Danny Vaughan boxing trainer...how do he rate him?

Feel the same as you,never been impressed,but he is always talked about highly so I can only assume he is fantastic behind closed doors.

 

His fighters always seem to lose when they step up although they are almost always underdogs in these fights. That’s not a dig, moreso an observation.

 

Dont rate him at all -- been handed some top boxers and done nothing with them. It is failure after failure

I see he is not with johno carroll now either

 

That shot Barnes took could have dropped anybody.

As for Conlan he has always been very vulnerable to the body.

 

Your barking up the wrong tree with Macklin,he was a fanatical trainer and he had an unbelievable workrate for a middleweight/light middleweight.

His punch output,conditioning and desire v Moore,Martinez and Sturm was phenomenal.2 of those 3 fights he was stopped largely because he threw too much at too high a pace,he had an amazing workrate.

 

He has a big reputation but how much is that down to being the son of the legendary Georgie Vaughan and how much is down to being the husband of the CEO of MTK ? I think Stephen Simmons regressed under him and would have had a better career in the Pros if he was with Billy Nelson throughout. I see he has put Barnes and Charlie Edwards in world title fights well too early. Edwards looks 100x better in his last outing with a new trainer. The top MTK fighters many of which have got new trainers in recent times certainly never went with him

 

Going off the fight the other night it seemed a dumb move to go toe to toe with bigger guy that punches a lot harder than you, whether that was the plan or it just happened that way.

 

The only knock on Macklin as a world class fighter was pacing himself..He could hang with anyone with gas in the tank..GGG was the only fighter to do that to him early doors. No shame there !

 

Conlan came up against a fighter (Ancajas) whom I would personally put in my top ten p4p list. I’m a big fan of his, his jab is one of the best in the business imo. My point is, there’s no shame losing to him.

 

I remember that, it was horrific commentary from Rawling and Woodhall; Rawling in particular. It was quite clearly a delayed reaction from the bodyshot and Rawling was insisting it was a knee injury. Then after the bell rang you could clearly hear DV in the corner say "delayed reaction" and Rawling starts speculating whether it was an ankle injury.

Going off-topic here but Rawling has been **** poor recently, especially for calling Wilder a southpaw.
