Agreed. I have sparred with several guys that do exactly what you said. They let their ego get in the way of their training and they get very sloppy. Most of the time if they are not as good at the stand up game they tend to start "crashing in" on you and end up taking alot of shots in the process. Or they go to the other end of the spectrum where they throw every punch like they are wanting to take your head off. One of my instructors had a cool way of dealing with guys that out weigh you, are faster than you, stronger than you or that always go at 100% trying to knock you out. If we were boxing/kickboxing or grappling and one guy was being way to aggressive he would have the guy drop and do 20 push ups... then start back again. If he was still to aggressive he would have drop and do 20 more push ups as well as do 20 squats or lunges and so on until he felt the play ground was level.
