Rigondeaux non-contact sparring 6ft1, 175lb

For a second I thought i was watching Paulie vs Alexander.

It looks funny but in all seriousness, my trainer had me do this as well with a heavyweight in the ring (I was around 6'0 165lbs at the time). It's mostly to practice your footwork and coordination of where the punches will be coming from and how to go for an opening or counter without actually killing each other... The worst part is when you both throw a jab and are a lil too close to each other and your knuckles collide if your not wearing gloves, lol.

Ah, good times.

That's Cosmo alexandre. He's 76kg when he fights. Well known in the kick boxing and Muay Thai circuit

He could be 250lb Wladimir Klitschko for all it matters, it's non contact it means absolute jack ish

The guys been boxing for 20 years now, you do this when your learning the ropes! there's absolutely no reason why he should be doing it now!

100% this.

It's not even sparring either.

Might as well be shadow boxing.

And people like you would be saying it is not. Goes both ways!

Huh? Unlike some of the people on here, I know the purpose of this exercise and it's nothing new. So why would I be saying anything if I saw Donaire doing this? As you can see the guys knocking on this video are the ones who have no idea wtf this was.

[mathed]

I'm just gonna be honest, that video looks ******ed.

I kind of get the idea but yeah, seems weird to me.
