UFC lightweight/welterweight fighter BJ "The Prodigy" Penn has been shaking things up in his training camp to prepare for perennial 170-pound contender Jon Fitch, as they will be squaring off late next month. Penn has secured the services of legendary boxing trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. in order to sharpen up his striking for the fight and even enjoyed training under "Joy" so much that he extended his planned stay in Las Vegas by a week.

maybe it is to improve his striking...
After all, Frankie did beat him standing.

If fitch isn't able to drag bj to the ground he is going to get worked. Bj is known to have some of the beest boxing in mma and floyd sr said bj couldn't believe that what he was able to learn under floyd sr. Scary.

This is what I was thinking, if BJs boxing got even better then he might be the first one to knock out Fitch in a very long time.

I don't think anyone will willingly try to drag BJ down :)
On the ground he is just too much with his flexibility. Well, for anyone not named GSP :)

Standing up, while he was already good, he was just beaten by Frankie twice, and this is why i think he looked for help.

I fear for anyone standing in front of a pissed of BJP... I just hope he gets pissed, because every time we count on him putting a show, he doesn't.
