Training Log: Entry 168

Did both sparring and boxing class tonight.

Sparring.  4 rounds, two opponents.  1 round with first opponent, 3 rounds with second.

1st: Opponent was shorter than me.  He had a predictable head
pattern.  I learned and followed it.  He liked to duck down
and bend over a lot, so I hit him with a lot of uppercuts.  Stuck
him with the jab and followed up with the cross.  Hit some basic 3
hit combos.  He didn't get too much on me.  He was tired
though.  Basically just bullied him around the ring.

Next 3 rounds:
Same opponent as last time.  It was more of the same, except I
managed to get in a few shots.  Not much.  Still nerfed by
his reach.  Need to work my circular movement.  Managed to
stay on my toes a lot, and even slipped a few punches.  That's a
first for me.  Defense slowly improving, now need offense against
reach.
