And I mean Trainer of the Year. He molded Inoue into the monster that he is today. Yet the talk is ALWAYS about Eddy or Derrick James.
papa inoue should be considered for trainer of the year after last nights performance. naoya was well prepared for this match up.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I'm aware, there never has been a trainer of the year from Asia. Rarely even from outside of the Americas... It would be a great and well deserved honor.
Quite strange that Takuma is so light hitting. Honestly, I can't think of any other brother world champions where one fighter is a heavy puncher and the other isn't. Quality of chin is a more common difference (example: Klitschkos). This could actually be considered another achievement for Shingo Inoue. Leading two very different sons both to world titles.
All I know is that I'm taking a bow every time I see him storming the ring post Donaire KO not to celebrate his son but to check if Noni's okay and to walk him safely back to his corner.
He would certainly deserve it. I don’t know the last non-American trainer who won? Did Papa Calzaghe win once?
