I never formally boxed, but I did spar with a buddy really extensively for a good long summer. We cleared some space in the living room (ah the joys of being bachelors), got some gloves on and set some simple rules (no ball shots, no head shots without permission) and punched the tar out of one another, mostly body shots. We'd either free-form dodge and weave trying to hit one another, or we'd take turns using one another as a punching bag by either punching gloved hands, on the back, arms, whatever. We'd stop for a while, lift some dumbbells, smoke a couple cigarettes, and get back up and do it until we couldn't get back up any more. We both lost a ton of weight and felt really good physically. I can't recommend it enough.
