Both guys came to fight, and fight they did! Ray went first, sparring a few rounds with a couple of different guys. We know Ray works extremely hard, and his effort shows more and more each time we see him.

John was still feeling the effects of Marathon Monday (and the three pounds he gained!) but it didn't show one bit. He says he's been working on footwork, and we can tell!

Being six inches and fifty pounds smaller, we thought RayRay was just a little nut-so. He proved us both right, and wrong by looking like a pitt bull! Neither guy held back, and by the end, we think we saw blood from three nostrils...
