Comments Thread For: Spadafora Reflects on Mayweather Sparring Session

[RVABoxer]

allow me to speak for anyone whos ever boxed. We all spar with guys above our level. Its how we get better. Sometimes you do better than you expect, but it doesnt mean anything. Theres nothing on the line for the better fighter. Hes just working on things and not necissarily about winning every round decisively. Theres much lesser killer instinct and adrenaline involved than in a real fight in front of an audience that will go on your permanent record. This guy needs to stop talking about it...Look at Floyd and look at him. Its like some guy saying "I played in a pick up game against Lebron James and made a jump shot!!"...Even though Lebron wasnt really trying or cared at all. My avatar is me sparring with Bryant Jennings. I know Im his sparring partner. Im proud to help out, but I know it isnt the real thing. Just the same, when I spar with guys a few notches below me, they need to realize that too. Spadafora is like some high school kid who made out with some girl at a party and goes around telling everyone they did it...its sad and pathetic. He needs to get a life and get a meaningful win on his actual record sometime before he turns 40.

^^^ yep this

The mentality of a real fight is totally different IMO and effects performance too I spar with guys that have a lot better records than I do but and do better than them but they are better in the actual fights. Plus Floyd may have been trying to work on some stuff that day that made him look worse cause its not a competition in there its time to sharpen skills

I didn't get spadafora bragging from this article at all. He just was in shape probably at his peak before his fight. Floyd was just getting started on his training. If anything spadafora probably felt intimidated to spar with floyd so he felt he had to do good.

[johnm is...]

So youre saying Floyd wasn't trying? Lol I'm sorry but you're wrong

Did you even read what he typed? That's not at all what he said.

[flint]

guerrero will pick up where spadafora left off. round 13 as they say. the blueprint is there

don't be so sure about that and definitely don't hold your breath.

[leonthegee]

Its obvious to me that Floyds been ducking Paulie for a decade now.

I never thought Spadafora was that good, Floyd just couldn't cope with his southpaw stance.

This is so sad, when the best thing you can do is brag about is beating someone is sparring.

He wasn't bragging, in fact he was defending Mayweather so why are people upset with him? He claimed he was ready for a fight because he was in camp and some days away from his fight while Mayweather wasn't.

[fredhopple]

thought Spadafora was in prison or dead

Isn't Spadafora in prison or dead?
