Can someone please explain what Whyte's trainer is trying to do?

In the Franklin fight his trainer was like "don't go the knockout, stay behind the jab, stay behind the jab".

What's the actual point in this? Whyte is an OK boxer, but the only chance he ever has of beating anyone decent is by KO.

When Whyte stopped listening to his trainer, he went for the KO and almost KO'd franklin in the 12th round.

The best I ever saw Whyte box was vs Povetkin the first time, and he still got KO'd by shot Povetkin

What he did vs Parker was peak Whyte IMO. Bully the other guy.
