I saw the thread title and immediately thought that this had nothing to do with anything these two do in the ring. Little is just an Essex Dave Allen that's taken the harder fights and eaten more food, stopping Babic he certainly isn't.
Little is one of the worst boxers I've ever seen on a TV card, if you back him you are burning money.
Little has no punch resistance at all when facing anyone with a punch. Babic can bang. This is not lasting longer than 4 rounds on a bad day for Babic.
Don't know about sparring, but I know Saunders beat him in a square go. He said it went on or ten minutes, and happened after Tom challenged him. They obviously made up after it.
"I'll tell you a story about Tom Little, a big fella who is now a good friend of mine, but we became friends after we had a fight. "It was something stupid, I was 16 or 17 and he was from around my end. "We had an argument, he's a heavyweight, a big boy, 6 foot 6 and 18 at the time. And this was one time where if I could have talked myself out of it I would have. "We were on the site and we just had it. There was an argument and it escalated into a little challenge to me and there were too many people there to turn it down. "We had our shirts off and we had a fight for 10 minutes. But what a good fight and I beat him. It was in a field, bare-knuckle and we shook hands afterwards and became friends, very good friends."
