How good was Paul Spadafora and his trainer?

He is maybe the only guy doing instructional videos on YouTube that I pay attention to, because he knows what he is talking about. That video there is quality stuff.

 

Agree..I follow his channel. Very nice work

 

Spaddy was nothing more than decent. His crowning achievement and best performance was his title winning shut out win over Pito Cardona. Other than that, he was one of the most protected champions of all time. He and his camp had zero interest in mixing it up with guys like Floyd, Corrales, Castillo, Casamayor, ect.

He'd have been thrashed by any of those above guys.

And for what it's worth, he's also a scumbag of a human being.

 

He shot his baby momma right ?

 

I remember that he sparred with Mayweather and made a big deal about it ...and Mayweather vowed to break his nose

Pia Zardona was a pretty good fighter and song and dance person but that's a real good win. Spadafora come from the Italo-Latin words for spade and flower and if you call a spade a flower, the dude is a rose by any other name.

 

Reid trained him too.

 

Spada v Dorin was a heck of a fight. Spada could fight

 

I think they were lining him up for big fights at 140 before he derailed his own career.

 

A little known fact...before undergoing gender reassignment surgery, the fighter Pia Zardona was known as Pia Zadora and was married to a Las Vegas casino tycoon.

 

This is why they say never stop reaching for your dreams. If you rich enough, you can do most anything.

 

I once saw Pia Zadora perform topless. When I heard she not only made the change, but won a world title. Well, I was overwhelmed.
