Earlier today, undefeated pound-for-pound champion Floyd Mayweather was broadcasting live on UStream during training camp and if you were fortunate enough to tune in, you were in for treat. To the surprise of those that were watching, Mayweather donned his headgear, stepped into the ring and began sparring with up-and-coming jr. middleweight Omar Henry, who was once nicknamed "Cotto Clone" for having a similar fighting style to that of WBA jr. middleweight champion Miguel Cotto. This might be the first time that fans have ever seen any video of Floyd Mayweather sparring since the infamous sparring session he had with Paul Spadafora, as he normally prohibits any cameras from filming while sparring sessions are taking place.
"These fighters are a joke today," Mayweather could be heard saying as he was laughed and taunted Henry during the sparring session. Despite the fact that Henry was the bigger man inside the ring, Mayweather was making it look easy as he picked him apart while the rounds progressed from 3 minutes to 5 minutes on to 7 minutes. "Stay the fuck up outta my face, punk," Mayweather yelled at the end of round. "You fight me to the death." As the action continued, Henry was beginning to take more punishment, which prompted Cornelius Boza-Edwards to suggest calling a halt to the sparring session.
