Roy dippin his hands in various things he just livin his life at this point anything after his own career has been half assed
RJJ pontificating to a 23 year old possible great on camera is a joke and another one of his stunts for the camera. Jones is the kinda guy that believes his own BS, and I hope the kid drops him like a bad habit once he sees the video for the set up it was...
It was a mistake for Anderson to do this. He’s just showcasing his mental weakness for all to see. He’s still only a prospect and already cracking under the pressure.
Think he's got so much on his plate already the guy's all over the place doubt he would care too & with his age & all i wouldn't blame him.
Yeah i agree from what i see Roy just seems to be there but doesn't seem to ever give his all to training even when he is at the pressers sitting down & so, everything seems to be a bonus for him in his age now.
He's good for a pep talk here and there. But it's always odd when guys known for being totally unique fighters who break all the established rules and fight on instinct (like Jones was known for) try to become trainers. What's he going to teach Jared Anderson? How to do the "rooster pose" he used against Glen Kelly? This content is protected
Fighters need to stay away from Jones. He taught Eubank Jr. how to keep his hands down and he got ****ed up by Smith.
Reminds me of a story about Willie Pep when he gave up training a heavyweight because he can't move like Willie.
"You want to make the money to change the world, right?" Wtf!!! Who the F believes that crap? But well, even if he started the speech with this BS, he's mostly right in what he says. He does not talk about boxing anyway, he talks about motivation mostly (related to boxing or not). I love RJJ as a fighter, he's one of the best fighters I've ever watched if not the best. But as a trainer I dont like him. Training a fighter is not to teach him to mimic you. You need to teach different things to different fighters, you cant train the same way "el chino" maidana and crawford. You just cant, period. And RJJ insinsts on teaching HIS boxing, and what he should teach is HIS PUPIL'S boxing, wich is very different. Seeing Eubank Jr trying to mimic RJJ is just cringe.
Hunger trains heart. I'd say even more, a baby trains heart. Even more, a hungry baby trains your heart like you cannot even imagine. A trainer cant teach you that. But heart is not like chin or power, heart can be learned. It's only that it's not a trainer who can teach you. Did you watch malinaggi's interview explaining why he got up in his fight vs cotto? because if he didnt, he had nothing to eat, no money, nothing, he was done.
