A Quote by Michael Spinks

I had the greatest sparring partners, I had the greatest sparring team. And these guys they wrapped me up a lot. I never got the chance to get off on them.

Now I am training with sparring partners who are nice people, sure, but not my friends. These are sparring partners who want to knock me out in sparring. In the Croatian media, they said it was 'life and death' sparring - it was not quite life and death, but it was all-out fighting, very hard.

Mirko Cro Cop

For my whole career, I didn't have sparring partners. I was frustrated when I came to the UFC because, after a few minutes of the first round, I would feel dead because I had no sparring partners.

Mirko Cro Cop

For me, it's very hard to train too much, just sparring, sparring, sparring. It's boring.

Gennady Golovkin

I could be sparring mates and you're meant to hit 'em, but we'll be sparring and usually I try and stop at the face, or I don't really try and follow through, but sometimes they walk into them and I say 'oh sorry mate.' They get angry and say 'we're sparring get into it,' but I dunno, I think I'm so used to saying sorry.

Alexander Volkanovski

I had to get up run in the morning for 2 hours, go to the gym and also get good opponents as sparring partners because I'm a big believer in that how you train is how you will fight at least when it came to me that's how it worked.

Alexis Arguello

The standard is the same. Don't get me wrong, the main difference is the number of sparring partners. Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn are the best coaches in the world in my opinion and in many other people's opinion but it really it comes down to the number of sparring partners. I go to my gym and I have 10 fighters fighting on the local level but when you go over there it's like 30 fighters all fighting in the UFC or other bigger shows. That's really the main thing; the numbers.

Anthony Perosh

I bring in the hardest sparring partners you can imagine and I'm going through the guys.

Artem Lobov

I never got to see the '27 Yankees. Everyone says that was the greatest team ever. But I think it would've been a great series if we'd have had the chance to play them.

Mickey Mantle

I've mixed sparring partners up. I've done tons upon tons of rounds with big, heavy lumps who are trying to take my head off.

Tony Bellew

I am always in the gym sparring. I look at every fight kind of like a sparring match.

Chris Weidman

I'm hungry, but I have a good team around me. Good coaches and good sparring partners.

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira

It is true that a fellow cannot ignore women - but he can think of them as he ought - as sisters, not as sparring partners.

Jim Elliot

Sparring is probably the best cardio, but strength training is the best way to prevent the kind of injuries that come from roadwork and sparring.

Mojo Rawley

What I remember most about the 'Road' movies is my enjoyment at watching the two characters sparring with each other. But more important than that was my feeling that Hope and Crosby were enjoying the sparring, too.

Frank Oz

We have coaches to pay, trainers, different sparring partners. There's a cost.

Jessica Andrade

I sometimes look on YouTube and see people label videos 'Anthony Yarde sparring his trainer Ade' but that is not sparring, that's just practice. We practice getting attacked, countering and attacking your opponent back, in intelligent ways.

Anthony Yarde
