I'd like someone to answer these simple question - how good is she/can she potentially be? Is/has she trained anyone apart from James Kirkland? I'm actually very surprised at the job she did with Kirkland, she deserves respect for that alone.
I hear she is an insane trainer with outrageous methods that sometimes sound almost foolish, however, very effective, there's no denying that. I hope to see more of her in the future as a trainer. Her knock out of vonda ward is one of the greatest one punch KOs ever!!
IMHO, Ann Wofle seems like agreat physical conditioning coach, and a great motivator, but I don't know about a trainer. Its obvious that she has a tremendous work ethic, and she will get your body ready for war. She also gives you that killer mentality that you need in the ring. But she doesn't appear to give any technical advice, or give her fighters any skills or nuances. Kirkland won fights because he walked through everything that was thrown at him and broek opponents down, but he had very deficient boxing skills.
You make a very good point with that. She's known for her punishing and unorthodox mental/physical conditioning methods. She's not nearly as much known for formulating in the ring tactics. James Kirkland fought only one way and that was high paced and right at you. They both seemed to be on that same mindset and the training she put him through embraced making him will himself through anything thrown at him and wear his opponent out. He hadn't been in a fight yet where his style and approach simply was not working...nor has she experienced working the corner for a fight like that. She appears to be the opposite of Emmanuel Steward. Manny has a great tactical boxing mind but is not known for any training methods to improve stamina and develop a killer mentality. In this regards that is why he worked so well with Lennox Lewis and Wladimir Klitschko. Both men could become mentally flustered/disjointed, and he knew how to wake them up(even if it involved cursing at them lol) when they needed a fire lit beneath them or calm them down when things were getting crazy and they needed to stay level headed
I believe that they have to carry each other up hills or something like that. I remember Merchant talking about how Kirkland had to run 5 miles with Wolfe on his back. Honest question but who else does she train? Edit: HIS back. Not hers. I'd rather drink embalming fluid than imagine Anne Wolfe on her back.
I remember seeing her driving right behind Kirkland in a truck. I'm sure if he slowed down, he would have got hit. Pretty unusual.
I bet Wolfe is a freak in the bed. I'd hit it fo sho'. She also would tie a heavy bag to the front pf a pick up truck and make Kirtland move backwards and hit it while the truck is driving.
