I haven't heard any types of noise coming out of Jackson's camp talking about BJ being a world beater out there or overly impressing anyone since he has been training there. He has been there a while now. Usually if an unusual character like that joins a new camp, you usually hear some sort of ramblings about how good they are in sparring or how impressed everyone in the gym and the coaches are. That doesn't mean it may not be happening, but as a Penn fan that worries me some. I really don't want to see BJ take another embracing loss like that again.
I also sit back and wonder if he has just enough left in the tank to allow the best trainer in the business help out his career the way he has done with so many other struggling fighters that were stacked with talent. We usually see so many guys turn things around really well at Jackson's camp. Not all of them, but most guys really pick up their game. I just wish that BJ would have done this years ago, before taking so much time off between those unnecessary beatings he created for himself against Diaz and Rory. Frankie is the last guy you want to fight after a year and a half lay off. I don't care who you are.
This will be a very interesting fight in my opinion for BJ. I just hope he wins and retires for good.
