      I got to spar with him as well, he was very fast and moved in an awkward way. I never got to spar with Joel Julio but I did spar one of his guys from Colombia that was at the gym and he gave me a good lesson in speed and movement.

      I'm older now so I can't go like I used to but it's fun just to be in there with those guys.

      Solis hitting the mitts with Pedro Diaz was like hearing 2x4's break, that dude has some serious power.

          Emanuel Steward talked on video about, how Evander Holyfield doesn't like to spar. When he was training Evander for his bout against Bowe, Manny had to emulate Bowe's movements while holding the pads.
