Welp I finally got put in the ring

I will say that I did better than I thought. I’m wearing the blue headgear and if it’s hard to see, the other guy is definitely bigger than me. I don’t know where but despite my fear of being hit he found a way to hit me in my jaw. Also he got me in the stomach. I also messed up my left shoulder because I threw a punch wrong(they all are somewhat wrong I’m still learning) a good takeaway is that my wrestling movement is transferring over beautifully. BUT if he was smaller than me I think this would be a problem. And coach was right, I don’t yet have the conditioning for sparring but I’m here now😭

How do I go about throwing hooks faster.

I made a post about my two week progress and I immediately got hyped up. Despite coach saying I wasn’t ready for spar, I grabbed a guy that was willing to go with me so I could see if I was the next Muhammad Ali (joke)

Long story short, he beat me like I stole something. I threw one punch and he hit me with 5. And no matter how hard I tried to throw more punches, I couldn’t. It’s like after throwing a hook my body needed to reset before I could throw another. And the power I had hitting the bag went straight out the window. As for that, i don’t even know where to begin searching for the solution. To make matters worse, I didn’t record so I can’t see how I look.

First two weeks of boxing class.

Working on tightening up my gaurd I think a big problem I’m going to have is a lot of openings.

And before you ask, I wrestled for 2 years back in highschool so don’t move like a complete newbie
