Two legends of the past having a sparring session for charity. Not gonna begrudge that

If this is what former fighters need to still feel alive, so be it.

as long as its an exhibition as far as the old use of the term and people know what to expect like a chavez Sr sparring session exhibition.


As long as it isnt hyped like Tyson-RJJ was as a "real" fight.


There are some fights like Holyfield vs Belfort where they basically made a boxing match that was licensed under "exhibition" requirements because nobody would have given 58 year old holyfield a license for a "real pro fight". This trend is continuing and someone is going to get hurt

Super heavy weight fights are fantastic, even exhibitions

It will just be like a sparring session for charity and it let's these guys go out and have fun Infront of a crowd again. When people start hyping them as real fights tho that's a problem

Barrera looks rough.

Hatton actually looks decent good.

Maybe Hatton can help Naseem get back into some basic healthy shape.

Can't wait for this one, Hatton and Barrera are very good friends actually
