I trained at the Mayweather Gym with Boza being my trainer until I just didn't have enough time to go anymore.Comment

Well you said ANY so I can post here. I was only in the gym for 3-4 months in 2009 before I had medical problems and had to stop going. It was a small gym with only 3 guys that actually fought amateur and the rest were there just for training and exercise, like me. There wasn't much sparring when I first got in except for the amateurs, but the last 2 weeks before I left almost everyone got in on a little bit of sparring. The sparring I did was mostly just practicing throwing and blocking jabs and straight punches. I loved it though and I miss it. I was looking in to getting back in, but then I found out the trainer lost the gym and they don't have anywhere to train at the moment, which sucks.Comment

I've trained for quite a bit, most notably in Lima Peru I put in some good work.
I'm in Law School now and I want to train, but I don't have the time nor energy to get some work. Unfortunately, I don't have any great stories. I did put on a Manny Pacquaio type of beating (lol, hyperbole) on a middleweight one time. I'm a Welterweight usually and was chief sparring partner for this guy as he was prepping for a fight who is light on his feet like me. I beat this guy up for like 8 rounds. They ended up canceling his fight because it was clear that he was going to get hammered with someone who's his size with more powerComment

I was wondering how this story would end. I'm glad to see you didn't house that dude. Evidence you're a good guy.Ive been boxing for years still in the ams now fight 178.
I got a story from a few weeks ago. You know every now and then you get the guys who lift weights and think that somehkw qualifies them to be the next Tyson, well our gym is in a fitness center so were surrounded by them. Alotta times when im training bunch of meatheads will walk by then stop and watch thats when I gotta turn it up let em know, well this one boy thought hed come get some work. He claimed he fought in "MMA" underground...riiiiight.
Anyway he came ****** the bag a couple times and I already saw he had bad form. Probably learned it from a youtube video. After 2 rounds he asked if I wanted to spar with him. My trainer laughed and told him that he wasnt ready for that. But as the boy kept saying he does "MMA". 1 round, I made this ngga quit after jabbin him to the body and landin one left hook.
Hes been keepin it to lifting since.
(You know those cats that are in it just to hurt people.) I've found that most boxers are pretty decent human beings. They'll lay off when their opposition is beneath them.
