I may have paraphrased, but Imam's team clearly didn't think they'd have any defensive issues, so didn't even train for it.
I know a guy that sparred with Imam. He told me he was all fast hands and flash; couldn't fight at all inside. They flew him to NY but sent him home after 3 days but paid him for the week.
