JD “The Natural” Chapman Interview

[badblood]

This was a sparring session. JD was getting pasted. If I didn't know who either of the guys were, I would've thought Howard was the top ten heavyweight and not vice versa. I can't invest any faith in a Stacy Goodson fighter. Where he gets most of his guys, I dunno.

I know JD personally bro. He was a construction worker/bouncer when he decided to give boxing a go. He contacted Slug Out and the rest was history. Scott Hirsch bought him out from under Goodson and JD has been getting better and better as time goes on. The best thing JD ever did was sign with Scott.

And remember asian. That was a sparring session which is nothing more than a workout. Howard might have went full speed and JD might have not been ready for that. I've seen stuff like that happen before.

Last I checked he won a mandatory shot at the title so I guess that means he must be pretty good.

wasnt chapman offered a fight with povetkin? that would have been a very unwise choice.

Asian.... ask JD who he favors in the Zelenoff vs Hartley superbout.

It was a sparring session and you take it for what it is. That said, why a fighter would let himself get handled that way is beyond me. It was actually Howard who seemed more relaxed than JD. His trainer was telling him to not get frustrated in there but it appeared he was getting ruffled.

As for getting the best of McCline in sparring, I've seen lesser fighters give McCline trouble in sparring before.

I saw JD last month getting handled by a 6-0 cruiserweight named Kasim Howard. It was if he had never seen a left jab before in his life. I was startled at how slow his feet were.

Kasim is a heavyweight and a former respectable amatuer. Doesn't shock me, I have high hopes for Howard. JD needs to throw his own jab, I'll call him tomorrow and see whats up. ANyways, once again, where were you this weekend?
