![Mirko Cro Cop training with a real camp:
Mirko now trains 1 time per day. After he loss to JDS he decided to go train under the world famous Muay Thai expert Ivan Hypollite of Vos Gym.
"If only I was this smart at the age of 20. After all this I realize that you can not prepare well without a real camp and an authoritative coach. That's the biggest mistake in my career. I was to lazy to go train at an elite camp."
"For example Hyppolite kills me on the pads and then I spar with three partners in a six minute round."
But didn't you do that in your own gym with your croatian sparring partners?
"I did, but then I couldn't spar to KO my sparring partner because those were mostly people who were training with me out of favor to me."
"In Amsterdam it's a battle for life and death. I go for the KO and so does my sparring partner. In the future I think I will do 4 (consecutive) week preparations in Amsterdam."
Mirko departed for Australia today.
