So Pac is sparring my boy Lara? Great choice.
Yea he can get used to the movement and the footwork but like Floyd, Lara works off his lead hand to establish range, blind his opponent and set up his straights. Also Lara has a great sense of distance and can make you think your out of punching range when your in the exact spot you want to be. He can place you where he wants you to be and make you throw the punches he wants you to throw.
Obviously he's not as well rounded as Floyd but there is a lot that can be learned.

PAC can work on trying to get Lara on the ropes
And dealing with frustration if lot of movement
Lara is an al haymon fighter though so would like clarification that Lara is indeed sparring
Pac
then there's how you stand and defend against a southpaw, it just seems like it's a waste of time when he could be perfecting his defense/offense and angles etc on the orthodox stance
yea...

Originally posted by jas View PostPAC sparring Lara shows they also think Floyd will move a lot
There's still a large contingent of Floyd fans that think Floyd will walk PAC down

Let's just calm down with the Lara thing I think. Remember when they said he was sparring Rigondeaux and that was fake.
