~ Boxers who put together an 'intense' Training Program before a Bout ~

Wilfred Benitez

Before facing Roberto Duran, Wilfred sparred an incredible 240-Rounds during a
3-Week stretch.

Wilfred may have been in his 'finest ever' condition for a Championship Bout.

The 'word' was, that the Duran Camp Associates saw Wilfred in training camp and sparring,
then took their money and 'bet' on Wilfred.

[Beanflicker]

Maybe all that sparring is why his brain turned to mush though.

Roberto Duran

After losing to Wilfred Benitez in January 1982.

Roberto Duran >
"It would be a good fight. I would like to see that happen this year. Wilfred is much
stronger now than he was 2 1/2 years ago."

"I would be a 'close fight'. Very close."

Foreman was cut in training but had plenty of time to adjust in Zaire with his training.

Do not too excited that Ali was losing the sparring wars. Ali was toying with his sparring partners and if he had to step up and spank them he would have.
