Martinez and Trainer

Don't know about his expertise as a trainer but I do know the dude thinks he's the star.

 

his style is unorthodox... stewart is not as good as people say

besides his trainer did a good job, it would be a mistake to change him too much.

 

His trainer cracks me up......Cut-off sleeves, and sunglasses....:rofl

 

First off his last name is "Steward". But he's not as good? Tell that to Hearns, Holyfield, Lewis, Wlad that.

 

steward has been brought in to help fighters and given mixed results

 

dude looked like a coked out drug dealer

 

or the Bono of trainers

 

The guy is a ****in' riot....I was watchin it with my mom, and she never makes comments, and she said "who the **** was that guy":rofl:rofl:rofl

 

I think had he gotten an elite trainer earlier definately. At this point, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

 

Nah. He's thirty-five. He is what he is: athletic and relying on reflexes & intellect.
Does he fall into the trap of aging to where reflexes won't keep him on a world-class level? Maybe, maybe not. It's much too late to teach him a completely new way of thinking and a big name trainer would only dilute his own name, which has become a sleeper hit in the US.

Roach, Steward, Brother Nazeem... these trainers are wildly different in how they craft their fighters. None of those three styles would be a good fit for Martinez, even ten years ago.

 

His trainer made good calls and helped settle Martinez

 

Probably the best trainer for him would have been Eddie Futch...

 

I'm not criticizing the trainer. Martinez is a hell of a fighter and his trainer gets part credit for that and his trainer did a good job in the fight. I'm just saying, it's possible that with all of his athleticism if Martinez started younger with an elite trainer he MAY'VE been even better. At this point Martinez is 35 and his current trainer and him are working like magic so if it ain't broke don't fix it.
