I just wanted to know about the right sparring partners. I train at a gym near my home, I been training about a 1yr and my coach had me sparr his top guy for my first session. This guy is a pro and needles to say it was intimidating, but I sparred him with knowing my skills werent on his level and felt the difference in skill level.
I just wanted to know what some thought and could give me some advice. One thing I took from it was my visualazation is much better when I shadow or hit the bag, and my defense has been worked on. After sparring him I was dissapointed in my style, exchanges and that I didnt do enough, but the fact I even stepped in the ring with him gave me hope or told me that I'm crazy.
