Paddy Fitzpatrick should have his coaching licence revoked

Does he even have any other pro fighters

 

While that maybe the case remember Groves didn't have to go to him and then stick with him.

I'm a huge Groves fan but if Fitzpatrick was a mistake Groves has to take responsibility for that as well.

 

God forbid the fighter actually should take the blame.I mean Groves has only bolted on Booth and now Fitzpatrick.The rookie McGuigan will be next.

 

Bolts on booth?

If I felt I was getting stiffed for money so would I.

 

You do have some valid points about his overall quality as a trainer but let's not forget Groves won most of the rounds in the two Froch fights combined and lost the first because he gassed (Groves' VO2 Max is not the fault of the trainer, it's genetics) and the 2nd because he got lazy on the ropes and got KTFO. In the other world title fight he lost a close decision, although I agree Paddy's corner work was shoddy. Add a couple of routine wins to the list and I would argue your assessment of Groves' fights under the tutelage of PF is a tad harsh. Think SM will try and take Groves back to the less is more approach - more power punches, less volume of overall punches.

 

You are right about VO2 Max being improved by training but everyone has their genetic upper limit, so ultimately it is down to genetics - otherwise we could all train to beat the marathon world record or win the Tour de France. I just think George has naturally poor stamina and that is his weak point. Under Paddy he trained to improve stamina but I think that resulted in a loss of explosive power. I suspect SM will reverse this and work on being explosive with the right hand and boxing behind a sharp jab, his two best tools. I agree SM is a trade up, but still think you're harsh on Paddy. A boxer ultimately has to take responsibility for his own performances.

 

Another alt, let me guess which forum idiot you are ?

Log off you biggoted, racist Cnut.

 

Based on what/who ?

 

He's not crying racism. You are being racist. I'm not Irish, I just find someone like you to be a pathetic pimple on the face of humanity; a drop of DNA the gene pool could do without. And I suspect Two Shakes can watch a fight and type a comment roughly at the same time, so he didn't have to make a choice and probably doesn't move his mouth when reading either (as you are right now).

Your concept of the limitations to cerebral multi-tasking says a hell of a lot. Now the thing is, if you are a dumb troll, you'll reply. A decent human being would take his verbal shellacking and come back another day. So merely by typing something back, you'll be admitting exactly what you are: a racist troll.

 

Thankyou :good
