    I'm sure this has been a heavily covered subject but I want ro revisit the famous sparring session between Spadafora and Mayweather. After this sparring session, Mayweather never wanted to be embarrassed again and always stayed in tip top shape. I always believed if it wasn't for that taped session between the two, Mayweather would've ended up learning a valuable lesson in discipline in a real fight instead of a sparring session. Just my opinion.

    It was just sparring. In an actual prize fight Mayweather would have beat Spaddy.

    Whatever happened to Spadafora? I remember him winning a title and making a defense and then he disappeared.

    Legal trouble is the short of it.
