    Brad Solomon vs Erislandy (Sparring)



    Haven't watched it yet, I just came across it, it was just uploaded barely an hour ago.

    Sorry, I meant to say Erislandy Lara, not just Erislandy, my bad.

    Tough sparring, Soloman better on the inside and Lara better on the outside. Lara doesn't and won't do well against a guy that can trap him on the ropes, he needs space to work.

        Agreed. The one good thing for Lara when he's on the inside, is that he knows how to effectively clinch his way out, and he also has gotten a lot better at defending himself on the inside as well.

        Solomon is a stylistic nightmare for anyone, given his unorthodox style, movement and speed. Even though he's not that great on the outside offensively, he's very good at doing the subtle things and little feints to keep you occupied enough until he feels like getting in close and going to work again. I still can't believe Solomon got dropped in his last fight against a journeyman, because Solomon is a good fighter.

          Dude it was relatively light sparring, neither landed much, because they weren't really fighting each other, they were just going throw the motions and getting in some good competitive work. Lara landed solid single shots, and Solomon did good work on the inside with combinations to the body.

            I never noticed that Solomon was so tall. I almost never watch sparring footage, but I actually enjoyed this.

                    I thought Lara did fairly well on the inside/ropes. A lot of those punches from Solomon landed on the elbows and arms.

                    He clinched Williams beautifully every time on the inside and I was also impressed by his inside work vs Hernandez. And thanks for the video.
