Have you ever tried sparring for 10 minutes straight?.

In my teens a few of us used to spar for an hour non stop

Yes. It was torture.

Sparring for 60 Minutes non-stop, you cant have been going very hard after around 15 minutes, as a teenaged amateur Boxer will only fight at maximum three x two minute rounds with two x one minute breaks.

A Title holder Professional Boxer will only fight a maximum of 36 minutes.

are you sure, sparring for 60 minutes?.

Positive mate we were fit as butchers dogs and never out of the gym, also a couple of us were key holders and wasn't unusual to find us going at it past midnight some nights, bear in mind we were young but experienced amateur boxers that lived for the sport ah to be 19 again

Oh and by the way we were seniors so boxed 3x3 minute rounds

Yes all the time when I was younger carry on until you was knackered.

sometimes we just spar a twenty minute round to mix it up! theres not alot that gets you fitter for boxing than actually boxing

We would do half hour jab only sparring, hard work but repetition is the key, could've done longer but cos we were young we got bored

I've never tried that, it sounds like fun.
