'BOOM-BOOM' HOLDS FIRST FLORIDA WORKOUT!


PhilBoxing.com




TAMPA, FLORIDA--Leathers flew like crazy and mitts were battered no end at the Hyatt Regency Tampa here. And yes, the treadmill at the gym was working on full load as well.

This as undefeated Rey 'Boom Boom' Bautista did his first major workout here after arriving last night from Los Angeles, determined to put himself in the best shape possible for this Saturday's (Sunday in RP) showdown with Brazilian Giovanni Andrade.

Bautista did a 30-minute light jogging this morning outside of the hotel premises, and quickly followed it up with some abdominal exercises.

In the afternoon, the young phenom buckled down to work with trainer Edito Villamor and promoter Sammy Gello-ani, who also worked out at the gym.

After 10 minutes on the treadmill and 3 minutes cooling down, Boom-Boom did two rounds of shadow-boxing and another two rounds hitting the mitts with trainer Villamor. The young fighter then moved on to the adjacent pool area, where he shadow-boxed again for the media.

Promoter Gello-ani, apparently still on cloud nine following his purse bid victory over Bob Arum for the right to stage Z Gorres-Fernando Montiel showdown, also run 30 minutes on the treadmill.

In the evening, Golden Boy Promotions' Richard Schaefer and Eric Gomez met up with Team Bautista at the hotel lobby, where Gomez pointed out that 'Boom Boom' should look good on Saturday as a May 5 bout awaits him on the Oscar De la Hoya-Floyd Mayweather card.
