Comments Thread For: McGregor Sparring Partner: Nobody Cared When Malignaggi Left

[aboutfkntime]

Can't believe how many threads there are on this fight. I didn't think the Boxing world cared but obviously you lot do! Paulie is a retired fighter who stopped because he was getting beaten and even when he was at his best he wasn't a great fighter so who cares if Conor dropped him or not? Hatton stopped prime Paulie and got stopped by Mayweather around the same time so that shows you the difference. As for Floyd he's sparring with Corley, Judah and Spence so he's getting good southpaw work and actually sparring better fighters than he'll be fighting.

and Maurice Lee

also, I heard they added Eubank Jnr..... not sure if that's true

Paulie is a known liar. What Conor lied about?

but, he's not.....

and on the other thread..... you are running around calling a Mayweather a steroid cheat, while looking the way when Pac's name is mentioned

I think Malignaggi is a straight-talker, and you are a shht-talker

[Butt stuff]

No ive been boxing for nine years, u must be new to boxing. When ur training for a huge fight like this u spar with contenders who can actually get u prepared to fight a boxer of this caliber. U dont spar with amateur fighters. U must be new to boxing though so ill give u a pass.

Lol!!!! and you? are you new to boxing? the only reason to spar an amateur being a top level fighter is that you have no money nor pro-teammates. Plus, you will NEVER, I repeat, NEVER, become a top pro fighter sparring amateurs, no matter their quality.

It's well known that lots of top pros over the years have sparred amateurs for high tempo rounds. The intensity, high volume, point scoring style is good work.

Basically this. He rags on Pac a bit but otherwise he's spot on, and tbf Pac was blatantly on PEDs as most boxers probably are- but that's a diff subject altogether

That's bull sheet.

I've seen top fighters ruined for not being able to spar vs pros, and having to spar vs amateurs because they had no choice. You want to prepare a top fight? you NEED to spar with pros, the best available ones. You spar with amateurs, you are screwed, no matter their quality. And whoever sais otherwise has no F clue about what is he talking about, and I would never ever want him in my corner.

there is no question about that, but those guys are right about top amateurs..... Mayweather himself sparred with sweet pea back when he was an amateur and Whitaker was champ

either way, it doesn't sound like Mac has great sparring lined up

Man, they spar so that the amateur can learn, not to train the pro. Specially if the pro is preparing an important fight. No way a pro prepares a serious fight sparring with amateurs, no F way in hell, and it doesnt matter if the amateurs are top or not, it doesnt matter at all. Amateurs is one thing, and pros is another thing, like another sport, you dont prepare a tennis match playing paddle, and if you do you will pay for it and in boxing when you pay, you pay with blood.

And no way you are going to convince me, because I've seen what happens when you do that.

most fighters spar amateurs, including Mayweather

Warren for example, was in/around dozens of pro camps for YEARS when he was fighting in the am's

you're right..... it often happens to expose a young fighter to that higher level of competition..... but fighters also use them to get/stay sharp, and whenever there is a shortage of pro's

also, you often want a mix of guys, and you use fresh legs to keep the sparring sharp..... sometimes a mix of 3-4 guys over 12 rounds

sometimes olympic-level amateurs are far easier to obtain, and have a good style to prepare you for a particular opponent..... and it is far less-likely to find that level of pro available..... you use whoever you can get, and top pro's are more likely to be committed to their own fight/camp/holiday/etc.....

Ward uses Nate Diaz in FULL camp, and he aint even an amateur boxer.....

but yea I agree with you, seasoned pro's would serve Conor much better for this fight/camp
