Practice Practice Practice

Have I mentioned practice? “Sparring is the closest thing to a fight,” Amir says. He spars with many partners, so he can anticipate and practice different techniques. “Sparring is about getting your timing right. It’s about taking shots and knowing what to expect. So it’s the closest thing to a fight.”
