the point is to tune up your skills and get a easy win because your next fight is going to be for real. A tune up is basically Paid for public sparring session/
People Saying Mayweather needs to fight berto as a tune up is a joke.
People Saying Mayweather needs to fight JMM as a tune up is a joke.
Those fights are not tune ups period.
A tune up is Margarito vs. Golden Johnson
A tune up is Cotto vs. Jennings
A tune up is Cotto vs. Gomez
A tune up De la hoya vs. Forbes
A tune up is Pavlik v. Serigo Mora
A tune up is not Fighting the #2 P4P fighter in the sport.
A tune up is not fighting The WBC Welterweight Champion of the world.
I swear you guys standards for Mayweather is crazy....
His tune up should be anybody who resembles his next opponent. period.
If he is fighting a southpaw next his tune up should be a southpaw.
If he is fighting a Orthodox fighter next then his tune up should be a Orthodox fighter.
For example if Mayweather plans on Fighting Pacquaio in November or December... His Tune should not be JMM because Pacquaio and JMM are 2 completely different fighters.. a perfect tune up for pacquaio would be a fighter like Yodsanan who is Asain southpaw just like Pacquaio.
A tune up in boxing is the same thing as a scrimmage in football..but the only different is in the tune up we keep score.
