Report from Mayweather Camp: 9/1/11

Thanks for the insight, Floyd is still a punk though. I hope Ortiz rings his bell a few times but I fully expect Mayweather to work him over.

Why are you trying so hard to hate? You highlighted specific details within in the story to add validity to my account of what was happening. Nobody was glorifying anything other than what kind of shirt he was wearing, just in case you see it on 24/7 and you'd have a point of reference. The only ignorant one is you. If you go into a bar or club and act outside of the rules of the establishment, the bouncers can eleviate the issue as they see fit. It's no different from someones "personal property". That's his gym and he only has one major rule....DON'T TAKE PICTURES OF VIDEO THE TRAINING SESSION! If someone breaks that rule, then the bodyguards can eleviate that issue as they see fit. It was true...the guy who broke the rule of video taping his sparring was really taking a huge risk....no matter how you slice it. That gangster mentality is what is wrong with this entire country. Act respectable and people will respect you, act like an idiot and people will look at you as one.

Ignorant. Just plain ignorant. Playing with his life? Are you people too stupid to realize this is what is wrong with the entire Floyd scene. Let those dumb****s kill someone or beat them up, then Floyd and some of his entourage will be in legal trouble AGAIN!!!!!! Why are you trying so hard to hate?

You do know the fight is in two weeks? Mayweather is ready to go and just needs to stay sharp thats all. No need to spar 24 rounds now. A good 3 hr workout and thats fine. Plus Mayweather spars longer minutes each round. 5-10min rounds. His whole training camp is only 6 weeks...we're 4 weeks in and the other post I was referring to was last week...so during weeks 3 & 4 he's only doing 3 - 4 round sparring with low end sparring partners...Pac spars with Amir Khan & Ortiz. No sparring in the last week...that's ok...but 2 to 3 weeks prior I'd have to say this is not a good sign...I don't think he's ready. We will see but I'm tempted to put a few bucks on Ortiz.

