Q & A wit RR....

And did any of you know that @robjenkins2 likes to hang out in the locker rooms in MMA gyms around the time training lets out? Probably not. But that's because we need more threads like this.

Looooooool, man this one got me.
 
How much road work/running is involved and how does it vary in camp versus year-round, so to speak?

Very prevalent in camp. Swimming as well. Even on Sundays (off days) guys run sprints for about 45 minutes. Training is pretty much year round. Normally you give the guy a month to 45 days after a fight and then they start getting in shape again. That always starts with road work/swimming
 
Great, this should go as well as RR's last "Q & A".

Any truth To the rumor I started that you are actually peter McNeally's sparring partner? And if so we're you ever wrapped up in his "cocoon" of terror?

LOL, cocoon of terror, LOL that brings back memories... or was it horror? Can't remember now...
 
@RR

how prevalent are PEDs in boxing? give an honest answer. No names needed.
 
Here's one that I think would be interesting. What are some stories you know of fighters laziness or losing focus? (drinking/partying, weed/cocaine, disregarding training) I mean we tend to think of top fighters as super heroes, but we've all heard stories of the Chavezs (Sr and Jr), the Whitakers, Tysons.

Dont have to name names of course. @RR

I will answer this one during the 2nd half or after the game since I have a ton.

I had a condo of 3 fighters (they were staying with two trainers as well (which ultimately got them fired) sneak over to a fat girl's place and get wasted like 2 spots down all the time. They hid it pretty good until sparring got serious. Weed is not a huge issue. Guys smoke it but I have never had it make any difference whatsoever. It kills their cardio and diet so they don't really fuck with it unless they are really stupid. Only two fighters ever on coke and they got sent home. One nearly got arrested at a strip club. Had the cop not been cool he would have been fucked because he allowed him like 20 phone calls until my fiance' finally answered my phone and woke me up. She legit figured someone had died as it was like 4:15 on a Thursday morning.

Wait two questions. Why did the trainers get fired? And how did you guys manage to figure the 2 fighters on coke in the gym? They must have been deep into it if they were doing in at the gym during training?

So did this partying ever ruin any of the fighters you knew? Or was it just a bump in the road that they overcame?

If you are going to live with the guys as a trainer that means your expenses are paid too. It is your job to make sure they aren't fucking up. Not exactly the worst babysitting job in the world. Real easy, you here a rumor and just check out their eyes. Very easy to tell. Dehydrated after a round, talk way too much, keep rubbing their nose, ect...Plus, the rumors are there because guys talk. Not really actually. They were just partying with chicks and sometimes using it because they stayed up all night playing video games.

Of course. Alcohol was way worse then drugs though from what I saw. i still know boxers who drink
