00:00Very valuable tools of his trade Leonard and and in the past he has had some

00:11issues with his hands how how does he maintain now at 38 and with his 48th

00:16professional camp is there extra attention quickest guy I think he's ever

00:19gonna face a salt pond let's face it even though he's a to know against

00:23left-handers we know what happened against Zab Judah what's happened

00:26against DiMarco's chop-chop poorly

00:32hyper-aggressive Pac-Man remember George Foreman in particular was always one who

00:37is really big on talking about the importance and the lack of use and many

00:41price fighters have a good stiff jab to the chest you know just you saw my Donna

00:45do it against Adrian Broder that's up the left dog exactly is he no longer

00:49having the it's 3 a.m. I've decided I'm gonna go and run for 10 miles kind of

00:55a thing is it much more disciplined instructors it's still same old boy

00:58still like you'll just keep on doing that it's it's like um you don't have

01:05like what we do we don't do the conventional you know 8 10 12 pyramid of

01:11rounds you just go by feel you control yourself and you know when your body

01:15needs to rest you get that rest in and as far as the boxing part you know a

01:19fortunately it's a contact sport you know things are going to happen there's

01:23gonna be black guys and bloody noses and split lips and all the other stuff I had

01:27Bernard Hopkins on the show and he had we talked about it he said he was

01:30willing that the Golden Boy promotion you know he's part of that they were

01:34gonna put up millions of dollars to maybe try to implement more of this

01:37random drive and it's going to take all like you say all entities and because of

01:41the patchwork of commissions and the fact that there's no national identity

01:44or entity for commissions I think that is something that has also hurt the

01:48sport of boxing and here we are now where we have the PBC on on all these

01:53network

02:03what a good chin he has that we can count on the fingers of one hand and

02:08still have a couple of digits left over the number of times that he has been

02:11brought like that and part of it obviously is his tremendous defensive

02:14part of it also is the ability to absorb that punch and that's why neck strength

02:18is so important I mean with guys like Mike Tyson for example who also was able

02:22to take an enormous amount of punishment
