TMT Gym Sparring Methods- Disgusting

[-Kev-]

I see nothing wrong with that. Tough sparring with headgear and 12-16 oz gloves on. No one cries foul at brawls with 8oz gloves and a fighter is all bloodied up and destroyed, exhausted.

thats why they are doing it though

in boxing everyone takes their beatings, there is no getting around it. you cant become a good defensive fighter without learning how to avoid punches thrown with bad intentions. ive seen several guys look sharp as hell only to get nailed and turn into a sloppy mess.

these guys are being taught how to stay shard under pressure, when tired and having heavy artillery thrown their way.

as a fighter you are going to take beatings, so its better to do it in the gym with big gloves, headgear and without your record on the line. the idea im sure is that if you learn to survive in "the dog house" you can survive in the ring when it matters. nothing will faze you.

the world class fighters at the gym dont go at it like that, because they know what prizefighting is about. they dont need to be thrown to the wolves in order to be prepared for a long hard professional fight, they have been there. they are already able to stay calm in any situation and not take unnecessary punishment when the stakes are high.

safety does come first in the long run, but you cant avoid getting beat up altogether. there is no hypocrisy going on.

Do you honestly believe that Floyd has ever been forced to go 30 minutes against a superior fighter? Of course not, because getting battered has never been the secret to developing a good defense. Otherwise 3rd world countries would be putting out Sweet Peas by the dozens.

kelvis, "brawls with 8 oz gloves" are pro fights.


this is a sparring session in a gym. it's practice. it should be conducted accordingly. you can facilitate improvement without doing that much damage to your fighters.


the fighters hands / bodies, and more importantly their brains, cannot sustain sparring like this. that was a fight in the gym. it wasn't sparring. you don't have to take that much damage to get better as a boxer. floyd mayweather definitely doens't need to be getting in the face of an 18 year old kid after he has clearly had enough.


it was a bad look for his gym. they looked like a bunch of unorganized kids.

I don't know man, if I was a pro boxer, i'd love to fight in that gym. I probably don't see it as much because I sparred with 8 oz gloves in the block basement, and that's all we ever used, we didn't know any better lol. I'm used to the atmosphere. I never even knew in sparring they used 16 oz gloves until like 17-18 years old. 8oz felt pretty safe, we did use headgear. I can't imagine punches from 16 oz glove hurting that much, it didn't hurt that much from 8oz, it did hurt but not that much.

So Floyd is a PSSY?

Please explain Floyd fans your hypocrisy? This is one funny thread where those Floyd fans that parrot "Health comes first" are the same ones that are calling posters PSSY for something that is way way more damaging than Maidana just wanting to fight with his APPROVED gloves .... yet, thread after thread, Floyd and his fans are saying "Health comes first"

"What was wrong with those gloves?" - Reporter

"When fighters die or go to the hospital .... protect the fighters .... I'm the face of boxing. I want to clean up the sport. This is not a bare-knuckle brawl. I have a career after boxing." - Floyd

Great post....

New England is defending the 18 year old kid who took more damage than he needed.

Tyson WAS the 18 year old kid beating up grown men.....
