lochend amateur boxing club (labc)

Never! Lol

 

The Eddie Hearn of Scottish boxing haha.. Seems to be a good club.. my brother only has good things to say and Terry is excellent

 

How do you know they are "poached"? are they offered reward to go and train there? Boxers generally want to train at the club they believe to be the best about or where they feel they are getting the best sparring. When you feel you have learned all you can from a particular coach or club then you look to move on to someone or somewhere you feel you will learn more from. If you are in the East of Scotland then Lochend would be the obvious choice.

 

Sounds like you have been left bitter by someone leaving you for pastures new. But you sound pretty bitter, twisted and jealous all round with your continual sniping and trying to bring others down.

I agree that some clubs have inflated reputations based on one or two fighters but success breeds success, boxers will always want to train alongside and spar with the best at their weight and will go where the success is.

 

we have all heard the rumour true or not I don't think guys would go there to turn pro, it hasn't got any kind of record in the pro game

 

Must be a good gym for so many good boxers to want to train there.

 

In fairness Josh trained in sheffield the last 3 years before turning and now is based in London, Aston trains with Colin Belshaw.
the other three boys are novices, Tiffany appears imo to have adapted well to the pros
Between paul, john and gary only gary has won a Scottish title for the gym, im sure paul was trained elsewhere when he was british champ (McGuire fife)
And big john thain has talented has he is has been very unlucky to be in such a strong division

 

Thing is though mate the boxers have a mind of their own and they have people in their ear (dad usually). If they show no loyalty and jump ship when they have success I would suggest their better out the gym. Joining a busy gym has perks but it also has downfalls for example you need to share trainers time. Terry has maybe had similar done with Josh, I see no substance to why Josh would leave terry and go train with Shane McGuigan. Terry is a very good trainer and where Shane prides himself on being able to train and take the toll on the body that holding pads etc required terry also has that and is very fit. Boxing is a very fickle sport and to be honest the fury team are proberly the only ones I have seen show loyalty to Hennessy. Money talks and you know the rest.

 

Looks like their gym will have a good pro team very soon, even if they have started at different gyms. Like Billy Nelson said Tiffney looks to be well suited to the pros. Some good fights there for Benson - with Easton when the time is right. Hopefully Thain gets a shot at something soon.

What gyms in Scotland have more pros than Lochend? Phoenix?

 

You can have all the pro you want, titles are what you want in the gym