I sat in on Floyd's training camp yesterday and came away feeling pretty good about how his camp is going. I got there about 2:30 pm and the gym was hustling and busseling along as any boxing gym would be. Roger was there already working the mitts for a couple of fighters (including a female who looks pretty decent in the ring). In between rounds on the mitts, Roger would lean over the ropes and flirt with these two ladies standing ringside. This went on for about 30-45 mins. Suddenly the mood of the gym started to gradually change. Most of the fighters just working out in the gym started to clear out. Then the influx of people I recognized from Floyd camp started to spill in. Garcia walked in and immediately started getting his tape ready. Roger and Nate were already there from earlier, but they both disappeared and , came back with "Mayweather Boxing Club" shirts on. Actor Jackie Long, Zab Judah, came in as spectators while Sechew Powell and Kassim Ouma came in to do work. I heard about Ouma's notorious whoremongering ways and it was on display in the gym. He talked and flirted with every female in the gym, while Powell stayed near the heavy bags throwing punches. The door from the lobby finally opened and preceded by two big bodyguards Floyd walked in. The music started to blast Jeezy TM 101 while Floyd sat down to get his hands wrapped Wow, thats so cool.. Ever the showman, Floyd made it a point to mouth and use hand gestures to insinuate various lyrics of the songsWow, thats so cool.. Sporting a white "BBH" (Billionaire Brotherhood) t-shirtWow, thats so cool. Why are Floyd and his fanatics so obsessed with the appearance of being rich?, Floyd stepped into the ring to spar a rather young non descript fighter without any warm up. The first round (which seemed to last 5-8 mins) was interesting because the guy sparring Floyd actually landed some good shots on Floyd. He got hit way more than I initially expected, but realized this is sparring which also serves as training your body for punch resistance. Towards the end of the round, Floyd started to open is offense up more and the mantra being stated by his camp was "chop the tree down". Floyd ended the round with about 10 designed shots to the body. The second round started and Floyd just began to embarrass the kid. His defense looked more fluid and he started to talk major trash to the kidWow, Floyd was talking trash, so cool.. He mixed his punches up well, and you can sense that there is a major emphasis on working on the inside and at close range. By the end of the round, the kids trainer called it off. Another guy got in the ring, wearing a red polo styled shirt, to give Floyd some work. In the 3rd round of sparring, Floyd spent the first few minutes staying at a distance. In response to all the "are Floyd legs gone" threads, he used his legs alot in this round of sparring. Once they finished with the round, Floyd got out of the ring and went to work the heavy bag. After working the heavy bag, Floyd got back into the ring with Roger and Nate to work the mitts and the body shield. This is when the comedy gold for 24/7 cameras really got ramped up. To show off his ability to be at 147 already while Ortiz is apparently sweating down, Floyd began to drink Moutain Dew instead of water. After about the second go round on the mitts, Floyd started mimicing a matador while staring Roger down and his crew yelling "Ole' ". Floyd finished up and went over to work the speed bag. After working the speed bag, Floyd got back into the ring to do situps and neck work. While this was going on, Roger was sitting over with a white lady and a kid related to Judah and some other guy in glasses. "I'm Black and I'm Proud" by James Brown started blaring over the speakers and the 24/7 cameras got Roger and the kids dancing and singing in their seats whiile the white lady sat there...it was all in good fun and wasn't malicious though. Floyd finished up by doing jump rope and went to change. Everybody spilled into the lobby where his family and crew were watching the Bengals vs Colts football game. Somebody that was in the gym stole Floyd's hand wraps after Garcia cut them off. The whole gym was pissed off and Floyd was visibly pissed as well. Floyd's bodyguard told me and this older couple from D.C. that Floyd does pictures and authographs when he finish changing, but the stolen hand wraps changed the mood of the gym. Overall, Floyd looks good and should put on a good performance. TID BITS: -the gym is a family affair for real. His daughter was there doing homework, his cousins where there, even Zab and his brother Joe was there with a teenaged kid (Floyd made fun of Joe Judah for stuttering while the cameras were rolling, too) Making fun of a persons defects is cool. -Miss Jackson is stunning in person. She wore a form fitting beige dress and you can see every curve she has. Amazingly beautiful. -there were a lot of groupie looking chicks in the gym too. -the gym is uncomfortably hot inside. It was funny seeing all these chicks in make up and heels sit through a 2 hour workout acting like they weren't hot as hell. -Roger is cool and hell! I told him I was from Saint Louis and he went on his "the best fighters of all time come from the midwest" rant -once Floyd hits the gym, the bodyguards makes an announcement to anyone who hasn't been in camp before....NO PHOTOS OR VIDEOS! His bodyguards are HUMONGUS, so the guy that secretly filmed him sparring in the other thread really was playing with his life. Ignorant. Just plain ignorant. Playing with his life? Are you people too stupid to realize this is what is wrong with the entire Floyd scene. Let those dumb****s kill someone or beat them up, then Floyd and some of his entourage will be in legal trouble AGAIN!!!!!!

Only way to find out is to get in a scrap with them. We appreciate you getting back to us with as detailed a report as the thread starter's in this one. :blackeye::bottle: Ex: "Well, I just got in a scrap with Floyd's bodyguards and walked out with a focus mitt jammed in my ass... etc, etc." I've worked out with tank before at flamingo and sandhill. He's actually a preyty decent guy. I kept up with him at bench and dumbells but he smoked me when it came to legs.

Cool! Thanks for the report.

This is the second thread I have read where an insider reports that Floyd spars 3 or 4 rounds with a nobody and then goes to the bag and mitts to finish off his workout. I remember reports years ago where he used to spar 24 rounds. 3 or 4 round sparring sessions sounds like the reports of Tyson prior to the Lewis fight. 2 weeks to go...I don't think he's ready. you don't know what floyd is doing at 3:00 in the morning

Tyson partied hard, was psychologically damaged, and was a shell of himself way before Lewis got to him.

When is Floyds media day

awesome stuff, thanks for the update.

lol somebody stole his handwraps...must be looking for xylocaine evidence:lol1: xylocaine or lidocaine is legal up until a week before the fight:killyou:

For some reason I really hate floyd's body guards. Like I wanna beat their ****in asses. Just because they are big and fat doesn't mean they can scrap.

thats cool how he just went straight into sparring first

Floyd was probably using plaster wraps. Why else would they care bout his wraps so much? Garcia better be in the dressing room watchin that sh*t :lol1::lol1:
