Lakers' Center Bynum "Training" with Freddie Roach

6

This only has a peripheral interest for boxing fans, as there is almost no chance Bynum will actually step into the ring, but Yahoo Sports reports (via Twitter) that Andrew Bynum has begun boxing training with Freddie Roach. Roach, who probably isn't giving Bynum a whole lot of face time, gets another celebrity feather in his cap, and Bynum, who has been trying to shed his early career reputation for being too soft, is looking to stay in shape in the face of the NBA lockout and probably hoping some "tough guy" shine rubs off on him from the boxing training.
