if you were a fighter would you Spar with Margarito?

[Rockin']

Answer this question,, do most pro boxers go all out on sparring or hold back??

Down at Galaxy we fought hard every day. One guy said that sparring gets easier when fights are coming near when in reality the sparring gets more heated as fights draw closer........Rockin'

Even if he did use handwraps... Do you honestly think he's use it in sparring?

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

I would DEFINITELY spar with him...and I wouldnt worry about potential things he may or may not do to gloves...I dont think the guy (as some would have you believe) tampers with every set of gloves he comes into contact with...however I can tell you I know one former world rated boxer who more than once put 12 ounce bag gloves on in place of 16 ounce sparring gloves (I was there for two of the times he did this)...one time he got away with it and really mashed up the face of a fellow world rated guy but the 2nd time? He got caught, was made to wear the standard 16 ouncers and was subsequently KNOCKED OUT COLD (Im talking O--U-T out) by the guy he was going to trick....

I would definitely spar with him, I would be all excited for it and take pics with him and get an autograph no doubt. Several other fighters at my gym are fans of him too.

I'd jump at the chance to spar any World Class boxer (Any boxer even) regardless of who they were or what their history was, plus as norte said there is money, even more incentive to get in there.

Capetillo said they used the wraps previously. If not sparring, that means during an actual fight, right?

Sparring should always be performed at 70% of a boxers full potential. Why risk an injury as fights draw near? It's not worth it.

Also why worry about sparring margarito most pro boxers rotate between 3+ sparring partners to keep the sparring mate fresh. That means a sparring partner might get 3 or 4 rounds with Margarito and in comes the next one. But knowing Rockin' he is probably going to debate this also.

That is correct, we cycle after a few rounds each with our pro fighter, and just in general for us amateurs. The more fighters the better, and obviously for professionals they find ideal sparring partners based on the qualities of the opponent they are going to face.

Sparring generally is not at 100% because obviously you don't want to injure someone training, but sparring sessions before a fight are pretty intense.

We agree then! saludos.


p.s. I am waiting for Rockin' to contradict me

i am a fighter, and yes. it would be great opertunity to share the ring with a world class fighter, share a gym with a bunch of em. maybe get some pointers from robert garcia. invaluable experience as a fighter and as a person. i would do it in a heart beat, not that im on that level but in theory.
