Why was Gerry Storey absent from Frampton's corner?

[Celtic Warrior]

Where was Storey?

And, what do you think of Shane MaGuigan as main trainer?

[Jonsey]

i think Storey was there for the first part of the career as shane is a new trainer.

He seems good. I like the fact that he is a 360 trainer, in that he is a boxing trainer, conditioner and nutritionist. don't think theres many other trainers that do all 3, and have the knowledge Shane has when it comes to the science side.

The two of them work together with Carl.

The lad's in the Irish thread in the General Forum might be able to answer that one.

Could be a massive gamble. Shane McGuigan is young and very inexperienced. Seems a clever lad and he and Carl have chemistry but will be able to do what's needed if Frampton finds himself in a VERY sticky situation in a fight? Someone on another thread raised that point and it's a very good one. I don't know of any other trainers McGuigan has trained other than Flintoff for his "fight".

True but not everyone is an Adam Booth. Some young coaches are handed talented fighters and fuck it up. Anthony Farnell when he was training Tony Bellew is one example that sticks out in my mind. Although Bellew never lost under him his style became erratic and at times clumsy, he and Farnell just didn't gel together at all.

I think its all about chemistry when it comes to trainers. theres only a handful of trainers that have had 5+ world champions and stand out above the rest.

Booth for example has it with Haye & Groves but doesn't appear to have it with others. For me it looks like Frampton has it with Shane McGuigan.

If your good enough your old enough, Shane's been around the game for a long time and he's got his dad there for advice as well as learning from Gerry. I think he's done well with Frampton thus far.

I think he's got a way to go before seeing how good he really is but he's started off well enough.

[FIN]

Shane is an intelligent lad,he is a trainer,nutritonast and a conditioner,his father also gives him advice so Id say he has the makings of a very good trainer..

[leo_messi]

seems decent.

I mean obviously he is an asset from the nutritional and conditioning point of view.

As far as boxing tactics, training and nouse, he seems to be doing well so far.
