Did Derrick James sell out by taking AJ and Ryan Garcia into his stable?

Did a trainer sell out by training boxers? No.

 

Every top trainer goes through this. You can't just take someone on at 25+ years old with years of boxing experience and really change them that much. I remember when robert garcia got maidana, he cleaned his jab up a little bit but maidana was still maidana once fists started to fly.

 

Spence:$$$$
Garcia:$$$$$$$
AJ:$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

That's a different way to look at it but it does have some merit. Instead of one bad apple, they got two. I done heard this saying too many times. " I doing alright until this bad luck mother###### came around." lol.

 

he struck while the iron was hot.

 

His job is to be a boxing trainer so in those terms he got a promotion with a good pay raise, good for him. I can’t see any trainer turn down to train those 2 money makers, silly question.

 

It's impossible to judge the dynamic inside a gym without any kind of reference. It seems harsh to blame AJ and Garcia for Spence and Martins performances. Do you think Derrick was stretched too thin for time? possible...

If everything at the gym is planned out properly then I can see fighters like AJ and Garcia only being a net positive to the place. Not a detriment. Harsh to call them losers too...

 

And here I thought, we heard all the possible moronic excuses for Spence’s loss.

Gotta hand it though, being affected by the loser energy of another fighter in the gym is a pretty original one.

 

AJ just scored a highlight reel knockout and Martin won. If Jermell Charlo beats Canelo then Derrick James will be up for trainer of the year and if Spence wins Crawford rematch we’ll say what you will.

 

Maybe the question should be has Joshua improved under Derrick James ? I can honestly see Joshua changing trainers again tbh,Joshua’s problems are with the mental side of his game .

 

So who in his stable his more accomplished than AJ?

I know, beating Brian Castano and Shawn Porter are HUGE ATG P4P wins……

 

MMMMM Ryan Garcia is arguably the most talented fighter Derrick has. Ryans peak potential is Canelo/Oscar imo.

 

Funny he actually looked & performed better with the slagoff Garcia beside him haha.
