Can do attitude
The UFC star set up shop at Jorge Capetillo’s gym in Eastside Vegas and found himself running into boxing royalty when Canelo Alvarez stopped by.
“I respect Canelo, even more so outside of the ring than inside because the guy is such a f**king good, humble person,” he said.
“He’ll say hi to everybody that’s in the room. He’ll go out of his way to shake everybody’s hands.
“There’s 200 fans outside, he’ll take pictures with all of them, how he treats his staff, how he treats his trainers.
“And I’ve seen it a couple times he’s just like a f***ing solid and good dude and I really like that about him.
“Then he took time to watch me spar, he took five minutes. He took out of his moment because he’s getting ready to cut weight and do his s**t.
“And bro, nobody wants to talk in those times. I’m a fighter, I’ve been fighting for 20 years once I’m cutting weight and s*** like that.
“I’m just worried about me, focussed about me and he took the time, time to come over and give me five-seven minutes of just like, ‘Look, this works for boxing, this doesn’t. If I were you from what I just saw, I would do this, forget about that and this is how I do it. Maybe you wanna try it like this, maybe you wanna try it like that.’
“And I just thought that was the f***ing coolest thing ever.”
