Well i hear a lot of different things like fighters that hardly spar, especially uk fighters, while say the mayweather gym have some all out sessions, i mean thay resembles a few gyms ive been to as an amatuer but why do uk fighters shy away from sparring? Is it the risk of injury, i mean i always thought sparring was the best way to improve given a decent partner

Who knows, people care too much about appearances, I mean even Floyd used to never show any recording during sparring after that Paul spadafora incident till recently

The chief reason I believe that he shows us his sparring sessions, is because the guys that he's been sparring with as of late, are pretty much friends with him. |

Now that we've seen Pacquiao struggle against a 38 year old LW and have a hard time hitting that big head of Bradley, I think it's safe to say that he aint beatin' Floyd nowadays either. As for him and the Klitz bros...I laughed my ass off when I read that part of your post! That would be funny to see. It would somewhat remind me of Benavidez Jr. fighting that small guy on the Pac/Marquez III preliminaries. Dude had about a 6 inch height advantage and a 9 inch arm length advantage...dude was a lilliputian. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
