| interesting considering Mayweather Sr basically teaches all of his fighters the shoulder roll technique and base (Mayweather, De La Hoya and Guzman as examples) and I dont know how the hell that will work in mma if Penn actually tries is. | |

| “I work with a couple [MMA fighters] now and I’m all for it,” he explains. “I don’t know shit about that ground stuff, but I can get their defense tight and get them throwing their shots right..”
Gotta love Floyd Joy Mayweather Sr. | |

| That wont stop him from being taken down. Not saying Fitch will take him down over and over but thats the way BJ would lose, if it stay's on the feet BJ will have a win streak once again and at 170 this time! | |

| BJ is well known for having above average takedown defense. I think sharpening his striking can be the difference between trying to fend off the clinch for fifteen minutes and rocking Fitch's world. | |

| BJ has some of the best takedown defense in MMA, not simply above average, but he'd have a significant striking advantage regardless, would raher hear he's training cardio and wrestling because that's where Fitch can beat him. But...
BJ first to KO Fitch | |

BJ first to KO Fitch I agree I would def have rather him bring in someone for his cardio and wrestling since he's facing Fitch. But I'm still confident that he'll be able to land the better strikes and atleast be very hard for Fitch to takedown. | |
