He's not kidding when he said he's a fan of canelo

[@buffrichard8107]

This man is gonna be champ for a long time.

[@Generalkux]

His boxing is too clean. Last Clip really showed it

[@Ajox191]

Hard sparring with mma gloves is just crazy. What ever happened to wearing 16 oz gloves? I remember when coaches would get pissed if you were wearing 14oz gloves.

[@andrewgogava8516]

I’m pretty sure they do it to kinda get a feel for what it’s gonna be like in the real fight

[@kaukas5824]

No ones forcing them to spar if you don't like they way you can go simple

[@robertlll5319]

Exactly, just look how Thai fighters do sparrings, they never do more than 60% and always with 16oz gloves

[@Ajox191]

@@robertlll5319 you are exactly right.

[@Gabupepo]

@@robertlll5319because thai fighters fight almost every week. That’s their equivalency to hard sparring.

[@addys0nn]

The knees in sparring is wild to me

[@iamDBA1]

Knees to the head at least yea it's dumb. Controlled knees to the body w/ protection are fine IMO tho

[@BigPoppaSufi]

What's the story with your profile pic lol

[@toddtaylor3680]

Do you expect them to never practice knees and then magically throw and defend them in fights?

[@user-vo1gd5sk8n]

That’s called building word champions

[@AllTheGloryFPS]

All attempts are pulled back plus the added head gear/cage protection.

[@SoTurtles]

I don't understand how he hits so hard honestly

[@jinsouwolf]

biomechanics

[@dt8384]

@@jinsouwolf no he definitely has great biomechanics but his hits look effortlessly harder

[@jaybx9831]

@@dt8384genetics and technic and biomechanics like the other guy said but yea I think genetics play a big part because some people just genuinely hit hard like 2 guys could be the same weight height build etc and 1 guy just punches harder and is faster it’s always been like that tho some people just genuinely blessed.

[@alsvids3651]

2:23, I hate when sparring partners who spar with only one shin guard. You really should have both, protection for yourself and especially for your sparring partners. Had a guy I used to train with pull this crap all the time and promised he wouldn't kick with bare shin. Always finished rounds getting slammed into oblivion the entire time. Really sucks

They could be getting paid. It's typical to pay people to come in for sparring when you train at a high level you need specific body types and fighting styles to come train with you.
