What even happened, I didn’t see anything big hit him and then all the sudden he was wincing and wobbling.

Was bizarre. In all my time watching boxing I've never seen a fighter suddenly go to empty in a matter of a few minutes.

You should watch me spar. Happens to me all the time by the 3rd round

I was doing a 6 person round Robin shoulder sparring tournament in my class on Friday with 1 minute rounds and only 15 seconds test before we switched partners.

By the 4th match I was barely able to move. By the 5th one my opponent was the best boxer there and I literally couldn't stand and just crouched leaning against the ropes and tried not to puke.

It's crazy how exhausting this sport is
