I don't think he was a factor at all. It's simply that Tyson was at 60% for their first match. Last night he didn't look as good as he looked against Wlad. He was slow, and kind of sloppy. Just determined to get the job done. In history, it never happened that a trainer made a change in 1 fight.
A great question. I was going to start a thread like this too. Most boxers who developed in Europe or outside of North America never really develop USA like skills, such as the left hook. At least they didn't decade ago. With Steward gone Sugar Hill is going to be a hot commodity. He worked with a boxer mover type, and taught him the benefits of sitting down on punches, throwing the hook, and going to the body
Definitely deserves credit and he seems like a great guy just like his uncle Manny. That being said, Fury was in much better condition last night than the muscle atrophied inactive drug-ravaged suicidal cadaver of the first fight and had Ben Davison been in his corner instead Fury still would've won at a canter. I wasn't happy about Fury and Davison parting ways, especially so close to the fight, but I actually found this picture reassuring. I think Andy Lee has a very sharp analytical boxing brain and obviously like Sugar Hill he's also a former protegee of the late great Manny Steward and I knew Fury was in good hands with both him and Sugar Hill in the corner. That being said, I really was anticipating some skullduggery to take place that might prove pivotal, but thankfully even though Bayless did his not so subtle best to try and thwart Fury's plans and hinder his path to victory even his influence on proceedings wasn't enough.
