert7510]

You inspire me man! Win or lose make sure you go out there to fight not to win. If you go out there to win when you take a hit you will get scared. If you go out to fight, when you get hit, it should excites you and then you will give him three back!😀

[@stormeyes4]

Ricardos speed was incredible! Shane, your coaching is getting good, I know that’s your goal, so keep up the good work. Looks like the only thing that Ricardo needs to work is being a bit more aggressive when cornered, seemed a bit stiff when he was backed up but beautiful rounds

[@jones9309]

The best sparring match I've seen lately. Nice and controlled but hard enough to get your attention. Respect 👊

[@majaimay]

hey man if you haven't fought yet, two things to try to remember. Don't hold your breath, every move you make let it out, even if you only have time for the most shallow quick breath make sure you keep breathing. Also try to maintain composure, don't get over excited, keep high intensity attacks in short bursts and wait for the right openings for them.

[@vito4801]

Before round 3 when Shane goes "If you sit me down, I'll be happy"... My God, man, Shane is such a humble and awesome coach!

[@critical2apps]

4:30 i see that stance switch!! Great stuff u cant get it past me. I already know your gunna be thinking of what you can do with that when you review the footage

Great work, stay your ground by using your jab and feints. Don't be afraid to take space. Especially if it's given to you.

[@crepeinaround]

I can see the love in that fight Shane, good on you for being real. Ricardo you remind me to work on my jab, your low to high form was smooth and your feet land perfectly in time. Just like Shane said already you gotta break that rhythm and not trade blows but stay aggressive whenever you can

[@elite4304]

"Only positive comments". To be honest that's all I believe is valid. Considering he is a student he is doing extremely well. I'm sure him and his opponent will enjoy their fight.

[@gabewinkel5370]

For someone that's only been boxing for 10 months he has picked it up really well, I think something he might need to focus on (same mistake I made after about 12 months of boxing) was when you use energy to gain ground, with the double jab or the jab right hand, as I see he throws a lot, don't always retreat back. You used energy to gain ground and position, don't give it back to the opponent without them having to work for it, GGG would be a really good fighter to watch, once he gains that ground, you need to punch him out of there. Super interested in watching him as he progresses. Love from Aus!

[@michaelguyton9016]

Love The Humility, Awesome Sensei Shane 💯

[@trousersnake1841]

I remember that's how my Trainer got me ready for my first Bout, by sparring one of the decent amateurs going all out for 3, 3 minute rounds. They were the hardest rounds I have ever done. Prior sparring before that was just moving around thinking I was pretty good, I soon got a shock and it certainly got me ready for a serious Amateur bout.

Always appreciate sparring videos!

[@abab1388]

Shane and PJ are phenomenal coaches, love the positive reinforcement. Good luck in the fight.

[@chablisboy]

Ahead of a first amateur bout Ricardo looks in terrific shape. Two things for your consideration. Firstly how about placing a cross made up of two bits of tape in the centre of the training space so that Ricardo has a visual clue as to where he should position himself in the ring. Aim to constantly work to regain the centre of the ring and occupy the cross. Secondly Ricardo don’t forget to work hard in the days leading up to the bout on visualisation exercises. Take time to visualise how you will feel on the day and plan in your mind exactly what you will do in the hours and minutes leading up to the bell. If your opponent is known to you visualise what your game plan will be for the first minute or so of the first round and how you will adapt and overcome any obstacles that arise as the bout progresses. If you opponent is unknown to you, visualise repeatedly how you will overcome the challenges faced by a taller outside fighter, a come forward fighter, a counter puncher or a maniac who comes at you throwing wildly for example. Work these things out in your head before the bout and you will find that you will be better placed to deal with the situations as and if they arise. Best of luck from your Boxing comrades in London, England.

In sparring I feel that there is no winning or losing, just progress. Keep up the good work bro! Both of you God bless.

[@WOW-xi3fi]

1)Push the pace more( opponent comes at you, counter and get out then do it again) Keep them feet moving when you’re in a corner. 2) Relax. Started off jittery like a ball of energy. Relax your legs and move more freely. Drop your shoulders. 3) let the punches fly... fuck the exhaustion

[@rodsaunders8832]

Dope work fellas! I know it can be hard to focus when going all out, but instead of stepping back after combos try to step towards the side of your opponent . That way you can get shots off at an angle, force your opponent to reset, and be out of danger at the same time. Sorry for the unsolicited advice. Keep it coming and good luck on your first bout.
