    watching the fight yesterday, i was appalled at the lack of urgency or tactical advice from brendon smith to katsidas....

    smith never offered a way to approach diaz, opportunities he could see that diaz was providing. nor did he tell kat to change anything despite being beaten most rounds.

    even kellerman was amazed at how slack kats corner was.....(which just occured to me, may see kat with a different corner soon)

    have you seen a worse corner performance? i havent.

    He lost by SD so you can't really say he was far off the mark. In the last fight with casamayor he tried to get kat to put more pressure on in the tenth and we saw the result of that......so i'm guessing he didn't want to try that again even though he was behind on the cards.

    pretty bad but not the worst i have ever seen

    in the early 90's Mike Tyson had some shockers. Especially the guy that trained him for his 2nd bout with RUddock ahaha.

    the lack of urgency was pretty bad from him, but Katsidis must have known he was copping a flogging

    listen grazz. you gotta be a ****** with a nic like that. which means you probably have your dick in your sister right now....

    better you pull out and re type your offending post, before you enter your mother....

    and then you can give us all an insight into just what you though was brilliant about smiths corner performance...otherwise you havent an opinion, and are just flaming those that do. so put up some evidence as to brendons great performance ....or shut the **** up...

    This is Brenden Smith's job. He took Mick from a pretty crude slugger all the way to the top, even with a layoff for jail time. Gotta respect that, he is no mug trainer.

    I just cant for the life of me see how he saw things the way he saw them. It was like there was a bubble around the Katsidas corner and whatever they saw out of it was distorted.
    Sometimes a fighter isnt good enough to go that extra level up, just doesnt have the skills, talent or mindset. Maybe the same can be said of some trainers.

    I don't think he's the worst cornerman at all. Katsidis just needs new direction, and that means Smith needs to let his fighter go. He simply can't cater for Katsidis at the moment, I think it's too much for him, but certaintly does not mean he is a bad cornerman.
