    hey all...
    my friend and i spar occasionaly and i still havnt managed to beat him. hes a big lebanese guy but is shorter than me, he has shorter arms but is nearly twice as strong and just as fast as me. ive been training a fair bit so i could put up a good fight against him.
    i am more fitter and and have better co ordination.
    we dont do headshots because we only use boxing bag mits..lol
    so is there any ideas/techniques i could use to get hime tired and give up.
    By the way, the more i pound him the more violent and stronger he gets
    thanks..

    Couple of observations...

    The aim is sparring isn't the WIN it's to LEARN

    Boxing has weight categories for a reason!

    The you're not boxing.

    Suggest you get along to a boxing gym and do it properly.

    I read once that Brendan Ingle has most beginners sparring without head shots with a lot of footwork switching.

    Two fighters hes trained to a decent standard - Johnny Nelson and Naseem Hamed may show the result of this as both keep their hands low and switch quite regularly.

    Just box him!! try to aggravate him with a good jab this way you might keep him pretty calm but still outpoint him
