SALT PAPI SPARRING WITH A HIGH LEVEL PROFESSIONAL BOXER (KAY PROSPER)

[@lfmm97]

1:08 this is what martial arts is all about. Great sparring partner. He notices Salt Papi is a little punch shy and that he needs a little confidence, so he just shells up and allows Papi to throw some shots, then goes back to work giving him something to worry about, which is how you evolve as a fighter. Giving someone a little encouragement can help so damn much. No ego, just a proper martial artist helping someone learn.

[@strangeone7198]

Whenever I shell up like that in sparring it's so i can protect my self while reading my partner, or I don't respect the power and I'm just goofing off. Pretty sure it's the same here

[@lfmm97]

@@strangeone7198 You could be right but the reason I think he was doing it to encourage Salt Papi is because of the difference in experience/skill level altogether. The dude Salt Papi is sparring is a 14-2 pro. I think he was taking it easy on him and allowing him to build up his confidence because he knows he's there to help an inexperienced guy who's not on his level at all.

[@beanieman4892]

@@codygenius8172 there's soft and hard sparring . If I'm sparring with a guy I have years on I'm prob asking for a new sparring partner . If it's hard sparring because I'm not holding back. Soft sparring is all about technique and basics which is what this was . Both are going easy , going through the motions

[@totsbig]

His sparring partner has a 14-2 record, and he spars like a real pro. For sure Salt Papi will learn a lot from that dude.

[@lidkasplus]

14-2 was a record of Lomachenko just 2 fights ago, dont let it fool you

[@kiboma4209]

@@lidkasplus Loma fought world champions and was almost unbeatable at 126 lb, his two losses are debatably draws. Loma also has a 396-1 Amateur record, so while Kay Prospere ain’t bad by any means, he’s no Loma

[@lidkasplus]

@@kiboma4209 Im not saying he's Loma, just saying that if some casual who doesnt know who Loma is looks at his record would think this dude is trash, my point was just dont let the record fool you, Loma has better record than many pros who have records like 40-0 but beat all bums their whole life

[@QuackSus]

crazy how many levels there are to combat sports because salt papi makes the other influencers look below amateur level while salt papi performs at a professional level, but he's only going to get better if they keep putting him with sparring partners who completely out match him but hold back to train his reflexes it could also be that he's just very nervous in sparring and he puts everything together when he's fighting in front of a crowd

[@JJJ-ok7nc]

He’s sparring him to learn. State the obvious!

[@gabegabe5672]

True professional. Fights at salts speed and is very timid with the power punches. Great work.

[@sakyia1]

Yeah but I just watched this salt papi knock people out and punch everybody hard now with a real one and they taking it easy papi wasn't easy on nobody in the street.

[@bingdaliew9736]

what im actually impressed with is that SP didn't have any ego issue with bringing in a pro, recording this, and showing the world his training, even if he was slightly outclassed here. tells me that he has the right mentality to learn, challenge himself, improve, all without ego. he'll go really really far if he keeps this up

[@MangoOverthere]

Right his demeanor was well-balanced and calm for sure.

[@cutter9562]

he didn't "slightly" outclass him, he picked him apart and showed us that there's levels between an actual pro and celebrity boxers 1:06

[@js858sd]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 why he’s not even good

[@MangoOverthere]

@@cutter9562 LOL after rereading your comment that's a good thing to point out. I was impressed with how good SP is for having little professional training but yes the pro was holding back tons. He was faster, stronger, and smarter. There would just be no point in going all in if the goal os for SP to learn, though. He let him feel comfortable and conditioned him with his actions.

[@devilkazumi578]

I was thinking the same youll only get better if you bring in ppl who are better than you

[@SaVaGe-513]

This is a great sparring partner… he knows SP isn’t on his level so he doesn’t go in there trying to hurt SP he’s going in there to teach him and help SP learn… beautiful work this will help SP so much

[@JakyIsJakey]

I'm glad he's actually teaching him during sparring instead of just dominating salt papi. that's a great sparring partner

[@tightkitchen]

If you trained even just 1 session of boxing, you know that this takes a lot of stamina and power. Great work here. Throwing punches in that amount of time and moving even without sparring is a lot of work.

[@e.m.c.2209]
