He said this during the pre-fight for angulo-kirkland.What would roy jones jr have to gain from sparring with a guy like 40 pounds smaller.Come on roy.And no way was he hitting him as he can.What do you guys think of this?
Sparring smaller opponants has been known to improve your speed and reflexes, but Angulo is not much of a quick puncher.
It is just sparring. Guys spar with all types of sizes. Smaller guys are busier, faster, and have smaller windows forcing you to be a bit sharper. A smaller guy learns how to get past the jab and punch up effectively. It helps them deal with the anomalies like Williams. If a bigger Boxer holds back his power? It can be very helpful for both guys.
Wlad spars with Andy Lee... Kirkland apparently sparred with Yuniesky Gonzalez, some cuban cruiser/heavy... umm... Darchinyan usually spars big guys... not a big deal.... Unless its solis and canelo
