Before you begin sparring with a partner, make sure you protect your knuckles and your wrists. Wrap you hands properly. Have a trainer show you the right way to wrap them, because this is very important.
Then the gloves go on. Sparring gloves are actually designed to protect your hands, not your opponent's head. These usually weigh about sixteen ounces, which is more than most fight gloves weigh.
You will also need headgear when you are sparring. These protect you from bruises and cuts while you are sparring, and they're used in amateur boxing as well. Head gear will not protect you from hard punches that have the potential to knock you out. You need to be aware of this, because otherwise you may feel too secure when wearing headgear.
The groin guard will protect your groin area from punches that are too low.
Your mouth piece is sometimes called a mouth guard, and it protects the inside of your mouth and your lips from being cut by your teeth when you are the recipient of a hard face punch. The mouth guard also serves to lock your bottom and top jaws together, so that if you are struck by a hook (a blow to the side of the head), you won't suffer damage to the joint capsule of your jaw. Wear a mouth guard even if you're sparring, and especially in competition.
Sparring with a qualified opponent or partner is one of the best boxing workouts. This practice-fighting will allow you to work on your fitness and your skills. A sparring match should not be contested like a fight. Often, you and your sparring partner will plan ahead of time what punches you both plan to work on.
Body sparring is sparring where only body shots are allowed, no punches to the head. This is usually done so that the risk of injury is lessened, and to help newer boxers spar without risk of head injury.
Sparring is the single most important aspect of your training regimen. You can always work the bags, but they don't punch back, and you need to learn defense as well as offense. Sparring will help to improve your timing, the speed of your reactions, and punching in combinations.
Sparring teaches you to work through the nervous energy you will feel on fight night. If you are too nervous, that can play a large role in the outcome of your match. If you're too nervous leading up to a fight, it can leave you with an empty "gas tank" before the fight even starts. Your legs may feel heavy, and your gloves may feel like lead weights. There is only one way to get past these feelings, and that is through experience. The more matches you have under your belt, the easier it will be for you to overcome the anxiety you feel before a fight.
Anyone who boxes has experienced nerves at some time. Whether it happened before their first fight or a title fight, they had to calm their nerves before climbing into the ring, just as you will need to. The more experience you have, the less anxious you will feel before matches. You can rely on your hard work in the gym, as well as your fundamental skills, and these are all aspects that help you develop as a fighter. Learn "the game" first, and then you will be able to develop experience and confidence. You can't master the sport of boxing overnight. It will take you several years to adequately learn the sport, through your boxing workouts and through actual ring experience.
You should head into each session of sparring as an opportunity to make some part of your "game" better. Spar with many different opponents, so that you can accustom yourself to different styles that your future opponents may have. Boxing workouts and ring experience together will put you at the top of your game.
