Keep in mind it is just sparring.

Mccline roughed Byrd up a bit as well did Barrett.

I bet it gets annoying when you're the champ and practically every sparring partner you hire tries to take advantage of the opportunity to make a name for himself by dominating you in training. I'd be knockin out my sparring partners for real if I was champ.

You would get nothing out of that, though.
Sometimes when you're sparring you try to train for certain things, like head movement and countering with straight shots only or defense and jabbing, knocking them out just to prevent them from not spreading the word would be a waste of time kind of.

Yeah I know. It wouldn't solve anything as far as training goes. I was just being sarcastic.

Sparring with headgear is *****. Real champions don't do that ****.

Are you crazy? Why would those guys take years off their career just to seem tough? Most guys use headgear in sparring. Unless you think Ali and Tzsyu are b***es.
