There is no reason that he "should" but a lot of people do. I've seen a lot of people claim "I've been training since I was ** years old" and they generally look like a fish out of water in sparring. He doesn't look impressive, he doesn't look overly unimpressive. He looks like the average guy who's sparred a fair bit or had a few fights. At his level if he's matched accordingly whether it's sparring or a fight it won't make much difference if it's sparring or a fight.Why should he "fall apart" in a controlled , safe medium sparring session? Doesnt make much sense, especially extrapolating from that to a fight. For that he would have to be ina hard sparring were mistakes are taken advantage of full force.(not that I want him to make a video like that, the less damage the better.)
If he's matched up with a guy far more experienced or skilled he'll probably get crumped, but that's on his trainer to matchmake correctly.
Not really sure what your point in quoting me is however other than to argue about something that doesn't matter either way. I don't know who this guy is, he could be lying about how long he's been training regardless it's not really my issue. If I was a coach I would have no issue in matching him for a fight.
As for his claim that in the other quote "I promise you wouldn't be saying that if you were standing across from me." I can back you on that. I 100% would say that if I were standing across from him, there are quite a few people here who are adequate enough fighters that they could give up 300lbs to him and he still wouldn't be able to beat them in a boxing or kickboxing match. I agree that if you post something on the internet and ask for criticism (even if you don't by posting it you invite it) then you can't be upset when people provide criticism.
