session now you're probably thinking hang on a minute tony Sugar Ray Leonard still sparring now or
tony you're always talking about brain health and not getting punched in the head anymore
what you're talking about well a little disclaimer it was a virtual
sparring session it wasn't the same as a normal sparring session yes we didn't punch each other in
the face but we still had a great workout and he was throwing punches at me and i was throwing
punches at you and i'm going to show you that on this video and explain what it was like to
