Sometimes it’s just fun to get together with your friends and have some friendly sparring in the basement. But just be careful or you could end up just like this poor guy:
It’s pretty apparent that neither of the kids involved in this ‘sparring’ match are highly skilled. Also of note, a basement isn’t necessarily the smartest place to do any kind of sparring.
And if you are going to spar, at least make it far. In this video, the poor guy on the left is in sixteen ounce boxing gloves and his opponent on the right is wearing what look like four once MMA gloves or maybe seven ounce sparring gloves. Either way, they are a lot less safe to spar in than boxing gloves.
The two begin by throwing a weak punches from a distance too far away to land. The kid with boxing gloves is moving close and away and pawing his punches low when his opponent counters with a perfect counter left hand that lands right on the button.
The kid goes down immediately and the reaction of friend’s watching was priceless. Fortunately he lands on a soft rug and does not fall into the wall, which was a a real possibility.
As the poor kid lies unconscious on the floor, his awesome friends of course taunt him. One even chimes in with a famous Chris Rock line from the movie Friday: ‘You just got knocked the F*** out’.
As is the rule in boxing, his friends start to count a loud ten count. The boy starts to wake up, but is unable to answer his friends’ ten count. Everyone cheers and declares the other kid the victor.
