    Default Re: Judah denies that he decked Floyd in Sparring recently!

    I don't see it as impossible. Judah has targeted the body more as he got older because it keeps his head out of range of counters when he stays low.

    As for floyd.. he was previously injured in sparring once before. (cant remember which fight but was wearing a rib cushioning pad for the rest of camp. He claimed a sparring partner hit him incorrectly or an incorrect spot. I've seen sparring partners been given specific instructions but truthfully and honestly .. if its legal and it landed. its fair game. So its conceivable that he's susceptible to body shots. There's room in the philly shell to work the body especially if you fake them into guarding high. Jab high hook low and take the body. Depending on how hes bladed, it can land behind the elbow or partially on the liver area. It's not impossible. For someone like Judah, its manageable to reach back and pull something slick out of yesterday.

    Sparring partners remain mum. It's an unwritten rule for professionally sparring with someone (just like some partners taking their foot off the gas and lose the last match of camp so the Champ goes in to the fight on a mental high.) If you knock down the the champ, you say nothing.. or "lucky shot, champ" and stay humble unless you are asked about it (was it deliberate, how'd you spot it?) or you could go home early. Some trainers like having someone around who will make their fighters work. Others not so much, if they have a fighter who can lose focus...

    Anyone's guess if this happened or not, but it is possible. Not often talked about.
