hold up is it 4 20 or 5 20 i had heard 5 20

 

It's 5:20 PM Eastern, Germany and the rest of Central Europe aren't on Daylight Saving Time yet, as such we're only 5 hours ahead this time.

 

so i reside in pennsylvania, that means the start time for me is 5:20 pm???

 

so i guess caballero is next as long as he wins

 

My picks are:

1. Nacho Bernstein
2. Freddie Roach
3. Emmanuel Steward


Orlando Cuellar isin't a bad trainer though.

 

man can you imagine if yuri went to manny?? yuri would more of a beast than he already is!!

 

My friend, no need to change to any " American trainer ". You seem to forget who has the best trainers and boxing schools in the World, CUBA. This is a proven fact. If American trainers are so good like you say and know it all then the Americans would be winning 90% of the times against the Cuban fighters but they are not, it's actually the contrary, the Cubans win 95% of the times... :-(

Gamboa gets along great with Ismael Salas who was a great Cuban coach in Cuba. He is the one that has kept Gamboa sharp as nails. On the contrary, when an American coach gets his hands on a former Cuban amateur star completely throws him off with their different teachings and strange tactics...Not that American trainers are not good but Cuban boxers need to keep their Cuban skills alive and that can only be kept using an ex-amateur Cuban trainer that can adapt to the pro level but without leaving the great Cuban boxing skills behind... :bbb

Example: When Casamayor started training with Joe Goossen, Joel became a totally different fighter. He became " very defensive " and this is why he lost those extra tight fights with Freitas, Castillo and Corrales. When Joel defected from Cuba ( first 4 or 5 fights ) he was a Lion KO'ing everyone in front of him " similar to Gamboa " but then started to box more, move more and defend more thus losing many tight fights that he needed to attack more and because of that " defensive " style that came from Goossen Joel lost many fights!

Lara also should'nt have left Salas, I did'nt like that one bit. The Cuban amateurs need a Cuban amateur coach that can also adapt his training to the pros but WITHOUT losing the great Cuban skills that gave them so many Gold medals... :good

 

Forget those 3 trainers...

Let me ask you a question: Do you think that if Rigondeaux would not be with Roach that he will achieve greatness? OF COURSE HE WILL. Roach is not leading Rigondeaux to stardom is Rigo's IMMENSE AND INCREDIBLE TALENT not Roach's guidance... :-( IT DOES'NT TAKE A GREAT COACH TO GET A BASEBALL TEAM FULL OF SUPERSTARS AND LEAD THEM TO THE TITLE, that's not a big accomplishment. Now, it really takes a " great manager " to get a " mediocre team " and make them win the Title !!! That's another story.

The Cuban amateur greats are " already complete ", all they need is a helping eye from the outside that will " help " them win fights, not teach them a lot of things except one or two small things here and there...

Cuba has the best trainers in the World not Americans...

I would love to see a Cuba VS USA tournament when Cuba had the strongest team ever " the 1992 Olympic Team " and will love to see " Freddy Roach " on the opposite corner guiding the Americans... :rofl:rofl:rofl

Same outcome, Cuba will still get 8 or 9 Gold medals and Roach ??? ENOUGH SAID.

:good

 

i asked lara's wife a while ago why he left salas and she couldnt give me a straight answer but i remember her telling me that he couldnt find any quality sparring partners at all and i also remember her telling me that his last fight he was basically training by himself cuz salas was getitng gamboa ready for his hbo fight and they only really trained together for a few days

 

That would be great to see.
