Buddy McGirt: What happened to this guy?

I remember it for me, was when Gatti squared off against Mayweather. I haven't seen a McGirt fighter win since then.

 

Tarver just beat Woods, that was a solid win.

 

malignaggi beat n'dou in may, but looked horribly unimpressive. so as far as good performances go from his fighters, there aren't many at all.

 

Right, but I haven't seen (everybody note the words italicized and underlined in bold) Tarver fight since '06 and I only watched Malignaggie v Cotto.

 

**** you haters, he's still a good trainer. He's not the guy in there fighting.

 

Yea, I was referring to those who noted Tarver's victories to somehow falsify my claims, not you.

 

**** that. When the trend shows that overall, his fighters have been looking like ****, he's not doing a good job training. I don't doubt his technical skills, but if he's not getting his charges mentally ready for hard outings, he's missing a huge part of what being a trainer is all about.

 

young gun Fransisco 'el gato' Figueroa just picked up Buddy "McCurse" recently as well. I think he is a decent trainer, maybe not the best but he is decent and in the end its more of bad luck that his fighters lose not really his fault. Trainers don't go in there to fight for their fighters.

 

McGirt is poison. I think his glasses cause fighters to become mesmerized, falling into self-destructive paths of laziness and sloppiness. When they stare into those shades in between rounds, they always end up failing. If you look closely, Tarver wasn't looking into McGirt's eyes.. he was looking to the side during every conversation with Buddy in between rounds.

 

To say McGirt is going thru a ruff patch is an Understatement.
it still don't change my mind about his potential to develop a young fighter
but when he's hired on and takes over a Vet I always cringe and expect the worst.

Step your Training Game up Buddy!

 

Buddy is not a good trainer, his corner advice is down right terrible, it usually sounds something like this "Keep your hands up baby, he cant hurt you." This after being dropped and rocked severely. Buddy just seems to give the opposite advice to his fighters all the time, he tells sluggers to box, and vice versa.

And I thought Goosen was bad back in the early 2000's, Buddy has him beat IMO.
