Why is Adam Booth Haye's trainer?

Because Rubio starts applauding when you get knocked out.

 

I think Vlad Vs. Haye fight could be like Vitali Vs. Hide fight. However, I expect Vlad to box, jab, set up Haye and knock him out cold. The knockout will come when it comes.

 

Ha ha!

Booth and Haye have been together for yonks - Booth is from a fitness/sports science background as a trainer but boxed a fair bit as an amateur himself but picked up a few injuries so had to pack in.

He turned his talent to boxing training. The bond of trust they have is very important. He is quite an analytical guy.

 

What does this have to do with Booth being Haye's trainer? :huh

 

I'm not sure either. I'm not sure where he came from and what exactly he knows about the game.

He speaks some sense at times and is refreshingly honest in the world of promoting...but on a technical or tactical level I'm unconvinced. He, like Lee beard, seems to have come from nowhere to train one of the best fighters.

Also, he looks really gay.

 

So I'm not the only one that thinks he is a bit of a fairy.....

 

From Boxing News:

"I started as an amateur in 1981. I actually signed pro forms with Mickey Duff but at the age of 21 I broke my leg playing football, so I could no longer train with the same intensity. I studied anatomy at a private company and sports injury rehabilitation, then ended up working in and teaching that.
I worked with fighters while I was doing that - Chris Okoh, Patrick Mullings and some others - at the Fitzroy Lodge club and I started taking them on the pads. I loved it.
I met David (Haye) there when he was 16 and started training him at 17. As he progressed, I began to work with other fighters. I started spending more time on the boxing and less and less on my other work.
It was never a deliberate plan to work in boxing. I was working as a personal trainer and a lecturer and the training was just something I did as a hobby at first."

 

Undisputed Cruiserweight Champion in 22 fights. Clearly Booth is doing something right, and the 1 fight Haye lost is partly down to not lsitening to Booth.

 

I think he will succeed because of his willingness to challenge the status quo in boxing.

From the outside, it appears a lot of trainers do things because they always have, or because their mentor did them - completely pointless of course. You have to take the things that are good, get rid of the things that aren't so good and find your own method.

Kerry Kayes, whilst not being a trainer, has proved to be an important part of Ricky Hatton's career, and is having an increasing influence on Jamie Moore. He did a piece in Boxing Monthly about two years ago basically blowing away the myths about hydration etc and use of weights as part of training.

 

booth a great motivator...they go way back to hayes am days.

 

Q: Why is Adam Booth Haye's trainer?

A: Because he's bloody good at it!

 

Its seems that all fighters that go with Keyes go down in weight and all that go with Booth go up.

Groves turned pro as a middleweight is gonna start campaining at championship level at light heavy.

Jeffries turned pro as a light heavy is gonna start campaining at championship level at super middle.

Different approaches and different body types, I guess.
