Comments Thread For: Arum: Fury Told Me How He's Killing Sparring Partners; Arrives In Las Vegas On Saturday

You're meant to leave it in the ring, not in the gym. You're also meant to get paid for it. Y'all got, like, wives & children? Who wants to be a legend of the gym? In a way, I would've loved to have seen Bernard 'Superbad' Mays, but we're talking about someone who achieved nothing, had nothing, died in his Mom's apartment age 29. How great is that?

No one who shuts down and keeps moving off the back foot whilst getting beat up and doing nothing is prepared to die in the ring. All you saw was his delusion and arrogance when the towel was thrown in. A fighter really wanting to go out on their shield would throw back. Not cower and do nothing.

Wilder is transparent. I question the people who can't see through this fraud and his constant lies and contradictions.

Inspiring stuff, brother! You sound like Louis Farrakhan, had he been dropped on his head in infancy.

It only hurts on the night, it must have really hurt on 2/22/2020

It was unclear what had happened. I was convinced Wilder's eardrum was busted and Breland made the right call. I have a very different take on that now, in light of Wilder's allegations and Fury's year-long refusal to honor the contract that he signed.

Luckily, the arbitrator put an end to that, and we'll see how he fares in his very first title defense. Klitschko never got a chance to win back his belts, but Wilder is doing everything he can to prevent Fury from doing that again...

Time for a new lineage. Or a new WBC champion if Fury retires again...

Makes me feel warm and cozy knowing Fury was sparring Anderson. That's real work

The only ones dropped on their head my friend, is Deontay and anyone ****** enough to buy into that fraud.

But please enjoy. I'm not into having bumps all over my head.

It's stunning the amount of people that can't comprehend this.

A fighter will PURPOSEFULLY try new tactics that make them VULNERABLE against sparring opponents. The point is to learn if its feasible or dangerous/******. So, YES, fighters will get HURT in sparring...its called PRACTICE for a reason. This is also where PERFECT fights happen. When fighters TRAIN a certain way and demonstrate PROGRESS during camp against sparring partners (not DOMINATING THEM but IMPROVEMENT) they are more likely to DOMINATE their opponent and fight the "perfect" fight.

Floyd v Corrales
Manny v Hatton
Manny v DLH
Danny Garcia v Khan
Fury v Wilder II
Canelo v Smith
Loma v Walters
Loma v Rigo

Those were all nearly PERFECT fights where the winner was essentially in control the entire time and, prior to the fight, oddsmakers had the WINNER either a SLIGHT favorite or even an underdog. I PROMISE YOU the winners faced adversity, likely got hurt on more than one occasion, during sparring and yet - that didn't mean a damn thing.

If you don't believe me, ask a consensus TOP 5 FIGHTER EVER in Sugar Ray Leonard who said he was KO'd in sparring ~2 weeks PRIOR to fight Hagler. His camp changed their ENTIRE FIGHT STRATEGY IN UNDER 2 WEEKS based off getting KO'd in sparring by a....SPARRING PARTNER. SRL went on to win over another legend and cemented his status as ONE of the BEST to EVER do it.

Dumb ILLBC kiddos don't understand boxing. At all. They just understand "race" CTFU

I agree with everything but the bolded. Danny definitely got the result he wanted but I'm not sure that was close to being a perfect fight did him
