Why does Anthony Farnell keep geting top amature fighters when he is not proven?

    Frankie Gavin has looked very impressive under him turned from Am to pro very well.

    Crolla is competing at British level in close fights with other prospects and avenged his only defeat convincingly.

    Bellew is still a prospect but looks a very good one, also promotion sorts out fights not trainers.

    Gregory, Crolla was beat again in his last fight pal. Very Very good fight with Gary Sykes (another top prospect).
    Also, don't forget Joe Selkirk too, superb mate.
    And Bellos I want to see him fight big fights now. Never understand why he's always a buffer or on after the main event. Anyone know how ols Stevie Bell is ?

    I train mma fighters now arnie, i boxed for 7 years had over 40 amature fights. Arnie if bellew or any of your other fighters go on to do big things i will be the first to come on here i say well done and you will have proven me wrong but until then your not proven so thats why am doubting you. I use to enjoy watching your fights you always came to win and give it your all, i still remember your war with howard clark on sky sports like it was yesterday

    The point you are trying to make is a stupid one. Do you know Farnell? Have you ever been to his gym? Do you know how he trains fighters? I think I can answer all of those questions.

    Farnell will have picked up years of experience training under Brian Hughes and Billy Graham. His talent as a fighter (even though he was very decent) bears no significance on his capability as a trainer. Look at Bobby Rimmer, Dave Coldwell and Oliver Harrison- career journeyman who have turned out some incredibly talented fighters? How can you be an MMA coach if you only boxed amateur?

    Who are the MMA fighters you've trained?

    Daft post and so was the one yesterday about the Alexander-Farnell fight. People like you ruin what could be a very good forum by trying to be rude and acting the big man. Given the choice i'd much rather Arnie post here then some 'MMA trainer'.

    Cleverly knocked Powers out in the 6th round of 8 whereas Bellew fought him in a 4 rounder

    he seems like he is doing a good job so far and has a very good rappor with his fighters. i like the facts they have a camp set up.

    personally dont think Gavin will make it lacks dedication, he just doesnt look in shape to me. Bellew will be the stand out from the gym.

    Just wanna bring this post to the attention of Dan btw
