I'm pretty sure he always talks to himself at least in his head while he's training, comes from being brought up that way with someone (his dad) always talking over his shoulder when in the gym since he was little. He probably even does it during fights, helps keep the mind clear and reinforce what needs to be done. It's a kind of trance for him to enter into and it helps. Might not work for everyone, though
Wait, everyone doesn't do that? I'm always in the middle of a personal dialogue. From the moment I wake to the moment I fall asleep.

Its an interesting behaviour. I do analyze intellectual and other complex topics and problems most efficient in a dialogue with myself. The imaginative aspect helps the brain find creative solutions. Speaking even without voice is not only a result of a thought, it shapes the thoughts itself into form.
People with social isolation also tend to speak with themselves. I guess its kind of an emergency software within outselves as we are determined social creatures by nature.
This sound to me like someone trying to make something more complex then it is to sound smart.
Personally I don't understand why some professional boxers have to talk while doing heavy bag work lol.
Maybe for promotional material.
Can you imagine if someone in the standup forum posted a heavy bag work video and started talking like this while working on the heavy bag.
I think we'd all think there was something wrong with him.
