To those familiar with Spadafora...

if i remember right he was considered lightly tested vs Manfredy won a close won then not much longer went to jail

since then hasnt done much

he is a what could of been but probably wouldnt have been if he did fight the elites

 

He was a slick fighter who fought out of the southpaw stance was at his best fighting at mid range using angles to make you miss and then counter with his own shots specially the straight left, had good speed and accuracy and was a decent bodypuncher also had a very good jab. His weaknesses i would say he was a bit flat footed,lack of punching power and had a tendency to fight at close quarters when he didnt have to,Chin was sturdy but could be hurt.

Never thought of him as being elite but had the style to give many fighters hell , good enough to be a titlist and make some defenses but not a pound for pound type of talent.

 

he had arguable the best jab in the game at his peak, crazy angles, decent but not blazing handspeed.

 

About the same level.

 

I think he had more tools an better skills that malignaggi but you could argue either was better

 

He got shot on his right leg and switched stance due to necessity.

That's why he's a southpaw.

Talented guy, defensively oriented, moderate power.

His undefeated mark is no fluke. He really beat quite a few recognizable names as well.

 

only know him cause he gave floyd hell in sparring. that was good for his career me thinks. was the only footage of floyd sparring at the time. think ill give him a watch tonight.

 

Don't fooled though, Spaddy was nearing the end of his camp and Floyd was just starting his.

 

good fighter but not very exciting and lacked in punching power. he has good technical skills

 

He is like the Eminem of boxing, sort of.

 

I'd argue that he'd of turned out half a step behind Paulie M.

 

hes better than malignaggi. an if he wast drinking during camp he would have went even farther

 

The only bloke with a pulse that Spafadora fought was Angel. That showed his level.
