    Really, we're bringing up sparring with big gloves, headgear and guys going 75% now?

    Ironically that was the name of the third rate American DeGale beat :lol:

    Dirrell gets schooled, it will be some Lomachenko-Russell skills based domination.

    the phrase you're looking for is "nobody except". it'd be funny watching any of the american supermiddles trying to get up from that shot groves landed.

    Mate I wouldn't waste your time. It was the same nonsense when Brook was fighting Porter.

    I think Degales a good fighter. Imo he beat Groves. What I would say is he's more of a hit and move boxer rather than stand in the hole and trade. Which for some reason gets its criticism. I think he beats AD.

    How do you know they were only going at it at 75%? It's not uncommon for fighters to have absolute wars in the gym. Some fighters go at it at 76%, 86%, or even 96% and higher.

    Do Andre Dirrell and J'Leon Love look like they're only going at it at 75% here?

    Do you think Dirrell and Groves were only going at it 75% when Groves pounded the living dog **** out of him when they sparred?

    Ward is way more aggressive and competitive natured than pansy-hearted Dirrell who looks like he's about to burst into floods of tears everytime adversity comes knocking on his front door. Ward always goes hard in sparring.

    And Ward can thank the Lord that Gonzalez was only wearing big gloves, we've all seen what Kenny ''The Krusher'' Kost did to him when they were wearing smaller ones. Kost has got a pitifully low KO percentage (33%), whereas Gonzalez's is 47%.
