Were Wlad and Vitali both trained by the same guy before Wlad switched to Steward? And has Vitali stayed with the same coach he had from the beginning?
Fritz trains Vitali as posted, but both Vitali and Wladimir have been with Freddie Roach for a summer more or less. And Freddie has stated that they're both crazy athletes, the best big athletes he's witnessed first hand.
Thanks. Seems strange in a way that Wlad decides he needs a new coach and Vitali is fine with the old coach. :huh Was Wlad training with Freddie Roach with Steward's blessing, or did Wlad go there before hooking up with Steward?
Wlad needs a coach that tells him a hundred times how great he is. "Good fight, good fight...". You can't except something like that from a former Eastern block coach. Roach used to work with the Ks when both were coached by Sdunek. Sdunek was a great coach, just a level below Roach, Mayweather etc. He's been kind of shot for some years and only concentrated on Vitali since his Vitali's comeback; he was pretty sluggish with his other boxers. He's also been very ill for some years, too. Now he decided to leave Universum and only work with Vitali from now on. Certainly a good choice for Vitali and his former fighters...
