Comments Thread For: Spence Reflects On Mayweather Sparring; Giving Floyd Black Eye

Sparring involves punching.

Sometimes when you're involved in punching, you get punched.

Hope this clears it up for some of you.

Or hes just naturally ALOT bigger than the guys you mentioned and Floyd was 36 at the time they sparred.

Possibly. I still think its a little impressive for a guy that was 23 and 4-0 at the time. If others don't, no big deal.

The Brook fight will let us know where he is now.

Sparring isn't the same as when it counts. Brook will KO him.

It's funny, because people don't even realize that by celebrating a black eye in sparring, they're acknowledging how good the guy is.

When a punch lands......in sparring......they celebrate.

Let that sink in.

It's all good homie! It's funny how so many don't believe in this kid, but they already have Lomachenko P4P #1, even with a loss! Spence Jr. will have to beat Brook, Thurman, and Crawford before he gets that kind of props!

I dont have Loma as #1 p4p BUT to not rate Loma higher than Spence is truly bias.

[NYG]

it tells you where you're at.

Not really. In 2013, Floyd is going to kill himself sparring? Cut it out man. I'm sure Spence isnt the only one that hit Floyd in sparring

[Larry the boss]

exactly! a real fight compare to sparring. LOL! floyd got busted up in "sparring". LOL!

its worst for it to happen in a real fight man..in sparring you are "preparing"..you really dont get it do you?

[Larry the boss]

funny to see the floyd fans say its only sparring. but a few years ago when there was talks of pac vs khan, the floyd fans was saying pac and roach is avoiding khan because of the work khan gave pac in "sparring". LMAO!

please tell me who said that..please...

[therealpugilist]

of course you get hit in sparring. but to think a guy like floyd who his fans brag so much about being a defensive wizard, and a guy like spence served him up a black eye is kinda embarrassing.

you can get a black eye from a jab, being thumbed, etc...don't mean you took a beating

you dudes were so hard up to see the man lose you cling to anything...even sparring....really

that's whats really embarassing

it just sucks to publicly acknowledge it because they want to see the man lose so bad
