This is real nice. I wonder if Manny Steward had any more footage that we hadn't seen.
They should release all those sparring sessions on DVD. I'd buy them, and they could use that money to help the Kronk.
Mike & Tommy worked together very well, they let each other take the lead and then worked on countering the leads. They stayed middle of the ring working eye hand coordination then Tommy would move off and work on some deception with laterial movement and feints. They both traded very nice counter left hands with jabs and hooks and worked at a nce even pace to be able to actually work on specifics. This was not an "open session" when things can get heavy it was a controlled by them to get some ring timein and work on a few techniques.
I was a little surprised that they held to 3 min rounds with a work out pace I'd thought Manny worked 5 min. rounds for that kind of session. I thought they were longer because there was multiple time keepers in the gym. Usually its one clock and a bell or buzzard and a quick whistle if someones working other than 3 min rounds.
I used to be able to feel the bell coming within about 10 seconds years ago,
thats alot of rounds hahaha!! Ray

I thought Mcclellan got the better of it.
Toney figured him out and did his thing and his skill level wasn't nowhere as finessed as it would be later on. Gman did his thing too though, very explosive.
that sparring match was more intense
the hearns & mccallum sparring had an audience in the background. i get the sense they were just putting on a show more than sparring for training. either way its always great (rare) when you get see footage two guys like hearn and mccallum against each other
Awesome stuff seeing these guys in top form. Although just sparring, I kept waiting for one of them to open up and explode. I kept watching Tommy's right hand in anticipation.
i felt same way watching tommy.
Look at the way they are going at it, This is why some of this guys have a lot of problems with speeches this days, They fight hard and even spar harder.
probably true. i mean all four of these guys can punch
greeenn!!!!!
thanks
