Sparring is a great mental challenge. You gotta be quick on your feet, as well as try to out-think your opponent. Begged for mercy in this bout, and was outboxed by a pro; my opponent was more patient than I. My opponent teased, gave little up, and in the end, got the prize. No more begging, and I'm not about to throw in the towel.

(This is a culmination of some very funny stuff from this week; I was laughing so hard I couldn't get a straight picture. The bruise is all too real, but located in a place that won't be shown on the hallowed pages of Pbase. My self-pride was the only thing injured during this match.)
