Sometime between throwing a right cross, left jab and consecutive uppercuts, Sam Jones’ Chicago Bulls cap flew off his head during a boxing session at Six-Zero Strength & Fitness last Wednesday morning in Centennial.
Was losing the hat a sign Jones, a Broncos rookie guard, was grinding away in preparation for training camp? Sure.
But, Jones said with a laugh: “In (a) real (fight), it probably means I would have been knocked out.”
During their workout, supervised by former Colorado and NFL offensive lineman Matt McChesney, Jones and Broncos tackle/guard Billy Turner focused on balance and technique before Matt’s brother, Zach, an MMA fighter, put the players through three sets of boxing work.
