I don't give much credit to sparring victories, unless it's Valero, than I cream all over myself. Feel free to count that against me.

I don't put that much stock into winning rounds in sparring, though.

You know what would happen though if you matched them up in real live games under the lights in a best of 7? The starters would win by an average of 40 and sweep the series.
I've seen better sparring sessions in the gym, than televised fights on HBO before.

LOL Pac didn't get out of first gear against Mayfield in that one round of sparring. He was playing with his food before eating it later.

most of the time they dont even put it on em, young bloods just go all out while the other guy is holding back so it looks like they are in control. in reality they arent in control at all.
