Number 1, I'm a fan of Teofimo so this isn't a hater thread.
Number 2, I'm telling you right now that a lot of the time sparring matters. Any boxers that respond to this and say it doesn't you know you been on the bad end of a lot of sessions and you know it so don't try and fluff it up. The only time it doesn't matter is when it's in your own gym with your gym mates. When you spar guys outside of your gym, you raise the banner and it's war, always war.
I've gone with pro's and champs to other gyms where they're getting paid and us amatuers are sparring too. You lose at another gym, it's a big fcuking deal. So yes, sparring ALWAYS MATTERS OUTSIDE OF YOUR GYM. The only people that say it doesn't matter in the pro's are fighters that don't want their value or stock hurt. When you get stopped or knocked in another gym or against a guy from another gym, thats a VERY BIG DEAL. With that said --->
Teofimo been stopped a lot in sparring.

These sessions were about 2 years ago, not 8 as some might say. Benevidez is quoted in the below video.
The clip of Teofimo getting dropped in this video is not Jose Valenzuela, its Figueroa Bocachica
Jose Valenzuela gives details. He said it happened directly before he turned pro which was late 2018.
Hearing that Rolly and Barrios also stopped Teofimo in sparring too. I saw a session with Teo and Rolly and Rolly was getting worked so I don't know how true that is. There is a Tank sparring session where at the end of the clip it looks like Teo is about to get knocked out. He gets really rocked then the video cuts out and I've seen that video a lot.
Haney talking about how he never been stopped or quit in sparring and how he tuned up Teofimo and called them out on lies about the sesh.
I like Teo, but getting hurt a lot in sparring says a lot to me. Curious to see how his career path is directed. He's talking a big game, but we'll see what happens.
