    Shame they took it off. Silva looked pretty good and it seemed to me he was going easy on the guy.

    The guy he sparred was most likely a low-level pro. He simply wasnt very good and was absolutely exhausted just minutes into the sparring session.

    Silva clearly got the better of him, however, Silva took some very hard shots and showed quite a few flaws on the inside, on the ropes etc.

    Silva looked about as good as I would expect him to look.

    Silva looks ok but yawn. He has some skill but please, he shouldn't even say Jones' name.

    i was expecting anderson to look a lot better than this, no infighting throws way too many clumsy left straights from the southpaw stance when he is too close to his opponent, the sparring partner gassed after 2 minutes as well, and rjj wants to fight silva, silva would struggle with the top 75 to 100 light hw's going by that display

    I thought that he looked VERY good. The only shots that he really got tagged with where the ones that he obviously didn't even bother to avoid. He was simply toying with that guy.

    eh no he got caught in transition when switching stance as he did too often at the wrong times

    I wouldn't expect him to look like Floyd Mayweather in there sparring. The man is not a pure boxer. He looked very good to me though. Given a great training camp with Roach, I bet he could do very good things.
