That clip was great cpimp!
You can easily recognize the scenery from the countless of videos and pictures.

For example compared with these pictures:

So how was it there?
I bet it has a special vibe of all the Tyson history. Wink

Did you get to meet Rooney aswell?

Btw,...the video quality is superb for a phone camera.

Hey, how can I contact Rooney? I need to learn how to box and need a gym, and I also fit this style, if you dont want to share to public PM ME please, cpimp, or if you dont want to share, thats fine. I just want to change my life, by doing what Cus destined me to do, on november 4.

Sorry was just being spiritual, as cus d'mato died on the same day I was born but differnece in years. For instance he died on november 4, the day I was born but I was born in 1987. But still the november 4 day.

cpimp that is dope that you got to go there, sucks about Rooney leaving the day you showed up.

Any chance you can upload that video to a filesharing place like www.yousendit.com ? I'd love to save that as an mpg or mov or whatever it was & add it to my Tyson collection.

When's your next trip back there?

he called me today and asked me when can i make it back down there. we had like a 10minute conversion about stuff. and non of it was tyson surprisingly.but once i get to know him more he will hear alot from me with tyson questions Very Happy

Thats a cool experience you had, if Rooney wants you to fight just do it, give it a shot, you dont want any regrets.

Start looking for a job in the Catskills area and live there for a few months, you could be the next fighter were all talking about.

In your video theres only One guy there, is it really that empty or do the fighters train at different times of the day ? The gym looks pretty sparse of bags, is that down to the small number of fighters.

Can any one turn up at any time because id love to train under Rooney aswell, maybe in the summer but itd be a *Censor* turning up from the UK to be turned away.

Again cpimp, dont let that be the last time you go there, start working on your fitness now so the next time your there Kevein can work on your technique whithout you gassing

Hey its me again, do you think you can message me Rooney's email. I live in Miami, and theirs no gyms that have that peak a boo style around here. I heard they are looking for people kevin rooney said himself catskills is empty and theres barely any kids. I havent really trained at a gym for a while, and I would like my first experience to be at the catskills gym, just to learn everything there.

actually the gym usually is that empty ahahahaha.not alot of ppl go there cause catskill is 45 minutes away from albany and like over 200 miles from ny city.and theres a lady named nadia that used to work with tyson but u dont see her in the videos. she works with lke the ppl jus there to box and kevin works with the ppl tryin to be pros.when i went like 3 other fights came in but jus for 20minutes and it was jus me and that guy u see in the video. he's been with kevin for 7years,he's from new orleans thats the 1 i sparred.and yeah ne1 can turn up and ask try to get trained. but i wanted to show him how serious i was so thats why i told him ahead of time before i went down there.the guy in the video said he went down there to spar 1 day and kevin liked him and asked him if he wanted to train there and he said yeah. but like i said its mostly empty at the gym since its in th middle of nowhere,no real building or nuttin like that. to make things more pictureable,there was only 1 taxi for the town and it was the same lady and they had a walmart 10miles from catskill.

crimp it is graet that you what to tain with rooney but do not do it because tyson did because when tyson was there he was uncontroleable and had bad intentions i like your sparring but i think you are still to nice and boxing is not a nice game i think you will do well but fans in boxing like to see bad intentions not just a boxing match because think about it would you see a boxing match with two good boxers or would you see a boxing match with a fighter who had bad intentions

actually i do punch with mad intentions. but it was SPARRING and light sparring at that. the guy i wa sparring is really light so i didnt wanna knock him block off. but usually when i spar in very furious. i dont know where it comes from. and i jus wanna try and knock u out with every punch. altough ive only tryed to do that once and it was sucessful.but when i sparring partner comes thats not from my GYM then i will show u my aggression. like i showed this 6'2 guy the other day that was throwing bombs at me until i got fed up and tkoed him in the second round of a 2 minutes sparring session Very Happy
