To be fair, you want your fighter to perform best. In some ways, a trainer has to motivate his fighter too. To say "your conditioning sucks, he's gonna knock you out next round" would hardly have helped him.... but on the other hand, those guys who keep saying "you're wearing him down, he's getting tired", without any specific or technical advice are useless, too. I think Manny is very good. Obviously he makes mistakes, as does everyone.
Teddy Atlas to Mike Moorer one round before Moorer completed a masterclass and stopped Franz Botha in either 10th or 11th round of a great technical victory.. "Your blowing it Michael, and you only have 6 minutes to do something.. You are losing Mike, and your gonna have to go tell your son you lost to a man named Botha, Francois Botha.. " less than a minute later Mills Lane called it off after Mike completely demoralised and knocked Franz off his feet for i think the third time...
A rastafarian looking dude at Caesars new indoor arena boxing Mike Olajide's nephew Tokumbu.... Looking completely overwealmed after 2 hard rounds he came back to the corner and had his mouthpiece rinsed.. "How did I do sir ?" to cornerman (Kenny Croom) " you'd do a lot better if you stopped smoking that ****in chronic ****.... " Priceless......
i love manny stewart but you guys remember vivian harris vs maussa? manny said "get inside and throw the left hook, you can't knock himout with the right!" worst advice ever. he hooked with the hooker and got ko'd. he was landing the right at will and would have taken the ud.
