Famous sparring beatdowns

Has anyone else heard of the J Toney - Oleg Taktarov incident?

 

Who's Oleg Taktarov???

How about Augustus/Ebo Elder? Elder's old man taunting Augustus, and Augustus pummeling his kid.

 

Ebo's old man Greg was a complete jerk. I remember going to a gym in Gyn and watching Ebo beat up on some nobody and Greg was screaming for murder.............A month later Ebo was at the gym again sporting two black eyes and bruised up ribs (After sparring Augustus). Ebo claimed he was in a car accident! Huh

 

I've seen my man Lawrence Clay-Bey in some very good sessions with Hasim Rachman, especially right before Rock fought Holyfield. I wouldnt say anyone got "beat down" but the work was very good, especially for two such big guys...

 

I gotta hear the whole story on that one.

 

I read about it couple of years ago in some MMA forum

 

Can anyone confirm this?

 

Can U post a source.

 

Someone posted somewhere that Kali Meehan knocked Haye out 3 times during sparring. (Not just knock downs, but actually ****ed him up)

I have been trying to verify this, anyone know anything?

 

Good info. There was no reason for him to be taunting Augustus during the session. Emanuel was extremely disappointed by the lack of respect shown and took it out on Ebo. Whoops.

 

Oleg Taktarov was a Russian MMA fighter from back in the day. The Russian Bear I think they called him. He was a decent fighter back then but not much of a striker

 

Didn't John Ruiz lay Lennox Lewis out with one punch?

:think

 

:shock:

 

I heard Kali Meehan roughed up David Haye in sparring, anyone can verify this?

 

Great thread :good
