However, getting vanquished in a sparring session isn’t new to pro-boxers. The entire ball game of sparring is to take necessary notes about one’s weaknesses so as to know where to improve. That said, the 31-year-old too would like to pen his pros and cons and improve himself with time.

Keith Thurman gave an honest reaction to Errol Spence Jr. and his sparring session

In a chat with FightHype, Thurman said, “They should have pulled it down.”

“Little Pac Jr was jumping in putting hands on him and that didn’t look good to the people, especially me, who is rooting for Errol to take out the old with the new.”

“It is what it is. But because of that, it doesn’t sit right for me, and I want EJ to win the fight.” (h/t Boxing Insider)
