As you see - she's very tall and strong and so often imagined SUPERWOMAN. And Primo Garnera was maybe not so durable, but very strong. And it must be reasons for him, to take a woman as a sparring partner in 30's. Maybe he was bored very much, when his male sparring partners were knocked out after few seconds and couldn't stay his powerful attacks. And for her is definitely NO PROBLEM to break a brick or bend a metal pipe over her mighty knee.

He probably only sparred with her because she was a tall 6"4. In the 1930's, Heavyweights weren't usually 6"3-6"4. That was rare, it was only when Ali came around that things changed. His male sparring partners were probably better because they can actually box, she can't.
