No soy hispanohablante nativo, pero creo que significa un sparring sin condiciones (incondicional) o sin experiencia (sin título, no titulado).

Yo tambien lo tomo por el lado incondicional.

Un sparring que aguante todo embate.

Not the partner, but the boxing match itself.

I would say is the partner, and not the match itself. Although in this context probably can be taken as in match.

Chileno tiene razón.

Un sparring es la persona (el contrincante o el adversario) con quien se pelea. Me confundió lo de necesitaban. En ese contexto, pensé en el combate entre sí.

"Necesitaban un sparring para desfogar su inquietud, un sparring sin matices".

Pienso como los demás. necesitan un sparring (alguien que aguante los golpes)
Lo de sin matices es que tiene que aguntar cualquier cosa figuradamente.
Un sparring CON matices diría "no valen golpes bajos, o por la espalda"
Un sparring SIN matices es alguien que debe aguantar cualquier tipo de golpe.
Lo que no sé es si es una figura retórica o realmente es una persona.
Saludos

La verdad, es una figura retórica.

Les estoy agradecido de todos. Su ayuda es inestimable.

La palabra "sparring" es español?

Estoy confundida.......

Necesitaban un sparring para desfogar su inquietud.....

La frase está escrita en español con excepción de sparring..... es que no hay palabra en español que se pueda usar para decir "sparring".... o la palabra "sparring" es como "knockout" que se dice en inglés y todo mundo la entiende y la habla?
