Gvozdik on sparring with Alvarez: 'I wasn't a beating bag'

Alexander Gvozdyk

Former WBC World Light Heavyweight Champion Alexander NailsI remembered how his sparring with the owner of all the belts of the second middle division went Saul Alvarez.

“I will 100 percent say that I was not a beating bag. At first it was harder, but we did not start with long sparring. It was three or four rounds. Then gradually increased. Throughout the entire training camp, I never once felt that I was beaten. To be honest, Alvarez did not set such a task.

Three more boxers worked with us, Canelo had only four sparring partners, and it seems that I was the least flown,” said the Ukrainian.
