how are you feeling?

I got it about 5 hours ago, and so far only feeling a sore shoulder.

The first time around, I only dealt with shoulder soreness. Hoping I don't develop any other symptoms.

Hopefully not, just shrug the pain off.

Any tips for finding the range or any fighters I can watch to understand it better? My trainer holds the pads and doesn't say like "jab jab or 1, 2 3." He says I am supposed to know when by using the jab and reacting but this is like the hardest shi* I've done

That is one of Crawford's specialties, watch him.

Amir Khan needed this like 15 years ago. Maybe his balance and feet to fist sync would be better.

When you're on pads the trainer should be giving you some indication of what to throw. If you just start throwing whatever you want they won't be able to catch it and you're going to land on them for real but maybe I'm misunderstand what your trainer is doing.

Some people don't call the shots out loud, they hold the pad in the position for a certain shot and you throw that shot. Sometimes hold the pad in position for a certain shot and then you throw a 3 shot combo e.g. they hold up their lead hand as if to catch a jab and so you throw a 1,2,3 or they hold up their back hand like for a straight and so you throw a 2, 3, 2 so maybe your coach is thinking in that way

As far as finding range really the key thing is experience, I dont think you can pick it up from watching. I used to spar a low-level pro and I've seen so may times when people (me included ) throw a range-finder and he won't even flinch because he knows you're too far and can't reach him. He just had built up such a good intuition for judging the distance after 20+ years of boxing

What worked most for me is the standard pawing jab. Maybe leave it out there a little bit to try and distract while you slyly edge your feet a little closer. Be careful though, a lot of the time when people throw out a slow pawing jab they bring it back slowly too and something I love doing is following that slow jab back to close distance on them
