Another installment of sparring demonstrating the value of sparring with boxers from other gyms. Sometimes in sparring sessions, trainers match boxers that are older and heavier with boxers that are more experienced but younger and smaller. Sometimes sparring is used to help work on particular techniques and trainers handicap boxers-- like instructing them to use only jabs. Sometimes, trainers may want to give boxers different looks against a boxer who is much taller, has an opposite stance (righty, or convention stance vs. lefty or southpaw stance) or just a different style than the boxer is used to. The goal of this type sparring is to give each boxer valuable real-world training and to prepare for competition. It's often said in the sport of boxing that "Bags don't hit back." meaning a boxer must practice what he or she has learned on an actual opponent who will fight back. That is the only way that they can learn to do it in competition. Because of this, sparring is an integral part of developing a boxer. This video shows a sparring session between boxers from two different gyms. None of the sparring involves teammates facing each other.
