Brendan ingle as a trainer

I thought Kell was trained by Dominic Ingle and they are still working together as far as I know.

 

The ingle style will take you so far Naz was a one off due to his extraordinary punching power ....far too many flaws to the ingle style of boxing imo Brendan is overrated......Brendan fell out with kell when kell jumped ship and went with Dave coldwell who Brendan doesent get on with when Coldwell went with haymaker over to sentanta kell went back with the ingles and stayed with ****** and sky tv Brendan refused to train him so his son dom trained him...

 

Brendan Ingle was more of a life coach/psychological trainer. Technically..? Its a known fact that Hereol Graham created the Brendan Ingle style! Not Brendan Ingle!

Brendan Ingle during the 90% just so happened to stumbled across the most genetically gifted Black, White and Asian fighters in the history of the sport of boxing! In the history!

The Ingle style is completely useless if...? You are not genetically gifted as a athlete.

 

Yeah kind of agree with this,Ingle was more of a mentor and disciplinarian to the fighters.I don't think he created the style but it was a style his fighters adopted because of guys like Herol Graham.Nas,Nelson,Rhodes and Witter are all perfect examples,alot of very good fighters came out of the Ingle gym and some still are so to write him off completely would be foolish,he must have been doing something right down there.

 

I wouldn't call Johnny Nelson a fighter with superior physical gifts, yet Ingle found a way to make him viable for years by installing a completely negative style that took advantage of Nelson's reach, height and range.

They say Brendan's fighters walked into the gym backwards, and that's a good way of putting it. He taught a very unorthodox style based on an intricate pattern of footwork that is baffling to anyone who hasn't studied it -- his fighters zigged when you expected them to zag.

I credit him with developing a style of fighting that caused a lot of confusion and hesitation in the opponent -- many times they seemed to be mesmerized, watching and trying to figure things out instead of fighting. It also was difficult to prepare for, because where could someone find sparring partners who could mimick an Ingle fighter, it was like trying to fight an upside-down southpaw, so alien was it.

Of course it had its limits, if the Ingle fighter didn't buy in completely and adopt that style to the point that it became automatic. I'm sure someone will come up with an example I'm missing, but how many fighters ever left Ingle and improved after?

I'd say he was pretty darned good, and certainly innovative.

 

Great man great trainer

 

Nas said in his recent Sky Sports interview that it was always John Ingle training him, right from his amateur days, and that Brendan was more of a manager/advisor.

 

I think the Ingles have done a lot of good in Sheffield.........some great nights watching Naz etc and they recognised and nurtured the natural ability.

 

Johnny Nelson was WAY WAY above average genetically! Nelson had David Haye type athleticism.

You must be blind or stupid if you could not see this.

 

Guess I will have to opt for stupid, as I can see the keyboard to type, haha.

Johnny has a nice spindly build, but is far from athletic. He is a taught fighter, not a natural one. Not sure I've seen anyone near as successful who had such trouble putting punches together in fluid motion, apart from a few crude power punchers.

Most anyone else trains Nelson and I suspect none of us ever would have learned who he was, much less remembered him fondly.
