“Let me tell you something man, first of all, he’s a 23-year-old kid, man. He ain’t about nothing. He was in the gym hitting the bag. I told him, I said, ‘Hey man, you hitting that bag with some good power, but you don’t have any skills behind it. You gotta mix in some skills and not just throw power shots at it.’ He got pissed off and said he would knock me out, so we got in there…I hit him with damn near every counter right hand that I threw…He was just a 23-year-old punk, man. I’m all good my man,” staed world-class trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr., who gave details about a recent video that surfaced showing him and a much younger man going to toe-to-toe in what appears to be a sparring session, albeit without headgear, that turned ugly. Check out what he had to say.
PC: Big Floyd, do I need to send the goon squad out to Vegas?
FM: (Laughing) Nah man, everything is good.
PC: Well, you are in one of the most watched videos on YouTube right now, sparring some kid that tried to sneak you on two different occasions.
FM: Man, it’s crazy how fast shit can get out nowadays, man.
PC: All you need is a camera phone, and it looks like they had about 50 of them there (laughing).
FM: You right, man. Everybody pulled out their phones and was videotaping it.
PC: How did it get to the point where you were in the ring with gloves on with this kid?
