Dean Powell gets over involved in corners for me. Errol was trying to give gethin advice a few rounds earlier and he was shouting over him.
If Rees beats Crolla he will go after a world title, i can see eddie trying to put on a double header world title bill in wales with rees and selby.
He's shocking Smog, Nelson told him to shut up and i thought about bloody time. Tony Sims is spot on when working with McCracken. ''Yeah keep the jab going Carl. It's working well''. Just a small bit as Carl gets himself up off stool and it echo's the trainers thoughts. Powell just steams in..
I know that feeling my brother, it has nothing to do with pain (I know what you mean though) obviously not on the level of a twelve round world title eliminator, but heres how it goes 1) you get a smack on the nose, you know its busted but it cant be that bad, we've all had busted noses before 2) face starts going numb, this is when you realise it's not just busted, its broken 3) you try to breathe in, and all of a sudden you're breathing in blood, I can only imagine being in a 12 rounder and having a really badly broken nose and trying to fight on for another few rounds, and remember at this point you're already pretty tired so breathing in quite hard at this point, and you're not getting air, you're getting blood down your throat This is why I stuck up for Paul McCloskey when he fought through 12 rounds agains Prescott with a broken nose from the 2nd round onwards, and I got **** for it
I agree with the criticism about Powell. I'm sure he knows the fighters well and what their assets are, and he can probably read the opponent well too, but the job of instructing the fighter should go to the head trainer. He's the one who has studied the opposition and knows his fighter inside out, so he should be the one to give clear, concise instructions in the corner. If Powell wants to give out instructions, he should do that before a fight but I feel the job of guiding a boxer during a bout should always be down to the head trainer.
Gethin had a perforated eardrum apparently. I hate it when people criticize fighters for quitting sometimes, especially after it's clear they'd been trying to win. None of us know how much pain he was in or what was going through his mind so it's not really fair to pass judgement.
Yeah, I noticed that as well. He was obviously in a lot of distress and finding it very hard in there, it looked like he was almost in tears at one point when he was sitting on his stool during the interval.
hefron as he left arny now good move if he as why is he boxing at that weight just a punch bag for six rounds
