Kell Brook: UK training methods are "behind the times"

It's funny cause the USA amateur squad is trained by an IRISHMAN. Because they seem to be behind the times and theyve been terrible in the amateurs for years now!

 

Enzo Calzaghe knew was he was doing. Calzaghe's style is not the norm in the UK.

He was born in Italy though.

 

LOL you don't even realise American heavyweights make up about 50% of all heavyweights in the world. USA has far more current heavyweights than any other country. They are just all useless. Quantity but lack quality. Go look at boxrec, You can't make any excuses when you have so many boxers, and you're in the most privileged country of opportunity for boxing.

Stop making awful embarassing excuses that have been debunked time and time again. And just admit a lot more countries are able to turn pro now and the USA just aren't good enough.

 

I know he fought for Canada. Lost to Biggs in ‘84, beat Blowe in ‘88. Also understand Detroit is across the border from Ontario, Canada. Still, Lennox was a very good fighter before Manny Steward.

I think Kell’s comment was with the upright 1-2 style that’s prevalent in Europe. Ironically, the 1-2 is what Steward emphasized with Lennox, and later, Wlad.

 

Yep Every country in the world has sports far more popular than Boxing that make more money.

 

Brook's face is shot.

 

This. Given the size of the population, we might just be right behind Mexico for fielding the most top boxers on a pop4pop basis.

It wasn't Kell's training that got him ktfo, he just has a cracked chin.

As for boxing "skills", who was Joe Calzaghe?

 

Many things in the UK are behind the times compared to the US.

 

if his performance is any indication, then yeah, your trainers suck. feinting a jab then launching yourself face first, chin in the air, to throw your right, is not what any good trainer teaches. then getting caught by a punch the guy has repeatedly been throwing and hitting you with, again, not good training. so yeah.

 

Chin in the air nowhere is tought.
Doesn't looks that US training now works well for HW or CW . All I had read up in forums is only excuse: CW doesn't have money and division is weak ( of course, there major criteria is champ must be from our country otherwise division is weak ).
If money is main reason, to box professionally should only large HW dudes. Others must pick another career cos too small.

 

Yeh such as our chance's of being shot dead or getting a 50 grand bill for cancer treatment

 

Deontay wilder trained in America, by americans.

Case closed.
