"Man, it's an experience. I learn something new every day. Being in the ring with the best in the world, I'm speechless. I'm just learning how to be a smarter fighter...Mayweather is the hardest worker I've ever seen. He works all day long and never tires. Dude's a beast," stated jr. middleweight contender Deandre "The Bull" Latimore, who is currently in Floyd Mayweather's training camp helping him prepare for the September 17th showdown with Victor Ortiz. After working with Mayweather in camp, Latimore is convinced more than ever that Mayweather is the best in the world. Check out what he had to say!
DK: What's going on Bull? What is it like being in training camp with Floyd Mayweather?
DL: Man, it's an experience. I learn something new every day. Being in the ring with the best in the world, I'm speechless. I'm just learning how to be a smarter fighter.
DK: Mayweather's training sessions are known to be legendary and only a select few get to actually witness it. How hard does Floyd actually push himself?
DL: Mayweather is the hardest worker I've ever seen. He works all day long and never tires. Dude's a beast.
DK: What is it doing for you as a fighter being in camp with Mayweather?
DL: It's making me 100% better knowing I can be in camp with him.
DK: What's next for Deandre Latimore?
DL: I don't know what's next for me. At this point, I'm just focusing on getting Floyd ready and we'll go from there.
DK: We've all heard that Mayweather sometimes goes 12-15 minutes per round in sparring and switches out sparring partners without giving himself a break. Is that true?
DL: I don't wanna give nothing away about what Floyd is doing in training to get ready, but a couple years ago, I told my trainer I thought he was the best in the world and after working with him, nothing's changed my mind.
DK: When can we see you back in the ring Bull?
DL: It depends on how hard my promotional team works. To be honest, I don't know how hard they're working.
DK: Alright Deandre, appreciate the time?
DL: No problem.
