While describing his sessions training sessions with ‘TBE’ in an episode of the Steven Sulley podcast, Theophane said, “Sometimes watching Floyd spar is better than his fights. Because a lot of times he has walls in there. So like there would be some fights where I said Floyd was gonna KO the guy.”

“Sometimes it was weird for me, like in sparring he would go to war. Like in the Guerrero fight, I thought he was going to KO him. Because in the sparring every day, he was going to war with big guys,” he added.

“Then when he came to the fight, he just float around the ring and box. So I always found it weird how in sparring Floyd would stand there and fight and just go at it. And then it would come to the fight, then he would just turn and just box and move,” Theophane concluded.
