So we were at The Wild Card Gym on Tuesday checking out Amir Khan as he prepares for his upcoming title defense in Washington D.C. against Lamont Peterson. While there we got to chatting with Freddie Roach as he asked us what kind of a guy Nick Diaz was. We answered as any other honest person would answer, “the dude is kinda weird.” Roach shook his head and started chatting with us about some of the mistakes Nick Diaz has in his stand up game, though that is from another video and article.
Our conversation somehow shifted over to UFC light heavyweight Dan Henderson. A few years back, Henderson would stop by and work boxing fundamentals with Freddie. Freddie noted it was a fun experience working with Henderson and our fight correspondent Marcos Villegas asked him a interesting question, “How hard does Dan hit with his right hand?”
“He has decent power, he’s too stocked up on his stance though, he needs to relax a bit,” said Roach. He then told us about the first time he met Dan and how jokingly Roach threw a kick in which Henderson immediately put the boxing trainer in a clinch. “He’s a strong mother ******,” recounts Roach. Check out the story below!
