DeGale Heads To Vegas To Spar With Floyd Mayweather Jr.

[big_james10]

Yeah... Floyd has a history of sparring with unconventional partners.


Daniel Edouard, Kofi Jantuah, etc. Remember, PBF used Baldomir as the main partner for Hatton. Baldo is a big, slow guy. Who can't emulate Ricky's footwork.

Dude, who is the girl in your Avatar? She doesn't look familiar.

Floyd just likes to spar with people bigger than him and when he sees people really admire him, he will invite them to camp.

Olympic Gold Medalist, yeah we're there but as a rookie in pro, i am just wondering what DeGale could bring to the table in PBF training? Can he emulate JMM style? he have that speed? or will just serves as PBF punching bag?

[Pretty_Hitman]

This will be good for DeGale

Well, for one, we never get to see floyd spar, they are very huge on that. Another thing is his fight preperation is often always kept underwraps but ill say this. Floyd likely spars for the right reasons, to work on things that hes missing. Not so he can fight someone who can mimick who his opponent is. I think he uses those people to emulate a certain gameplan, if a particular fighter has a punch or a good hook, or another fight has a certain stance. I think thats when he rotates the sparring partners to emulate the different strengths all at one time.

Floyd just staying sharp and fighting a wide range of boxers for the sake of experience I guess

When are the Olympians fighting again? It's a damn shame the way Warren and Sky are bleeding them dry and won't allow them to progress at a decent rate

Great for DeGale. Nice of Floyd to give the Brit a rare experience, although i see it as no help in preperation for Marquez.

He will bring strength and punches from weird angles , Floyd trains like a real champion by thinking outside of the box mixing things up he is ready for anything and very sharp in his fights because he trains for the unexpected , the mans a boxing genius .

that's because she's not a model. She's too wretched.
