Hard Sparring Vs Light Sparring | BOXING

Hard sparring vs. light sparring in boxing: which one should you choose when training? I am not a fan of hard sparring, and you should generally avoid it. However, there are times when you need to spar all out, especially if you are training to fight and compete. Sparring is important to train your boxing techniques and skills.

Like my coach said, I rather get hurt in the fight than during sparring

[thanerigdon]

Hard sparring is never good unless you’ve never done it. Always take it easy

If Tony the GOAT of boxing YouTube replies I will do 50 pushups

Although hard sparring can give you major character development

There's no point I'd rather save it for a real fight..not be injured.

Somebody send this to Sean Strickland😂

Agree, i use to box only semi pro level and only hard sparred for a fight and only for 4 weeks of the camp.

Often did sparring with speed but not power.

I think the problem is what most people consider hard sparring is decent level of sparring. Some places spar so light that is ridiculous and you will never be prepared for a real fight

What makes you a good striker comes from heavy bag work, And drills, light sparring is for executing techniques in real time. Don't get fooled into thinking you need to go hard to be a better fighter.

But hard sparring are also necessary to know where is your limit. In order to understand there is always stronger than you. Question is the frequency. But otherwise indeed, regular hard sparring won’t bring you anything at all, except health problems

Is hard sparring but only to the body ok? Because we do that at my gym

[highendtrends]

Facts! If you’re in a gym and your getting hurt guess what… that ain’t the gym for you.

[IjazAhmad-hk]

Hard sparring is really important but not ever session

[georgezazueta]

I love hard sparring, how am i gonna get ready for a real fight if i never fight, the more i fight the better i become at fighting while of course working on my punches, head movement, footwork, conditioning, etc

Putting the greatest Cassius Clay in there was respectless af!

One guy that comes to mind is Brandon Rios. He's a warrior, and I mean no disrespect, but he's not even 40, and he sounds like he has a mouth full of marbles.

[corbelan]

I sparred 2 days in a row, it was pretty light and even got to the point where I gave and took some hard shots. I’m gonna sit out for a while. I’m scared it’s gonna get bad

[chadderz]

I had a guy in my sparring who was just hitting hard every time and gassed out and passed out he was told to leave the gym ps i was sparring him all the time until i jad enough of him doing it and knocked him down not out but down and made him think

[rdgamer]

At my gym we go light to the head and hard to the body but not full blown attempted murder, if someones got someone in yhe corner and their not getting out we usually ease off and let them through, and the national champions and fighters with fights usually dont ever go hard unless its against another high level fighter

[gorillamafia]

Let's be real all sparring ends up becoming hard maybe 1 out of every 50 sparring sessions is actually light and that's usually when your in there with a complete beginner 😂😂😂😂
