Hey all, i am coming up to my first boxing match, i am a bit worried as i get the feeling it may turn into a bit of a brawl, lol.
In class it is always light contact sparring which i am quite good at (if i may say so myself

) for how long i have been doing it, however i am not used to full-contact and want to make sure i have done a bit before stepping in the ring.
Basically, i was wondering if it is a good idea to spar with some of my friends who have limited experience in boxing/MA, or will it just turn into a battle of ego??
or even just let them throw the punches full power and me cover and get used to taking as little damage as possible.
opinions??
Thanx very much
