TMT Gym Sparring Methods- Disgusting

[Wildin out]

that is not sparring. it is not sustainable to train like that.

says who exactly? many world champions current and former have gone through sparring just as vigorous if not more than what goes on in the dog house. i have a feeling all this fake outrage is stemming from the fact that floyd is involved.

Not necessarily.

Boxing is a brutal sport, and you should go hard in sparring to prepare yourself for a fight. I also think that intentionally trying to hurt someone is idiotic. You need your fighter to peak at the right moment, you need him to be physically healthy, and mentally confident before a fight.

I have been in some really bad gyms where fighters are beaten down, disrespected, made fun of and even attacked for their weakness. I have seen some bad things, and IMO I don't think it's beneficial for the fighter himself.

Fighters like Sergio Martinez has said he's scaled down sparring in the last decade of his career because he felt his body was breaking down.

sergio had to tone down sparring because his ass fights with his hands down and was having knee problems to begin with.

i think this kind of extreme "sparring" is incredibly dumb and ultimately pointless. it's unnecessary punishment and you aren't getting paid for it. these guys will end up like james toney which is unfortunate.

Honestly, I felt pretty sick watching that sparring. People were getting seriously hurt, and most definitely concussed. Mr. Mayweather himself mocked someone who was seriously hurt, and they were sparring brutal 30 minute rounds until someone quit. I think it may even be illegal, but I know for damn sure it is unethical. No wonder TMT fighters except Floyd lose all the time. Imagine all the concussions Love must have sustained over the years due to the ****** dog house mentality?

I do not think that type of sparring makes a fighter better. They are getting insulted from all the morons around the ring, taking punishment for no real reason. Then you have someones mother and brother there trying to avenge a loss, and someone who just sparred brutally is forced to get in the ring and go till exhaustion again?

They know the rules going into the ring. No one makes them get into that ring. They call one another out and decide to go into the ring on their own.

Have you never laced up a pair of gloves and sparred with someone with no bell and no time limit?

Rather than looking at it as a bad thing because you could not hold your own in their, how about looing at it from a different vantage point. Like the fact no one wants to be embarrassed, so they train as hard as they can, and push themselves to another level prior to getting into that ring.

As for mocking someone, who hasn't? Hell there's a thread with well over 1,000 posts of Broner get dropped on this site. And another of Pac planking.

a bunch of emotional all dudes here huh? this is boxing, it's a brutal sport and will remain that way. to prepare for a brutal sport? you gotta prepare in a brutal way. that's the way most of us in the game came up, and you gotta show your stripes in order to get prepared for the biggest night of your life.

funny how when it's the TMT gym doing these type of sparring methods it's a bad thing, but i guarantee you one thing. if things were the opposite and this type of sparring was done at the robert garcia gym, you'd all be calling them "tough mexican warriors" and talk about how hard those fighters are fighting to the death and so on. but because floyd is related, you possess that extra hate. we know the game by now.

Preach.....

You people realize this is boxing not tiddley winks. Some of you so called fans of the sport need to grow some balls and stop acting like f@.gg.otts

Co-signed. Some of the posters here aren't BS members as fans of the sport of boxing but rather as haters of Floyd only. lmao

I think that is wrong as well. I know what I saw on all access, and it struck me as wrong. The man running it is always talking about his long term health and being able to live a healthy life, meanwhile these guys are killing each other in the gym without any care in the world for safety. Most of these guys will not be set for life from boxing, and they will probably be brain damaged to boot.

The hypocrisy isn't just in the fact that Mayweather parrots how important health is while mocking those who get hurt in the "doghouse," but it is also how he refuses to have his sparring sessions recorded but allows these to be shown and the wagering.

If anyone is cherry picking, it's you.

You can start with the rules for prizefighting, if you feel so inclined.

lol, how can you sit there and accuse me of the very crime you are doing right now? that's exactly what you are doing, you are cherry picking by trying to say this isnt a sanctioned fight, that there a rules to an actual boxing match lmfaaooo what you are doing is STRAIGHT CHERRY PICKING and you have the nerve to accuse me of the very thing you are doing right now?

i can tell you dont box or dont go to boxing gyms. this type of hardcore sparring happens all the time.

YOu dont think fights happen at boxing gyms?

this is nothing new. this type of fights happen all the time. lol you cherry picker you. you would know that if you actually spent time in boxing gyms instead of remodeling your house then posting pictures at the lounge trying so hard to look rich and successful.

[MindBat]

That's the type of fighting they volunteer for. Nobody is forcing them to go 30+ min rounds.
