Clearly I know it's sparring but I'm saying for those 2 mins of sparring matthysse was on top and you can't deny that from the footage.

It's interesting to watch, but it probably has no deeper meaning. You don't know at what stage this in in whoevers camp. Sparring is to tune you up and get you used to being in the ring again, so it wouldn't surprise me to see a lot of top boxers to have serious off days in sparring and especially earlier on in a camp. Martinez didn't look very sharp, but Martinez takes rounds off in fights, I am sure sparring is no different in that regard.

Who said we figured anything out? I've always said he could box as a puncher.
