this is Terry Norris today
Terry Norris suffered bad KO's in his career, I mean Julian Jackson is regarded as the most devastating puncher around those weight classes in history
, this KO probably caused his condition by itself
Only way to learn how to fight is to fight, you gotta get that hard sparring

one KO doesn't cause CTE, it is the consistent concussions over time. The majority of damage done to boxers brains is done in sparring.
Yes it does, One KO can you kill you
you never fully recover from a KO like thats long term damage especially when you out like that
When Manny 54 he might be the same way because of the Marqeuz KO
but Terry Norris was dog type of fighter, I take and give it type style, so he took lot of damage almost 60 fights
that's mayweather promoted defense first, because all that damage adds up over time
mayweather spar hard but he don't take a lot of damage
if you taking a lot of damage in sparring they usually pull the fighter out for the day

Going hard in sparring takes a big toll definitely if you are doing it several times a week

I agree 100, but there's levels to it.
But getting to that stage takes a period of uncertainty and tremendous fear in the ring, which invariably, is a period where you are a liability for yourself and the opponent. People fight off emotion, fear, bravado until they understand the mechanics and can temper their heart rate and conquer their vulnerability in the ring.
- There's a time and a place for consistent, hard sparring, but generally that's reserved for stablemates that train a lot together and know each other well.

I disagree.
Sparring hard is essential.
So is defense.

My point exactly
Sparring hard is the best way to get u ready for a fight, no debate in that.
Can it cause u long term affects, absolutely.
It sucks for the fighter.

People have to find a medium, I think that's agreed upon
If u trained under Stewart he would probably slap u if u told him that, I mean it is what it is… it’s like basketball, the more u shoot the better I gonna shoot.

There's a difference between sparring smart and destroying your fighter
