    Well considering we didnt have the head gear, i caught him with a monster uppercut. And he took it like nothing, im pretty heavy handed and but he walked throught it and smiled. I usually at least get a reaction from the dance partner. But kinda like cotto/margarito, the mofo walked through everything. Thats kinda when you know its not going to end good.:patsch

    So i learned that, that dude not only hit like a ton of bricks, but took a good punch. Maybe i just didnt have enough to keep him off of me. After the match, he told me i had good power though. Maybe the mofo was being nice.:huh

    Sparred a few mid-level guys. Learned how good you have to be to even have a winning record, and realized I wasn't good enough for it myself.

    Where do think you fell short, a47? Would more training have made a difference?

    Had the chance to spar with Carl Froch at Gedling once when I was 14 - even him, a Pro fighter who I think is the most overrated, was good lol

    The fitness aspect of Pro boxing overwhelmed me

    Yeah, just a couple of pros.

    I wouldn't say that sparring a pro is some godly experience...but I haven't done it a million times either.
