I haven't started boxing sparring yet in the boxing gym, but I still have this bad habit from Kickboxing sparring of in and out stuff, with no commitment to working the body, etc. Given my superior HAND speed and combinations I should be boxing close range but my brain instinctively shuns this range.
I can of course be a finesse type Boxer but my footwork is not good enough to warrant this style.
Did some of you guys have trouble adjusting to purposely putting you in the line of fire (close range) to effectively fire off your combinations? Also finding out which style of a boxer you are? How do you know if you're a KO boxer vs finesse stylist when the training is so friendly and you never compete?
