    Not going to say I know more about boxing then any trainer of course but it seems like basic logic to be.

    You don’t need to be doing hard sparring every day in gym ward, that’d be ******, but I think it’d be far more beneficial for boxers to be even doing light tippy tap sparring with a guy infront of you, being able to actually work on things, building up muscle memory etc. rather than firing beach balls out of their arse or other circus tricks.
    yeah. Hard sparring every day is not the answer. That's that terry norris and james toney crap that has them severely speech slurred today. It will prepare you for fights better than anything else, but very crucial to your life after boxing. I think there should be 3 rounds of hard sparring per week leading up to a fight. At the MOST 3. Larry Holmes said he used to have a $10k bounty on his own head in the gym when he was reigning world champ. Anyone who could knock him down got the $10k.

      He's a highly skilled fighter but not unbeatable. He's human for God's sake. You win some and you lose some. He came up short last night but he'll bounce back.

        So...Where were the adjustments?

        "Be patient. Just be patient."

        Really? That's it? That's all he had to say in between rounds. The great boxing sage could only come up with a game plan of waiting until Lopez got tired...With no adjustments in between. No, go to the body? Nothing?

        I respect Loma for trusting and following his trainers game plan, because he definitely was patient.

              you are a liar and a coward.

                  Haha yes same here to all that.

                  It's funny, if you look at my posts when I'm all drunk I try way too hard and suddenly think I'm A. J. Liebling...
