But why there was a bench in cus's gym if they dont use that i dont understand that http://hogonsports.com/?cat=45 <- video in down of that site proof's that.
well i didnt see a wieght bench but if there was one, maybe it was used for light warm ups or for the lighter fighters to bulk up some. but tyson never lifted wieghts while he was under rooney!
and i agree with d'amato, weight training will slow a fighter down
