    This guy is just a bum with a big mouth. He can’t fight. That’s WHY Tank’s team chose him. Easy cherry pick win for little Tank. He likes these easy bum opponents.

    Same thing that happened to Clenelo will eventually happen to Tank.

    Considering one guy is wearing a “48-0” shirt I would say so.

    It gets rough in sparring sometimes. No big deal.

    That much is obvious.

    You asked;
    My point was guys spar hard and rough to keep accustomed to hard, rough situations, and they don't stop conditioning themselves and learning just because they got so far.


    Take Kessler, who floundered when Andre Ward spoiled his boxing. Hell, take Ward himself, who had his hands full all night dealing with the dark arts of Sakio Bika.


    Punches don't land with "full force", no. Because you're wearing sixteen ounces, not because you never punch with full authority.


    Did the Mathew Fouts guy tell you this? I ask, because I know you're not basing it on any sustained experience. You posted this two years ago;

    So how do you think guys get ready to go through the things they're going to go through in a three-round amateur bout, let alone a pro fight? Running some miles, jumping some rope and gingerly practicing their fundamentals while refraining from any contact more ferocious than a polite tap? Earlier this week, I saw a really talented kid (as in teenager) sparring with two black eyes sustained in a session the previous week; he was sparring an older, experienced, bigger guy who pulled his punches until the last thirty seconds then hauled off with a big uppercut to the solar plexus (which he'd been prompted to do) that sent the kid down, coach started a count to ten while all the guys crowded around the apron yelling encouragement for him to get up, he got up at four (a bit too quick) and then had to survive the last twenty seconds or so. Now he knows what that's like. I've still got the last vestiges of a big knot under the skin just above my pelvic crest from a bodyshot (or bodyshots) I took on the 9th of this month, almost three weeks later. Bloody noses are a complete non-event in the gym. In order to go through it, you have to go through it. That's any boxing gym worth crap.

    You speak so wrong-headedly/counterintuitively and yet so authoritatively about something you have no experience of. The chutzpah is impressive, at least.

    I would be shocked if Rolly doesn’t get knocked out in this fight. He’s not even as good as Mayorga. Just a slightly above average wild man with a big mouth.

    Sparring like an idiot in a bar is why Rolly got beat, he should have been practising his jab, the guy has crap fundamentals.

    Are you seriously comparing this kind of stuff to the way that idiot Rolly was sparring?

    No, I’m just saying that Loma and Usyk drop or knock out their sparring partners as well, they can play it rough also.

    Sparring video you posted is not a regular sparring, it’s Loma playing tag with someone that’s clearly not on his level.

    Yeah but I fail to see what that has to do with your critique.
