Kell Brook sparring(vid)

Aye defo, was more thinking along other things. He did hell well, stuck to him, so he canna get his shots of. He was farkn sharp in there, jus before he ( Toney ) puts the "euro fighter " line at him he gets a tasty right then left to body , slips then another right. He probably near end of his session in thaa vids,maybe not.

Just was strange that at the time the papers etc here/there was saying he going over to spar Toney. I have to admit i found that a lil strange. Why Toney,i mean. Guess that was the paper's talking.

 

That kind of sparring ruins fighters.. There should be a good mix of technical sparring, endurance sparring and stuff to work on sharpness. Heavy sparring is ok but in the long run it just leads to injuries. IMO of course.

 

It always amazes me that despite all this body sparring the Ingles have still not produced a noted body puncher.

 

yeah thats true

 

You'd think with their hands down by their waist the body would be an obvious and accessible target :hey

I'm not saying you would spar like that every time, jeff. James Toney is a special case to survive that kind of intensity on a daily basis and still have longevity. I would just prefer something a bit more substantial for Brook than comparing each others gloves and tickling the body pad. I can't see how that gets you mentally and physically tough.
