Versastyle 06-25-2007, 10:13 PM Well I am.:owned: He is at least 6'7. He has alittle less muscle then that,maybe 30 lbs. He's also a pro soccer player.http://wwe.mytopix.com/img/b/batista-0.jpg I usually take it easy in sparring like I did today,But my jab in my 5'5 frame wont do ****.:lol1:
Amir K Shareef 06-25-2007, 10:14 PM wow batista
BrooklynBomber 06-25-2007, 10:16 PM With my measley 5.8 the most I can do is outbox his testicles
Chief Vash 06-25-2007, 10:18 PM Isn't sparring a common courtesy, in which you're supposed to both get a mutual benefit?
If both fighters know this, than there should be no personal injury done that is severe. You don't spar to knock someone out, you do it to practice technique.

1 of hit could be non intentional but still ****in hurt,like a 120lb 18year old boxer jabbing to a 5 year old isnt intentional,but that other person thinks it is.ahaha.But I was just wondering if you guys would.I know it going to be light.

**** I might,I should have recorded the spar from today with a heavyweight.I think I gave him a concussion he said cause he kept repeating and asking the same ****.He also thought I had broke his nose with a straight right.Blood was everywhere.And he fought me inside so I was ripping hooks to the body and he was moaning in pain. And I hurt him 4 times in 3 rounds. He had like 50 lbs on me. I was using mostly speed too.The gym change has changed for the better for me.
that really doesnt seem very fair to me.

why not? he looks muscle bound to me, i'd crouch down and hammer that gut with my right hand. if i could survive the first round i'll bet he runs out of gas
Animal Squabbs 06-26-2007, 12:40 AM well I might be sparring Friday Ahunanya tommorrow, Ill try to record it and bring the video here if I do.
Southpaw16 06-26-2007, 12:51 AM I wouldn't spar somebody who looks like that. It isn't so much the size, but if I see my sparring partner wearing tight leather underwear and he has oiled himself down, I'm not getting with a mile of that guy.

yeah, if he rapes u in the sparring, he might really try to rape u after in the showers
Why is your trainer putting you in with someone ofthis height?
By the way ifyou take 30 pounds of batista he still weighs 280 odd pounds and if you spar someone nearly that weight its a joke, cause it'll be like sparing wlad with out the skill.
Hope you film it and good luck VERSA.
SpeedKillz 06-26-2007, 10:11 AM EEK! post a vid if u can. woud love to see that. good luck dude!:boxing: :boxing:
mickeyb 06-26-2007, 11:25 AM He's a proffesional football (soccer) player and he's that size?? Are you exaggerating? Because i've never seen a football player the size of Batista - he would seem freakishly out of shape and disproportionate.

iv never ever seen anyone of his size playfootball iv only seen ppl that big a the gym lol o n at rugby
KingDosia 06-26-2007, 04:29 PM I'd spar anybody. Every rnd spent in the ring is a learning experience. He's big and athletic, So it would be a challenge. One that I probably need.
Young Legend 06-26-2007, 05:53 PM I wanna spar Batista

All depends if he knows how to box.
KingDosia 06-26-2007, 07:08 PM All depends if he knows how to box.
Even if he did, could you imagine how slow the punches would be with all of that upper body mass? Well maybe not necessarily slow, but telegraphed? Boxing rules I don't think he would be very impressive. Versitile is just impressed with size. As many insecure men are.

Naw buddy,Ive seen him spar.Im not that stupid to just go by looks.
Versastyle 06-26-2007, 10:34 PM But I got out of work to late,so I didnt go. So I probably will tomorrow,and try to record it.
LOLORSKATES 06-26-2007, 10:38 PM **** what the person looks like
as long as they don't have more limbs or an extra eye than me then I'll take em' on.

Yeah easy to say when there not in front of you. Im not afraid or anything,but that dude is huge.I dont see ppl that huge walking around. And he has massive legs too.
Konstantin 06-27-2007, 12:42 AM Versitile is just impressed with size. As many insecure men are.
Or as people who respect the work it takes to get to that. People who arent impressed are just jealous because they are to lazy to get into a decent shape (any shape thats not a circle).

