    Spar with my trainer, Acacio "Flash" Simbajon. The guy fought Pacquiao during their younger days and it was a close fight.

    I spent some time at John Young McCormack Gym in dublin(he trained collins as an Amateur) when Nacho Berstein was using the place for two weeks. John Young McCormack would smoke cigars in the gym !I am amazed any of his fighters survived the smell LOL

    Adrian Arreola-who kod Pintor and Gave a young Chavez all he wanted. I did well but then again he wasnt at his best and i out weighed him.

    Efren Chavez- A good friend of mine who fought Johnny Tapia to a draw(Efren deserved it) and was a very talented fighter whos career ended early due to accident outside the ring.
    Anyways i was training with him about 8 or 9 years ago to just get in shape, we sparred but he was in excellent shape a fit 145 and i was a pudgy 190. He was too sharp for me as he still trains fighters and stays in shape. He would have been a champ or top contender had he not been forced to retire.

    I've fought a couple of ABA champions, made the ABA Semi's 3 times along the way - although I definitely should have won 1 of them, and the kid I would have been facing in the final, I already had a win over. (dodgy judges! :mad:).

    Sparring - I sparred a good few England ABA champions, I won't name them all, but keep an eye out for Anthony Fowler.
