I remember Emmanual Steward hyping Vivian Harris the same way he was hyping Andy Lee. He was on HBO talking about how all the junior welterweights are ducking Vivian Harris and to watch out for Vivian Harris that he is gonna take over the Junior Welterweight Division. Was Andy Lee cursed by Emmanuel Steward and his comments? I think so because Andy Lee has very good skills and I thought he'd be a champion very soon but after losing to Brian Vera of all people I'm not so sure now! :huh I'm still a fan of Andy Lees and hopefully he can bounce back.
I really think Manny is starting to lose it mentally. I mean he did claim that Andy Lee was ready to fight Pavlick & could beat him right now, & that Vit Clit is better than Lewis??? I think he stole Merchants Gin & that is why they have kind of switched roles.:smoke
Curses are one thing. This guys' charges have graduated to being brutally KTFO'd at an alarming rate.
And if there were any above average heavies out there, which there aren't, Wlad would be the next victim.
This might be one of the most simple, educated points I have ever read on ESB. Bravo! You are exactly right and I never thought about it that way. Of all of his charges, those two, by far, are incredibly intelligent and very rarely, if at all, ever stray from a gameplan.
Agreed. He was telling Cintron the right things but he just seemed sorta...disinterested. "Youre gonna have to try and box" he said at one point, he was almost yawning
Yes, "you need to try to box this guy" is Steward's code for "you're not making it another three minutes."
Very overrated trainer IMO. Needs to teach his fighters some infighting techniques, as none of his fighters seem to possess them.
:thumbsup And if Waldo doesn't pick up some technique from Riddick Bowe's book on boxing he will lose to Sam Peter in the rematch. :hey
