    The trainer I used to go to half-time, and will now be training with exclusively...Jesus help me...

    "You should be going 18 rounds {bags, mitts, sparring, etc.] minimum every time you come in. 6 days a week."

    "Every other day you should be running 30-45 minutes with two-pound weights in your hands."

    "Every good trainer'll tell you---you don't run, you don't spar."

    Change your trainer, or get life insurance.

    my first coach told us to make ourselves a steak. But don't eat it, chew up each piece and spit it out. Don't swallow.

    Because the juices + hunger will make us more aggressive, plus we don't gain weight because we aren't swallowing it.



    Oh, and he never set foot in the ring in his life.

    I am sure it wasn't a joke. He said his grandfather made him do the same, to make him meaner

    Not that it bears any relevance to his stupidity in the corner ("here, have some water baby") but he delivered a gem inside the ring when he fought Simon Brown. A masterpiece.

    buddy's a good trainer, his corner advice isn't great but in the gym he is a mastermind, its just hes always in situations where theres no chance of winning such as rahman vs wlad, adamek vs dawson, gatti vs mayweather etc

    His control of distance and his poise in the Brown fight were superb.
