Every time 20-year-old amateur boxer Andrew Tabiti spars with professional MMA fighters, his confidence grows.

The same can't always be said of the professionals.

As a boxing student under Las Vegas-based trainer Gil Martinez, Tabiti has the special privilege of occasional sparring sessions with fighters such as UFC lightweights Gray Maynard and Tyson Griffin.

In most cases, Tabiti is a great partner because he gives the pros a challenge and pushes them to get better. When a certain pro has a fight coming up, however, Martinez usually keeps Tabiti away.

"When some of those guys are getting ready for a fight, I don't like to throw Andrew in there because I like their confidence to be high," said Martinez, who works as the striking coach at the Xtreme Couture gym.

"You get a kid that's 20 years old with 11 amateur fights and he's putting his hands on you? It's not the best thing for your ego."

Tabiti (16-2) showed off his boxing potential in the ring earlier this month, advancing all the way to the semifinals of the National Golden Gloves tournament in the 201-pound division before dropping a decision to eventual winner Steve Geffrard.

Hey
I've been climbing in an indoor gym for about 5 months now, and when I was in the sport shop today, I saw some rock climbing gloves. I was wondering what they are for, and why people use them? Also, would it be reccomended for me to get some? I belay and climb. Thanks for any advice.

A: The only time I have ever seen gloves used was for rappelling or belaying, but this is really going out of use. I have NEVER ONCE seen anyone use gloves at any outdoor climbing locations (except for in the winter in alpine areas when gloves were necessary for other reasons). Some people like gloves for rappelling and belaying because they can protect you from rope burn, but most experienced climbers I have talked to do not like them. You should...
