Chris has always been a go-hard when we're sparring. He generally tries to decapitate me after getting annoyed with my reach. I think I've mentioned him before, he's the guy who I've dropped with 2s to the body after he tried to murderize me (with MMA gloves on no less)
Anyways, the round starts, I keep pecking him with the jab, he tries to walk me down but I'm sticking him and he's not getting inside. I feint a jab and he tries to rush in off it and I walk him into an uppercut. Nothing on it, just enough to lift his chin, but he walked into it/didn't see it coming so he backs off and says "Man why don't you ease off a bit this is sparring". I apologize and go back to just touching him with straight punches while he plods along and whiffs. He gets frustrated and says something similar again, round ends, he goes and says something to one of the other guys and eyeballs me until it's time for the a partner switch.
He's usually a decent guy but man, show some balls, here. I should have logged it as technical sparring because it was probably 50-60% if that... if he can't handle that then he's got problems on the horizon. I mean some of the guys were treating it as a glorified bit of shadowboxing, circling and pawing with jabs and basically taking turns punching. I'm not a power-puncher or anything, not even CLOSE, and I was going VERY light. Nobody else complained.
