So I had a fight on Friday past there. Long story short I lost. I got in the ring and when I saw the guy I was fighting I kind of froze, he was bigger and looked very muscular. I know this doesn't always mean they'll be a tough opponent but it still shook me a bit.
His power wasnt very impressive even when he caught me flush, but when he threw wild punches I over reacted with defense and froze too much to counter.
My fitness should have been better than his but again, when in the ring my breathing went I count find a rhythm and I was breathing heavy.
I was thinking sparring more often against different people would help solve this. I currently only spar once a week and it's always the same 5 guys in the club. I never struggle with fitness against them but I feel it's because Ive got comfortable with them and know their style etc. Do you think more sparring will help with nerves in the ring and is there any other drill you can do for breathing or keeping your cool under pressure for counters.
