- Glen Johnson shadow boxing. You can't tell from this view but Johnson actually looks to be in great shape. (Joe Roche/ 411mania.com)
- Johnson on the speed bag showing off. This was easily the highlight of Johnson's workout - the TV media were taking video and Johnson was just using one hand on the speed bag while making a fist with his left. (Joe Roche/ 411mania.com)
- Johnson doing a TV interview. TV guys are like super villains they disappear before you notice they're around. I saw this particular guy show up a little after me, he talked to Johnson, found Dawson and talked to him and was gone in about ten minutes. It takes longer to fill my gas tank.

- Johnson working the mitts. One thing I didn't get pictured is after Johnson throw some punches at the mitt's his trainer would run across the ring and Johnson would have to cut him off. Great training exercise for a guy who chased Dawson in the first fight and never cut the ring off. (Joe Roche/ 411mania.com)
- Johnson on the heavy bag. I have about fifty pictures of Johnson on the heavy bag and for some reason this is the only one that even remotely came out, like the bag is made of a giant magnet or something. (Joe Roche/ 411mania.com)
- Chad Dawson and former welterweight champion Marlon Starling. Starling was the highlight of the whole afternoon but Dawson gave a look at one point like Marlon was telling him that swine flu came from moon rocks. (Joe Roche/ 411mania.com)
- Dawson getting loose in the ring. I have a crazy theory that the greatest fighters of all time are never seen with their children -- so it bears notice that the small child in these pictures is Chad Dawson's son. (Joe Roche/ 411mania.com)
- Dawson with his coach Eddie Mustafa Muhammad. I've run across Eddie a couple of times and he's always wearing this exact thing -- his Yankee hat still has the tags on it, I'm not kidding. (Joe Roche/ 411mania.com)
- Dawson shadow boxing. Somehow I took two hundreds pictures this afternoon and this is the only one where someone is even close to throwing a punch. (Joe Roche/ 411mania.com)
- Dawson on the speed bag. This came out better on video. (Joe Roche/ 411mania.com)
- Alfredo Angulo shadow boxing. I don't know much about Angulo but I do know that every time I took a picture he looked at me like I just spit in his hair -- needless to say I didn't take many pictures of him. (Joe Roche/ 411mania.com)
- Angulo jumping rope. Angulo did not do interviews which was odd for a media workout but he did jump rope for a solid half hour. (Joe Roche/ 411mania.com)
- Former light heavyweight champion Eddie Mustafa Muhammad (left) and former welterweight champion Marlon Starling (right). These two were talking about the "good old days" which if you're a media member is always a conversation you want to hear. The funniest thing Eddie said was that his mindset was to do things on his own because when the bell ring he always went one way and his team always went the other. That killed me (Joe Roche/ 411mania.com)
