Naz Richardson is as good as it gets.

**** !!! my greatness on these boards doesn't allow me to see posts from newbs........



oh well

 

I agree (the naz part). The guy says a couple of fairytale quotes and all of a sudden he's a legendary trainer. Come on...

Everyone was saying how amazing he was for Mosley vs Margo and Hopkins vs Pavlik. I ask, do you really think Mosley and Hops would have performed any different had they not had Naz? Naahhh.

 

From what I heard in the corner, Nazim was too caught up with his 24/7 bull**** he was spouting and everyone loved.

"You're cut from a different cloth" ...."You're a warrior" ... and all that jargon.

Maybe he shoulda gave Shane the towel or those blue sponge sticks.

Good trainer - certainly aint the Messiah cats made him out to be. Some strategic genius.

 

:yep:yep:yep

real trainers take fighters to "their" gym, they dont follow a fighter around to his comfort zone......

 

***yawn***

wake me up when he actually produces a great fighter....till then i'll be asleep

 

Hyperbole doesn't win fights for your fighters. The fighter has to be conditioned and he has to have the right game plan. Shane had neither. I think it was Roach who said you don't want to be a friend to your fighter, they will not respect you as a trainer. This seems to be the case with Naz and Shane. They like each other too much. Shane was not pushed.

 

WTF? It's criminal to not prepare your guy physically for the fight of his life. What ****ing barometer was Naz the genius using to measure Mosley's stamina with? Hell yes Shane was looking for that big shot, he had to conserve what energy he had left. Friggen Naz is telling Shane to throw more, get active. Christ, look at your fighter, he's completely ****ing GASSED. How's your 38 yr old gassed fighter going to up his work rate at that point???

 

I didnt see Bhop at the fight, is Mosley and him still cool?

 

He was not gassed from throwing punches. If he was gassed as you say it was from being tense and tweaking like a meth addict.

Because his fighter lost does not diminish the job he did as trainer. His work was just neutralized by a great fight and another great trainer on the other side.

 

thtas why naz asked mosley to repeat what he said, when mosley repeated it naz said "if you can repeat what i said you still got enough energy in you"

 

A trainer can only give advice. It's up to the fighter to follow it and unfortunately for Shane, he didn't. Nazim said something like,"You're looking for the perfect punch but you won't get it" and Shane always loaded up his punches and fought jittery but the only thing though is that he didn't throw enough bodyshots. Ya can't expect quick change for someone that's been doing these mistakes for years. Shane's best and only round was the 2nd and even then Mayweather didn't go down I know that must be discouraging. Mayweather was the better fighter last night and I take nothing away from him. After their careers end and a few years go by, they enter the HOF so y'all can't be too disappointed.

 

i agree, good post:good
