That's because he's the only one who has ever done it as a pro. He's entitled to.

Oh come on. Benn couldn't even beat Eubank and he was nothing special.

Re: Best sparring videos?
I believe there is also video of Valero getting the better of Leo Santa Cruz.
There is a lot of good sparring footage of Valero out there, at least when I checked last.

Re: Best sparring videos?
He'd be rotting in a jail cell where he belonged. If he had not killed his wife he would have had a good career, he was a real tough motherfu**er, a pressure fighter who broke his opponents down, exciting fighter to watch.handsofstone wrote:I wonder how Valero would be getting on these days if he hadnt killed himself?
His sparring videos are great, he always got stuck right in, almost like watching a real fight.
Re: Best sparring videos?
I have filmed so many spars over the years, the Duran and Benn was just a move about, Eugene Maloney was also in the ring with Duran,
Eubank and Douglas was a good spar,
Witherspoon and Currie
Watson and Mugabi,
