    It's never the best fighters who make the best trainers.... Probably a bunch of guys who will fly under the radar of most people.

    She had a little stable at one point but as of her last reunion with Kirkland her schedule was totally cleared up for him, I believe.

    ...and they had yet another falling out, I think?

    She's a horrible trainer and deserves her USA boxing license revoked (if she has one). There's a string of videos of her snarling, abusing and other malicious activities allowed at her gym. Here's a video of her encouraging Kirkland to knock the daylights out of a novice, she's pathetic

    Yeah through the grapevine I heard that Kirkland frustrated with how his career had panned out confronted Wolfe and blamed her for everything. Things got a bit heated and Kirkland woke up 2 minutes later with a crowd around him.

    She probably burnt him out, her training methods are too extreme and unpractical.

    She recently got in hot water for abusing boxers while they were doing planks lol. It was on YouTube, she's a barbarian

    Nick Blackwell's Trainer was a boxer?

    Damn I never would have guessed, harsh but I thought he was part to blame in the Eubank fight.

    Yes!!! I knew there were specifically a couple of Brits that last fought somewhat recently (within the last decade or so) that had made the jump. Moore & Lockett were on the tip of my tongue, cheers!

    Tommy Coyle actually might qualify as pulling double-duty; he's still active with a fight lined up in April. Anybody know if he actively coaches or works the corner of any other fighters, or does he just own the gym?
