Read what Atwell had to say about camp to Stabroek Sport’s Emmerson Campbell after one week of training at the Gleason’s Gym in Brooklyn, New York.
The undefeated fighting pride of Guyana 12(7)-0-1is scheduled to face WBC featherweight titlist, Mexican, Jhonny Gonzalez 55(47)-8-0 in Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico in two weeks.
EC: How was your first week of training?
CA: It was great and somewhat intense. It brought back a lot of memories being in the place where my mentor the late Donald Allison once trained and seeing his photos on the wall with some of the other great fighters gave me a feeling that I was in the right place.
EC: Have you seen and felt any difference since training in the USA?
CA: Yes, being shadowed by a lot of the big name fighters of Guyana has really opened my eyes
