These kind of sessions are the type of things people travel for hours to participate in for great expierience that takes your game to new levels.

thats real soild work right there by both guys.

some gyms agree with this method. but the fact is, if done frequently, this causes injury and brain damage. and if you fight only couple times a yr, it's necessary for fighters to enage in full sparring.
and newbie boxers should go through this for exp..

but on the other hand, for pros who fight at least 6 times a year. they never go this hard when they spar. many people fight to live, so they don't risk their upcoming bouts or their longterm careers. no one said technical light stuff. strikes should be quick but controlled.
