sure they do
hop in there with a HW if you weigh 130 lbs and see what your defense looks like
see how easy it is to land
see how easy it is to let your hands go and get your offense off.
they're sparring. love will get better if he does this regularly. that is the idea. get better, get in shape for your fight. be ready for one night of hard work against your opponent in your pro fight. this is just sparring.
sillakh is going to beat your ass if you're love in that situation. as long as you arent taking a ton of punishment these sorts of sparring sessions are the best thing for him. just think about how easy it's going to be when he's in there with a guy of his size if he's used to fighting a huge guy with a huge reach like sillakh, with a serious amateur pedigree and great boxing skills?
it's good for sillakh, too. he just got his but whipped by pirate grachev. he's getting plenty of confidence whipping up on a solid boxer like love. it's not like he's beating / knocking out a name opponent in a pro fight, but he's still whipping up on that azz in front of a gym full of people. and he's using his skills to do it and not merely imposing his size, even if he is outright bigger and getting an advantage from it.Last edited by New England; 08-11-2012, 02:43 PM.

agree 100%
they wont show they faces, but i got into it about sillakh's chin with some ruskies before he was stopped by grachev. it'l probably keep him from achieving anything like what he achieved in the amateurs, and what his pure physical talent and boxing skill might have allowed him to do. if they didn't take hard punches to the chin in pro boxing then he'd be the best prospect on the planet...
he was stopped in some of his big amateur fights. he also just didn't look to be taking the punches well against despaigne. he withstood them, but something about the way he looked on an HD screen where i could see every detail made it look like they were effecting him.

If Floyd spars Froch, he might get beat up in the end but you'd be able to see his boxing ability.
I'm just saying I don't see much from Love right now but like you said, he's still a work in progress.

I doubt you would wanna do much after feeling that.
