    But I'm not posting the video of it so don't ask.

    I was aksed not to post the video so i will post a couple of screenshots.

    ****, i had some of this footage about 3 years ago.

    Holy got the better of this round imo.

    Whats the point in posting screenshots of a sparring session but just showing them standing with each other, nothing happening or being thrown? Why have you been asked not to post the video??

    :patsch
    Because thiswas Holy's sparring for his firts fight with Tyson.

    They brought in Tua to mimic Tyson and Tua was in his prime and an absolute beast.

    That's why it is famous, fool. :patsch

    The picture quality is poor so screen shot's of action are too smeared.

    The guy i got this from has worked with team Holyfield in the past.

    If he ask's for the video not to be posted then i don't even question it.

    I posted screen shot's arse wipe to prove that Anut was telling the truth.

    I got this footage form a guy who has worked with team holyfield.

    Would you go against the wishes of someone who has worked with Team holyfield? :-(

    I'm doign you a favour by posting the screenshots.

    Now **** off! :hi:

    I understand your position, and appreciate you showing us your pics. Me and a couple others know for a fact that high profile folks from boxing come to ESB (wouldn't you, if you were a big time pro?), and by being courteous to all fighters and them, I have gotten to know a few. But, I will take to my grave who they are.:yep

    So, thanks for doing what you could.:good

    Always looking at Tua, IMO, we as boxing fans are lucky the NFL didn't get him first. lol. Look at the size of him, esp. his legs. He'd be hell for anybody in the trenches.

    nobody cares about sparring videos they mean nothing. Tua was not even Holyfields best sparring partner for the first Tyson fight Bell gave him the best sparring Tua did absolutely nothing for Holyfield.

    Tua's heavy hands were certainly evident in the footage. Remember there was barely any mention of this sparring before the fight. All the talk was how Holyfield struggled with Gary Bell.
