The key is balance. You can have both. Mostly light sparring but then some harder sparring to “simulate” a real fight.

Sparring is fixing ur fundamentals, not fighting like ur in a actual boxing match.

A lot of fighters left their careers in the gym from hard sparring 2 times a week.

I agree with this, but also there .ist be periods of hard sparring even if for small periods of time.

Boxers used to have 200 fights in their career makes no sense to hard spar you’ll be in a ring with someone that wants to take your head off that month same thing with Muay Thai guys very active. But it’s hard to claim you won’t get rusty as a ufc fighter fighting 2 times a year

Sparring is a simulation. If you're going hard, you aren't sparring. You're just fighting.

Traning is for before the fight, no need to hurt people. Form, conditioning, speed, accuracy. These are more important.

I could train at 57 but too many people at the gym just want to win in the room. No thanks.

Having sparred at Kronk in the 90's, I can honestly say they go way too hard and have too many wars in the gym.

I remember when Sergio Martinez told us how much he sparred, compared to the average he only sparred 66 rounds in a full camp. It was designed to see how conditioning was at the beginning of camp and start formulating a plan, middle of the camp sparring becomes a bit more serious. At this point its working on small issues and tweaking the style and plan and the end sparring takes on executing the plan and making and perfecting the adjustments.

That’s why I tell people to stay away from those mega mcdojo type of gyms or franchised gyms they’re almost always bs and even some reputable gyms are also since some will prioritize their main fighters if you want a good gym you gotta find a lowkey one that has reputable coaches
