Trying to get a fight schedule set but the struggle is real. Regardless, sparring continues and on Wednesday I'll be working with another coach for padwork. I might be adding him to my corner crew, not sure yet. He's a coach from Elorde actually, so it'll be interesting to see how he changes up my training and what new he brings to my game.
Sparring today was six rounds but I felt confident about them. Am moving a lot more with my defence as oppose to just taking the punches. I don't like weaving so blocking the punches and back stepping has become my go-to for defence. I'm getting a bit too predictable with the punches I'm leading with so today I found myself consciously trying to throw the opposite. I tried to mix it up, get comfortable with my lead in, and then move around more.
Sparring was good. I felt it later in the evening though, wow.
I hit the weights tonight for shoulders and abs at Fitness First, long after sparring was over and done with, but my head felt like it was in a vice. Regardless, I had scheduled myself to get in a second workout, work the weights, and I wasn't about to cancel on myself. Came home after weights and pretty much crashed after my last meal of the day.
Current injuries I'm nursing:
-- turf burn on my left butt cheek from rugby
-- two fingers cramped up from rugby (long time injury now)
-- head feeling like it's in a vice from sparring at boxing
-- fat lip from getting head butted during sparring
