Should I feel bad about sparing with a girl?

Posted at: 2015-04-20 
You can never go full-power on a girl, because men are biologically stronger, and hitting them with maximum intensity will do a lot of damage. You shouldn't feel bad for sparring with her. Yes, she's a girl, and people will say that what you did was wrong, but she wanted to spar. It's not like you forcibly challenged her and hurt her.

As a former boxer of nearly 30yrs amateur fighting - I can never condone sparring with a female.

Katie Taylor is an Irish boxing sensation, I have turned down ringside tickets to see her fight..

(Incidentally, Katie Taylors coach trains my brother part time..)

Probably just me... But I have no interest in female boxing what so ever... Not even world champion ones.

In my opinion, when a girl is asking for it or puts herself in a situation like that, then you shouldn't have to hold back. You shouldn't have to hold back because she is a girl when she is pretty advance. But I respect the fact that you feel bad about it. But don't worry about it.

Yes. You should feel bad

I am 15 years old. I'm short. I am about 130 something I think. I box. I have been boxing for about 4 months now and yesterday I had to spar with this black girl who is the same height and around my same weight. She has been boxing for a while and she competes in amateur fights unlike me. Anyways she told me not to hit her hard. I did my best to not hit hard. A few times I think I did. :/ I am not the type of person who likes hitting girls. Also she did make my nose bleed. When I blew my nose some blood came out and I didn't hit her a lot and you could say she won. Should I feel bad though. I do. :/
