is this the same mcgirt that was in Jaidon Codringtons corner when he fought sakio bika in the contender finale? khans signed his boxing career away if this guy trains him
Buddy McGirt? atsch Well, if Khan wasn't certified as an idiot before, he certainly is now. Of all the people he could have gone to... The same moron that told Gatti to try to outbox Mayweather.
Yep, Setanta seem to think its Buddy McGirt. Harrison baffled by Khan axe Amir Khan's recently ousted trainer Oliver Harrison has spoken about his disappointment at being sacked by the Olympic Silver medallist. Harrison has guided the Bolton fighter since shortly after his run to the final in Athens, including his rematch victory over three-time gold medallist Mario Kindelan prior to him turning professional. Since then Khan has beaten 21 opponents, without being in any real danger - despite his flash knockdown against Willie Limond - and after his victory against Martin Kristjansen, is the mandatory challenger for Nate Campbell's WBO lightweight title. Harrison is baffled that in this stage of Khan's career they would change his trainer. "We were just around the corner from a world title, which we would have won," Harrison told the Bolton Evening News. "I thought we got on so well on a personal basis as well as professional, but I haven't heard anything from Amir since the Bolton fight. I have just read what has happened in the papers. "It just doesn't add up. I don't understand why he has gone to an American trainer. "I trained him for all 17 of his fights, which he won with 13 knockdowns. He improved with every fight." Khan is expected to announce Buddy McGirt as his new trainer at a press conference on Thursday.
I do feel sorry for Harrison. The least they could have done was tell him to his face instead of hiding behind letters and phonecalls.
Thats just cannot be true! Changing a trainer because of a hat only 6 weeks away from a fight! How dumb is that...its anti-Khan BS! Here's Khan advertising "Olivers Gym" !!! Look to the left it says "OLIVERS GYM" in BIG BOLD White Lettering! Its even Bigger and brighter than Reebok logo. We lay that heresay talk to rest. This content is protected
What has McGirt done at top lvel, trained Tarver who was always called a lucky puncher by knowledgable boxing fans and pundits then gets taken apart by old pa Hopkins, what has Tarver actually done, nothing in truth, beat the old 4 world title chances woods, few battles with glen johnson.
Sorry about that, I think too much time in the East Side Lounge made me disrespectful. You're right, I did call for humility. Khan was definitely talking too much and wasn't showing the sportsmans discipline outside of the ring, but at the same time sometimes I think he's picked on for things that wouldn't even be discussed for other boxers. Of course sending a letter isn't the best method, but it isn't exactly scandalous. Agreed. I remember telling friends just after the olympics that it was good to see so much humility and talent hand in hand.
Thanks for the warning! I have no intention of posting there anyway but you've just put the final nail in the coffin!
