McGirt seems to be 4 for 153 as trainer

Buddy sucks as a trainer, he not only gives the wrong advice to his fighters, but I'm hard pressed to find more than 1 example where he motivated his fighter to win in the corner, saying "Baby" after every sentence doesnt count.

 

yea i think arturo should get alot more credit for turning his career&style around than he does,buddy did his bit but give gatti his due.

 

yea and a good trainer should also make sure his fighters come in well prepared and don't overlook their opponents.

 

I think McGirt is a world class trainer, even though his recent record does not reflect that.

But wasn't it Billy Banks that put Toney on a stickly lima bean diet, or something?

 

I thought it was Roach and Banks, either way I find that pretty funny and extremely hard to belief, because he still came in fat. I forget what match it was, maybe Rahman or one of the Peter fights, but Banks was in his corner actually giving him advice between rounds.:rofl

 

it was for the Peter rematch.

 

You are right, it was the now infamous Roach/Blanks team.

I also laughed out loud when the mics picked up Blanks giving between round instruction.

 

I thought it was one of the peter matches, what the hell were they thinking by putting that goof ball in the corner, no wonder why he got outboxed by Peter.

 

never bet on a fighter trained by buddy mcgirt.

 

He's a very good trainer, but his fighters seem to be at the end of their careers. He takes on fighters that are a shopworn 37 or unfocused fighters like paulie.

 

bump

 

Only one I got is where he said to Tarver about giving RJJ too much respect
