Sparring is practice. Not a measure of ability.
The only relevant thing about this is that it would have been recent and could have a psychological impact, depending where Anthony's head is at. Getting dropped in sparring doesn't mean he's any less talented a fighter though.

Just sparring but AJ needs this kind of stuff so he'll be ready when it does happen in a real fight!
I did like his reaction to being hurt by Whyte, he fought back and kept him off of him!
Thing is, he won't be able to fight off being hurt against guys like Wilder or Ortiz so hopefully their teaching him to clinch when in trouble!

The only issue is Josh's aura made be harmed. Not sure he had aura of invincibility but being decked in sparring can harm your reputation.

It's sparring - so gotta take it with a grain of salt.
BUT, it's consistent with what AJ has shown thus far. Not the first time he'd been pumped in sparring, and being captain obvious - he got checked by a horrendously slow Whyte (who the **** can't telegraph a shot from him?).
