UFC 127 – B.J. Penn works with legendary boxing trainer, Floyd Mayweather Sr. on his stand-up game

Former UFC lightweight and welterweight champion, B.J. Penn has been working with legendary boxing trainer, Floyd Mayweather Sr. over the past week on his stand-up game, and to say fifty-eight year old was unimpressed by what he saw to begin with would be an understatement.
Mayweather says:

 

“BJ Penn is a cool dude man. I’ll be honest, at first, it didn’t seem like he could fight that good. I mean, I don’t know about his ground game and all of that stuff, but he’s got some pop and in just the 3 days I’ve been working with him, he has improved man. In his words, man, he told me, ‘I ain’t never seen some of this stuff you’re showing me man.’ And that’s only after 3 days. BJ is learning fast man. He’s a good guy…If BJ throws his shots the way I got him throwing his shots, he will win. See, those guys throwing shots different than the way we do it, so I’m teaching BJ how to keep it standing and be effective. Let me tell you something man, if he uses it, then it will work.”

Penn takes on welterweight contender, Jon Fitch next month at UFC 127 in Sydney, Australia, with the winner likely to receive a shot at the gold once again. Can Penn repeat his dominant performance against Matt Hughes just a few month ago when he takes on one of the best at 170 pounds?
