@MrDiscernment2011 i am currently using "Twin"gear, this is high quality muay thai gear,tho in the past ive used Everlast.Defence requires alot of skills and time,and good trainers and "sparing partners".ha ha.Slips,hitting on slips,blocking ,parry,leaning,rolling,foot evasion,takes so much time and work,and thats why so many use a simple cage defense.a cage helps but if the other guy is good if cant work around the cage.thats why mayweather doesnt get hit much,..SKILLS.I dont use Winning.

[MrDiscernment2011]

@dempsey981 Ok, fair enough. What do you think about Winning products?. Are there specific headgear's' that provide more padding to absorb a blow. How about Everlast old school gear. I've seen James Toney wear it, but his defense seems to be using angles and the shoulder roll.

@MrDiscernment2011 pro boxers use pro sparing partners sir.a green amateur is of no use at the champion level.many champs used to be spar mates;jimmy ellis[ali],larry holmes[ali]jack dempsey[spared for many guys]etc.,etc.,i know of no incident where a pro mauled an unskilled unsigned "victim"in a spar session.this is a sport not a cover for criminal assault.boxing comissions in each state regulate the legal side of injury etc..protective gear works,and no its not immunity from shots,it helps.

[MrDiscernment2011]

@dempsey981 Well, If the pro is sparring other pros, then I can agree with you. But if the pro decides to beat up on a novie in the Gym, he's no longer acting like a professional. Most professional boxers hands are registered as LOADED weapons. I'll bet that Pro could be sued for a negligence tort, if he recklessly injures someone who is not a pro. Also, since when does all that gear protect anyone from the shots. Every time I sparred I felt the shots. The only thing the gear does is stop cuts.

@MrDiscernment2011 sounds good but superstars dont usually hire out as $1000/week sparing partners do they.its possible to get hurt sparing,gettin hurt for small pay is not a superstar activity usually.no offense but most sparing partners are just that,and as such are there to hone the champs skills,not to make him look good.btw,part of a sparing partners job IS to be a punchin bag.thats why they wear lots of protective gear and rotate as many as 4-8 of them at a time.louis was brutal on them

@davidw9785 yea kool shots,unique.

[davidw9785]

Gotta love that rapid-fire hook

[MrDiscernment2011]

@daTruChosen I agree. After I the Glen Johnson fight, I think Roy was hurting...In his prime he would've destroyed Lebedev, but his reaction time has SLOWED. He needs to retire, before Parkinson's comes for him.
