    i watched Booth gets owned by a young lad who kept fit by hitting the bags in shinfield's gym. A lad with no boxing experience other than sparring.

    but apparently he really does not spar very well until the big gloves and head gear are off and its a proper fight, then as we all know, its a diffrent kettel of fish.

    Sparring is sparring it's that simple, I'll go back up to cruiser after I've won all I possibly can at light heavy..

    No bother Tony you will always get a few wankers out there who try to belittle your accomplishments

    I've been impressed with Garcia but hes still very young and needs to mature (mentally)

    Your right mate, Sometimes you get people having a pop but I don't mind it to be fair..;)

    I hope Luis does well and settles down..:good
     
  5. Unfortunately I don't wish Luis Garcia well at all, I just can't.

    It'll be the same as if there's ever a boxer called Steven Gerrard, or Sean Dundee.

    He does look like a cardboard cut-out in that picture :lol: Must have taken a beating.

    As for the sparring, Garcia had a lot of volume and seemed very strong on the front foot but Bellew landed the better shots.
