froch using ajisafe as preparation for bute is worse then khan using maxwell!

Ajisafe really isn't that bad. Who else of any quality is available in the UK to provide an awkward southpaw look and of like height to Bute and in the same weight range? :think

His losses aren't atrociously shameful and he did drop Bomber..

 

There really isn't anybody IMO who is any closer to Bute over here. All you really need is a decent approximation. I think some people get carried away with the idea that sparring is about replicating somebody's style perfectly. If the intensity is good, and the guy is in the ballpark of his size/style, then you'll get good work out of it. Most of the strategy will be done looking at video footage of the Bute, not by sparring against his exact clone.

I thought the criticism of Khan having Maxwell was a bit off the mark. People started creaming when he was sparring Pacquiao before the Maidana fight, and look what good it did him. Sparring is sparring. Fighting is fighting.

 

Sparring is just that. It's not a fight. People make a big thing of Pacquiao sparring Khan and Linares but most of the time he spars guys like David Rodela.

 

:good

 

If I'm not mistaken, Carl also gave Bob very high praise for the work he's been putting in and saying it's gotten him whipped into great nick.

 

froch comes across as a stingy ****, wouldnt be suprised if he is using the cheapest sparring possible.

 

Yes, stingy ****, that's why he chose to marry a piece of premium as who seems well accustomed to the good life and incredibly high maintenance. (not going to go as far as calling her a gold digger, since she rakes in her own considerable dough and also seems to be a genuine fan of his - taking it to obnoxious levels, even)

 

Very true.

 

Remember Froch was saying he wanted to use James Degale though, Degale or his camp kept making excuses.

 

Don't know that he's gone all "Tin Man in need of his oil can"
since Christmastime. :think

 

You mean like Khan using journeymen as sparring partners :-(

How does Froch 'Come across stingy'?

 

The only person I can think of is Degale, but he's scared to spar Froch :yep

 

i remember he caught the bus home after one of his fight on those 360 episodes,

 

that and the fact he said he would rather do the work himself on the houses he owns then hire a professional.

 

:deal Rodela is a regular sparring partner of Pacman too
