Gator001 Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 A lower rated 'sparring worth' fighter gains the big benefit I f you have an elite 5 star boxer doinga session with 2 or 3 star fighters they will gain considerably while he will gain nothing except maybe reset on declining If you have a 4 star you are training to elite he really needs to be sparring against 5 stars to get benefits at a reasonable speed Im no expert though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damndaniel Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 What gator said. Also you need at least 5 fighters per session in sparring. It splits in half at 10 though oddly enough. So 9 fighters is better than 10, if 10 fighters are in a session, they will split into 2 groups of 5. Idk how it splits once you get to 15 and 20. But as long as you have 5 (including your fighter) you will gain benefit, assuming sparring partners are good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator001 Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 i have been advised in the past not to bother with sparring young fighters until at least 20 When I first started i ignored it and tried to build primaries. It didnt work well Young fighters should fcus on secondaries based on the build you are going for, early 20's I spar them a bit to pop their primaries when they are close Older fighters I spar a lot more but their secondaries are already very high based on their build Once again I am not saying i am expert so I am interested as well if one of the very experienced managers has better info 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skenoj Posted March 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 You can t get your fighter to elite without sparring, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator001 Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 You can t get your fighter to elite without sparring, right? It would be very slow, by the time their primaries are 14, 14+ or ++ they are getting on a bit in most cases and training gains are much slower so I think would be extremely difficult and a waste of valuable training time. I was told to train up secondaries to a high level when young and get them to elite with sparring when older as sparring will raise the relative secondaries as well as the primary 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