The problem is not the other man's size, the problem is your fear. Once you overcome fear, the rest isn't really all that hard. This is why the Klitschkos have been successful. Their opponents are almost always scared as hell, and just stand there and get hit.
Back when I was still boxing I was almost always the smallest guy in the gym, so I had to learn how to spar with bigger men. As a natural featherweight I have sparred with many a heavyweight, and that is how I learned that size is overrated. All you is learn how to move your head as well as your feet, then you can make it very difficult for these bigger men to hit you. Not only that, the vast majority of heavyweights are slow and very easily counterpunched. Maybe you can't hurt them, but you can still hit them, and let me tell you they don't like it!

I said I wasnt afraid.Its more of amazed. I have never been afraid of anyone,ppl can die just like I can. If they're Terminator then ok.:lol1:

The English language has a lack of useful pronouns, a problem which sometimes impedes communication. If wasn't specifically referring to you, but to readers in general. You won't find one man in a thousand who wouldn't be intimidated by the muscle-boy if they got in the ring with him. But the truth is he is probably even less effective than Shannon Briggs and lacks Brigg's natural firepower.
Versastyle 09-18-2007, 08:43 PM Well I know for a FACT.I have a chin. I sparred that guy today,damn. Everytime he tagged me I went back(not hurt,he was just that powerful). Im weighing about 159lbs right now,he had to be at least 250lbs.I threw alot of bodyshots and he curled up every time I did it.Getting in was easy,but he can fight on the inside also,so I was like.yeah.haha. He was so tall I had to jab to his chest,because if I jabbed to his face it would of exposed my chin.
The way I fight is by crouch,well when I crouch with headgear I cant see ****,so that sucks.
DA1CATAS 09-18-2007, 08:48 PM why not? he looks muscle bound to me, i'd crouch down and hammer that gut with my right hand. if i could survive the first round i'll bet he runs out of gas
I wasn't going to say anything but those were my thoughts exactly.. subtract the runs out of gas part because Vers said he was a Soccer player.
Southpaw16 09-19-2007, 10:09 AM I don't see what is the point in that sparring session. There is no way you are ever going to fight somebody that big and tall, or him fight anybody that short. It is just an extremely awkward sparring session that doesn't simulate a real fight. Just doesn't make sense to me why a coach would put the two of you in the ring together.

I have alot of power so my coach and him saw it alright,because of how I punch.Also alot and movement and speed for him. Something besides power that not alot of heavyweights have. I can also take a shot. For me,he has reach,and it will teach me in an advanced level,to slip in and get inside better,and get hit with someone with real power.Because I doubt someone at the 152 or 154 weight class has power like a 250lb Heavyweight. He's tall so aiming down to hit me would be how he would fight alot of opponents anyway,dude is like 6'7. As for me Im short for my weight class,therefore it would be good to fight someone that is tall so I can get used to jabbing that high.I saw a person thats like 6'0 and they're not as tall as I thought. With him I had to reach up to pop him. It works for me and him alot.For all the things I stated above.
fraidycat 09-19-2007, 08:34 PM A guy with that much muscle is gonna need a LOT of air to keep going once he gets underway. The first 30 seconds of each round, though, you'd be in some degree of jeopardy. I'd turtle up, duck and weave, and run him out of gas, then work the body to keep him tired.
But hell yeah, I'd spar him. Just to say I did. :boxing:
GDiddy26 09-20-2007, 02:54 PM yeah i sparred a guy built like him before and he mike tyson'd my ass
Sinisterevo 09-20-2007, 03:18 PM yeah, a guy that big, if he actually is throwing hard would do major damage to a much smaller guy. If he is a soccer player, his endurance would be high also.
Tysonisgod 09-20-2007, 03:19 PM Hell yes, he will prob be alot slower than u
