Boxer rigorously training for pre-fight weigh-in trash talk
With just six weeks left until his shot at the welterweight championship, challenger Robby Madden is rigorously training in preparation for the pre-fight weigh-in trash talk session.
?I?m giving it my all,? said Madden. ?I don?t want to blow my chance. In boxing, this is how you make your name ? by being outrageous in front of the cameras at the weigh-in. The boxing is important, too, I guess. But as long as I?m flashy and seen as somewhat crazy, I?ll have opportunities for fights far into the future, win or lose.?
Madden says he and his trainer have been watching tapes of some of the greats in order to prepare for his shot.
?Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. ? there?s so much to learn from those guys,? said Madden. ?They are all brilliant in there own way. I think I want to be a homage to all of them. I?ll rhyme like Ali, be insane and violent like Tyson and overly cocky and arrogant like Mayweather. If I can pull it off ? and I?m training 12 hours a day to do so ? it will totally overshadow the fact that I?ll probably be knocked out in a minute or two.?
