By Brendan Taylor: Trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. has never been short for words throughout the course of his life in boxing, Wednesday afternoon was no different. I got a chance to talk to him at the media workouts for Mickey Bey (22-1-1, 10 KO’s) and IBF lightweight champion Rances Barthelemy (24-0, 13 KO’s) for thier fight tonight at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, in Hollywood, Florida. He spoke very glowingly of his fighter Mickey Bey who’s coming in on a 4-fight win streak since his TKO loss to John Molina in 2013.
“Mickey Bey is faster, slicker, more clever and hits harder, you will see that” said the senior version of Floyd Mayweather. There’s no doubt that this is the biggest fight for Bey since 2013, he comes into this bout in the latter stages of his career against a younger, undefeated champion in Barthelemy.
