    Gatti was bloodied and stopped
    Sharmba was stopped
    Zab was bloodied
    Baldomir was bloodied
    Hatton was bloodied and stopped

    Do you actually follow the sport?

    These are world-class fighters with cutmen. What do you suppose happens if you have a sparring-level guy with no cutman after 4 rounds?

        i buy it, i think its legit... again, its a sparring partner... not an elite fighter...

        but im not all about him not showing the sparring. Even when he did his first 24/7 i thought it was BS that he doesnt spar on camera... such a double standard, im surprised HBO allows it to be that way

          he busted steve forbes up and steve acted like he was proud of it.
          Some names Floyd has Sparred with this training Camp:

          Mayweather sparred with such fighters as Lamont Peterson, an interim junior welterweight titleholder, and Mark Melligen, a rising prospect from the Philippines.

            You know that Hatton's face opened up in round 3....right? Hatton had a professional cutman working his cut every three minutes. In sparring, you don't get that.

            Sigh.

                  i dont believe ****, when it comes to the sparring partner saying

                  "man hes a beast, *wipes off an over amount of blood*, hes the best! hes a beast, look at all the blood" lol

                  **** is ****** as hell.
                  Question:

                  Which do you see every day in the gym, and which happens very rarely?

                  a) Guy gets a bloodied nose in sparring.

                  b) Speed bag explodes from a left hook.

                      no problem. even with some great cutmen in their corners i have seen boxers bloodied a lot worse.

                      i am not a fan of floyd or ricky.
