Roy Nelson Working With Mayweather To Sharpen Boxing Game
“We actually started yesterday. He is a very fun guy. He’s a lot like Mo, but he’s also combative. He is a very nice guy and one thing I can honestly say that I didn’t understand is that this guy has great defense. He’s a very fun guy and he’s entertaining. He loves to have fun, even when he’s working out and stuff; he’s a lot like Mo in that aspect. He is a fun guy to work with. My whole thing is that I’m trying to tighten his defense up, maybe increase his hand speed and increase his punch output a little bit. In the first day, I can say I was surprised by his defense. He is a very fun guy to work with, very talkative, combative, and a lot like Mo when it comes to me doing my ‘Doom’ session. But it’s one of those situations where hopefully I can add to him and he will take my advice in the right way and he can pull off this victory. I heard this is a very important fight for him and his UFC career is basically on the line.”
Famed boxing coach Jeff Mayweather talks to FightHype.com about his newest student and UFC heavyweight fighter Roy “Big Country” Nelson.

Thoughts?

So he’s a lot like Mo then?
hahah and don’t forget a fun guy!
how did you know?
Where did you get this ridiculous theory? lol
coulda wrote Jeff Mayweather. i thot it was Floyd.
who the hell is jeff mayweather? lol. i thought it was floyd also
WHO IS JEFF MAYWEATHER????? You have got to be ****ing kidding me. Educate yourself.
jeff is the quiet mayweather,,,i did not even know of him till now..like many people do idiot
He said he was a nice guy… that obviously rules out Floyd
Its a shame that he didn’t mention that he’s a really fun guy…
Hahah this interview is hilarious!
So to summerize, he is fun, combative, and a lot like Mo.
and he has great defense
IF DANA CUTS BC ABD NOT HARDY I WILL FLIP!!!! BC stood three rounds with jds and jds didn’t do shit! Dana you know he has the best chin in the UFC bar none!
Having the “best chin” should be a bad think. You’ve got to get plugged a bunch of times to walk way with that title. That said BC is a UFC staple in my book and will always put on a show win or lose he shouldn’t go.
Brain damage much? Could of said everything in 3 4 sentence he say the same thing a million times over lol
Well Wikipedia is gonna tell me who Jeff Mayweather is.
So it’s Floyd’s Uncle.
He’s a lot like Mo.
OHH LARRDD! I thought he was workin with Floyd “MONEY” Mayweather.
He actually SHOULD work with “Money” Mayweather tho.
floyd jr. is fighting cotto in may.. he’s a world champion not a trainer!
i like how he had that viral 100k likes on facebook campaign, and then chose to stay at HW.
Yeah.. after that facebook BS and with Roy not even commenting on it… he just may have lost 100,000 fans… I mean how hard is it to at least make a comment on that drop to 205 facebook crap. I hope bigfoot KHTFO now.
he made a video on his website about the bet
I thought his fight with Big Foot got booked while the whole Facebook thing was going on though?
Yes you’re right. This is his last fight at HW.
pure niggeer always repeat 3 ties he liee mo and 3 times he a fun guy and 3 times he fun to work with……just llike roy has 3rd loss on the way
You talk like a degenerate moron… I would tell you to get out of here but most of the people who comment on this stuff are the same as you…
I’d def like to see roy nelson knock big foot out. Roy is a great athlete and he goes out to put on great fights for the fans. If his boxing gets better he could have a great future and may actually have a chance at getting a title shot
Avoid damage & dirty boxing…perfect for MMA
and the whole way reading though that interview i thought i kept rereading the first paragraph lol
