Thanksgiving report from Paul Williams’ training camp in Arlington, VA.

"Thanksgiving is the same ole', same ole' for me.  I trained on Thanksgiving Day, so it's just another day.  The only difference is that we (trainer George Peterson and I) shared a meal with George Peterson’s family members.  The best part is Thanksgiving was enjoyable for me because I ate all the turkey and fixings that I liked.  My workout regiment burns everything I eat right through so I am can have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner."

 

"Of course I miss my family and would have loved to spend this Holiday with them but this is all business right now and I understand that.  One thing that makes me feel even better about this is that we (Paul's family) will be spending Christmas together."

 

Thanksgiving report from Sergio Martinez’ training camp, Port Hueneme, CA

“Traditionally, I don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, but I will this year with my team.  I am very excited about it because turkey is my favorite.  I trained in the morning, rested in the afternoon and had dinner with my team last night.  Weight is not an issue with me and I had my cook, Cicilio Flores, prepare something special.”

 

Martinez is training at the World Crown Sports Training Facility. At the dinner table were head trainer Gabriel Sarmiento, assistant trainers Cicilio Flores and Juan Molina.
