Question
about how weeks of training and how many rounds of sparing do u think is needed for a 10 round bout.and how would u taper the sparing as u get closer to the fight.
Joe,
I would start sparring 6 weeks out. Four rounds on 3 days the first week. 2nd week, 4 rounds on 3 days and 8 rounds on 1 day.... 3rd week, 5 rounds on 3 days and 9 rounds on 1 day.... 4th week, 6 rounds on 3 days and 10 rounds on 1 day.... 5th week, 7 rounds on 3 days and 12 rounds on 1 day....6th week, wear a full face guard, 8 rounds two days and no more sparring 5 days before the fight.... only defensive drills and some punching drills with mitts....
good luck,
jackson

Experience
I have been in the sport of boxing since 1984. I started as a boxer and advanced quickly. I was lucky enough to have some of the best sparring in the country with 3 top ten pros in my very gym. I am fortunate enough to live near one of the better boxing programs in the country. We have cultivated our facility into the largest Amateur Boxing Gym in the country. In the mid 90's I became a trainer for Golden Gloves. I train amateur and pro fighters. I have worked in many corners at USA and Golden Glove tournaments. I have worked corners in pro bouts on HBO and ESPN cards. My friend, boss and coach is the former President of Golden Gloves and I trained under his tutelage.
Organizations
