Vanes was getting beat up in sparring by Loma?

[Golden Boi 360]

wasn't Ivan Calderon beating up DLH in preparation for the Pacquiao fight?

I have no problem believing an extremely talented boxer can get the better of a heavier sparring partner but Vanes isn't exactly some bum.

I doubt they sparred.

Why not? James Kirkland was making a Cuiserweight quit in sparring. Like he was beating the **** out of him.

“When he becomes bigger in popularity Lil’G is gonna have to move up. It may be at 175. I have Cruiserweights, Champion Cruiserweights that have been easy for him in he gym, so i have no problem about the weight.” -Abel 2014

Ever heard the expression “talk is cheap.” Is Gennady popular yet? Or the belts isn’t a priority anymore innit?

I remember watching vanes spar against chavez Jr and outclassing him few years ago. I doubt loma schooled vanes in sparring

i wouldn't doubt it. lomachenko is one of the best amateurs ever. of course he's going to be a handful with headgear and if you gotta wear 14 oz gloves trying to hit him. if they're both working on things, and vanes isn't jus ttrying to impose his size and take his head off the way you'd do if you were trying to "beat him in sparring" [whatever that means,] then lomachenko's going to look great. he's faster, better boxer, etc. not using advantages would make vanes look terrible, but it's sparring and you work on stuff and get in shape.



if they fought pro it would be very different. i remember a story from emanuel steward regarding andy lee sparring jermain taylor. taylor was the best MW in teh world for a time, and an extremely talented fighter, but he got beat up by molases slow andy lee the first time he came to the kronk gym. steward said, "don't worry, this is his gym." if those two fought pro taylor would have popped his head right off his shoulders, but in the gym lee walloped him.

I heard Loma was sparring with AJ and broke his jaw which is the real reason why they're stalling on the 50M offer.

I'd say Loma walks around at a 145 average. Yes you're right. Canelo sparring Shabransky, or a Zurdo today that rehydrates to 195+

These are all catch a mouse type drills depending on the style. Check out my boy Canelo holding his ground with the lanky ass tall Zurdo and getting rocked with that sweet Left from Zurdo... Lil'G wouldn't dare want that work

GGG is scared of Zurdo.

Not sure if sarcasm?

[man down]

I remember the video a few days back when he was asked about sparring. This came straight from Loma's mouth.

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Loma gonna go from 126-154. ATG, baby.

[Southpawology]

Kinda hard to believe.
Loma sparring with a jr middle?

Its not that far fetched as it sounds. Boxers spar with bigger/smaller guys all the time. It helps the smaller boxer with confidence in getting in the ring vs a bigger stronger guy and it helps the bigger guy dealing with a smaller fighter with alot of speed and quickness
