Ubereem killing a sparring partner

It's pretty well documented that he goes too hard and hurts guys in sparring
I agree. Just saying. Jon Gunderson and Wandy used to be known for going hard in training in Vegas. People knew it going in to train with them. It's all about what you say before the sparring. The fucked up part is when it's new guys who don't know any better and they feel they shouldn't say anything, and then the dude STILL fucks them up.
 
Ive known guys though in sparring that dont take it easy on anyone regardless of age and skill level

So they basically fight people while their opponent thinks its sparring. Hate people like that. Loose canons.

Some of them just don't know any other way nor care to. But..to their credit they do warn people that's how they spar. So no one can claim surprise. But...they won't take it easy on anyone.
 
Look at all that footwork and timing they learned - super useful in future rocke'em-sock'em-ups.

I noticed the Philly shell in there!

Some shades of pernell whittaker,as it were

Well if they warn people i guess its okay. I'd steer clear of them though.
 
Some ppl wanna test themselves against that smoke. You'd be surprised

Ya as long as both guys clearly know what theyre getting into its okay. Although if I ran the gym id hate to see shit like that. Especially some of these vids where theyre not even wearing head gear.

It never got THAT out of hand. You always had the option of quitting.

I dont know man. Stories of guys going hard getting hurt in sparring, gym wars and knock outs are common.
 
People complaining about hard sparring?

that’s how it goes down in kickboxing gyms

Well I heard of some fucked up stories from Mac Danzig at xtreme Couture,he says the atmosphere was brutal there and that he'd see guys like Jay hieron be sparring stand up,just straight kickboxing against a straight boxing or kickboxing guy and if the guy was beating him he'd take them down regardless of the rules and wail on the dude on the ground. I've heard that from other sources as well.

Also it's up to the coaches too. Where I trained it wasn't tolerated for things to get to out of control. It'd get broken up.
 
no headgear? no wonder he has no chin

Headgear don’t really protect your chin. Protects more against superficial damage and cuts.

Hard to control sometimes. My first time sparring was against one of the amateur fighters who was just a dick and liked to haze the new guys (I was already training for a year before sparring). The lead instructor was also sparring at the same time.

I can’t think of anything worse than being matched up in sparring with overeem......lol

Yea I would opt out of that one. He might get some Everton texiera flashback and banish me to the deepest darkest shadow realms
