Mayweather vs Spadafora: History Behind The Sparring Session By Jesse Reid (Audio)

wow this was way worse than getting K.O'd twice by bums and losing to a shot erik morales and getting a gift draw against marquez!

i know its sparring and floyd's not in the best of shape, but this is elite level infighting from both guys....... fun stuff. there's nothing embarrassing about this for floyd, so he got it handed to him for a couple rounds sparring from a dude in better shape than his that has a very difficult style? so fn what. how many rounds has floyd sparred in his life? people spewing that garbage don't know shi t about styles or spaddy, who was never beaten (beaten up by dorin when he uncharastically fought the wrong fight)..

that was 10 years ago where is Spadafora now ah??

big fan of both their styles back then. floyd was a much better fighter to me at lw than ww. MUCH BETTER

WOW this sparring session is far more embarrassing than having your eyes crossed via a body shot from a bum on a basketball court in a third world country. LMAO Reid hates the Mayweathers anyway, his word holds about as much weight as Rogers views on Roach and Roach of Roger. None of these people have any credibility at this point anymore, all have agendas. My only agenda is seeing the fight. The tests need to be taken, the contracts need to be signed and this needs to end in the ring period.

you know i heard and read about this and i remember people saying that because of this video, mayweather wouldnt be any match for someone like Judah. Good to know that this video, as old as it is, somehow still holds weight, and a new set of dikkriders is now using it in their arsenal of arguments.

These videos show that Floyd is no match for Pacquiao and Sergio.

ok, so what happens? cant see the vid http://www.fighthype.com/pages/content9983.html WHAT REALLY HAPPENED DURING THE MAYWEATHER-SPADAFORA SPARRING SESSION? By Danny Howard | May 24, 2011 If you didn't catch the latest episode of FightHype Radio, you missed special guest Jesse Reid, world-class trainer of undefeated welterweight Paul Spadafora, who stopped by the show to set the record straight regarding a rumored clash with undefeated pound-for-pound champion Floyd Mayweather. For those that didn't know, there's an infamous video on YouTube depicting Spadafora seemingly getting the better of Mayweather during a sparring session over ten years ago. According to Reid, Spadafora taught him a lesson that he would never forget that day, making it the last time that anyone would ever be allowed to film Mayweather while sparring. At that time, although both fighters were champions, very few would have believed that the bigger Spadafora would be able to handle the skill, speed and pedigree of Mayweather, a former Olympic medalist. Reid, however, was confident in his fighter, so much so that it was his decision to film the sparring session for proof of his own fighters abilities. Check out the following excerpt from last week's show to see how Reid recalled that day. You'll be surprised at what he had to say. "We made the match and I told them, 'Listen, it's not going to be 3 rounds, it's gotta to be 6 rounds, and if he tries to pull out of the 6 rounds, I'm going to tell everybody. In fact, I think the whole town will be there to see what a coward he is.' Well naturally, his dad says, 'We're going to knock him out in one round,' and they were doing a lot of bragging; all of them hang on people around him were all bragging and this and that. So I sat Paul down that night and I says, 'How do you really feel about this Paul? Because we're going in there tomorrow morning. This is going to be a great thing. Some day, this can make you a lot of money because I know you can beat this guy. And I understand the Mayweathers and I know their style.' Paul says, 'Jesse, all that bragging they did, let's do it!' And I said, 'Okay, we'll go there and we'll put it on.' Except I said, 'I'm going to tape this because I know you're going to do well.' So I did and that's why Mayweather don't let anybody tape him anymore. That's why he's in top shape for every fight. I think we taught him a good lesson because we really did handle him. I mean, the first two rounds were you take one, or I'll take the other, but after that, Paul just handled him like he owned him. And he was inside with him, inside close, talking to Mayweather because he was doing so much bragging, he says, 'Hey, that nose is bleeding and that eye looks like it's swelling up,' and he kept cracking him. Finally, the fourth round, Mayweather comes to me and asks me if he could get out of the ring because he says he's tired. I says, 'You ain't getting out of the ring. You're getting your ass kicked today to teach you for all the big mouth you had, and your father.' So after it was all over, he's laying on the ground for 20 minutes, completely exhausted, and I'm taping it and I sent this tape to Lou DiBella, and Lou DiBella was in shock." - Jesse Reid on the Mayweather-Spadafora sparring session (5/18/11)

Paul Spadafora is nobody now and he blew his own career with his ****. Well he's still an undefeated fighter. At the very least I think he's about the right level for a tune-up fight if Mayweather decides to return to the ring.

Reid attempting to cash in. Well in the full interview Reid talks about a number of other subjects too. This is just a clip where he focuses on the Mayweather/Spadafora history, directly answering the questions that the interviewers pose.

Paul Spadafora is nobody now and he blew his own career with his ****.
