    its not that simple because when it comes to boxing
    he is a good coach,
    he had 200 amateur fights in serbia,
    worked with several top fighters here in canada

    and has a wonderful eye for spotting mistakes you
    make your boxing and correcting, so his boxing know how
    is to be respected

    but the guy is 68 years old, and is beyond stuck in his ways
    just sees weights as bull****, he says things even other old coaches wont

    and i am not just staying in shape
    me and a several guys from the same club are competing in january in a tournment here.


    i never said mma coaches "know"
    what i said was that,
    they seem to be interested in different training methods

    and speaking of wanta be's that sport has way more of them then boxing thats for sure,
    having trained with a few

    so there goes that little cheap shot

    its being annoyed at why some these are so stupid in certain areas
    and have something against doing any research before
    giving people advice, on anything besides boxing....

    Finally a voice of reason, that can see what's what. Now it might be clearer the coach you have is probably a good coach for the amateurs, but if you want more from a trainer, you have to look past his having fought 200 times as an amateur.
    I am in South Texas and deal primarily with Mexicans and that style of fighting and training. There are two former 2x world champions in Texas, and both of them are trainer wannabe's. The problem is that they teach the way they fought and that style while good for them is not so good with the guys they are training. Could this be the problem?
    Good to know you are Canadian, my guy Marco A Rubio, fought David Lemieux, does your trainer train Lemieux?

    I am directing my comments to people who are here to **** on other people. Now, it's quite simple really, if the guy is a good boxing coach then bring in someone to help who understands the conditioning aspects of training that you want. Boxing coaches should just teach boxing. A good team, should be the head coach(the boxing trainer), asst trainer, usually handles the day to day activities and training which includes some conditioning, and a cutman.
    Now if you have a problem, such as getting the weight off or putting weight on then you bring in a specialist, maybe an S&C guy who then will work on the problem. The problem arises when like in another thread, they claim JMM's win was cos of the S&C guys. If they watch the fight they will see JMM threw a hail mary punch, cos JMM at that point was taking heat and looked worse for wear.
    Now people are saying "roids" might have had something to do with the win.
    I would like to believe that JMM won cos he was determined not to lose. If you look before the ko, JMM was not looking good, and was taking heat. If you look JMM, set himself mentally and threw that shot. Determination and his mindset, made that win possible. JMM has had that S&C guy for over a year.
    Dont get on the trainer, the trainer is doing what he knows, since you are part owner of the gym, bring in a conditioning guy and tell the boxing coach this is the way it's going to be. If this coach has put in fighters who weren't ready, like Lemieux, or his fighters are never in shape or cant make weight than you have ammunition to lay down the law, if his guy's are winning, and are in shape and ready to fight then he is doing a great job.
    If you go on Facebook, look up Maple Avenue gym, Dallas, and the Aztec pride gym, Fernando Castrejon. Do you have a FB page or website? Sorry for the cheap shot wasnt aimed at you, only aimed at the yappers and they know who they are.

    You think JMM threw a hail mary punch? :lol: Your opinion on boxing is to be taken as seriously as your opinion on strength and conditioning. :-(
    You referred to Scrap as a yapper in your rant to 4eyes, reading and comprehension certainly aren't your strong points.

    First and foremost who is scrap? I don't believe I mentioned anybody's name only the yappers with assine fecal matter. I comment on things that I read on this forum from children who resort to name calling and just looking to mess with people. I dont believe I have seen a post with his name, that was as way stooooooooopit as yours, anybody can have an opinion even you. Boxing teaches sportsmanship and respect maybe you missed that part. I am really curious, I would like to know what and who you are, cos it sounds like you are a real nobody. You come up with a turd and call it a rose, and it is a rose cos you say so, :huhhuh?! Ha ha, sorry, LOL, LMAO:lol:

    Does my opinion mean that much to you, dang, I am flattered that you read my posts so carefully, I will send more that will keep you informed and entertained about all my future opinions. I am sure you will look forward to them.

    My new thread will be about punching power. Pick any fighter that you know is a powderpuff puncher, and get all the modern science and technology and change him into a killer puncher. You can add your brilliant insightful comments which I know I will be looking for.

    i agree with you totally about that a boxing coach should teach you boxing, and you bring other coaches for other stuff...for sure

    but here is the problem,
    this guy like a few other boxing coaches
    thinks they are S&C coaches
    too
    because they can tell you to run,
    and do push ups, sit ups etc

    and dont need that bodybuilding crap around,
    because we are training boxers here
    not weight lifters or gymnast its

    you want good cardio-run and run and run

    you want good power-hit the bag and do push ups and pull ups

    all that other stuff is unnecessary for boxing or even harmful
    because it doesnt help cardio and will make you stiff

    TRUST ME I AM BOXER AND HAVE BEEN A COACH FOR 40 YEARS

    maybe that other stuff will help a wrestler or something
    but this is boxing....i know boxing

    You tell him some facts or ask him to do research
    you get a smirk back or repeat of how he
    knows boxing and doesnt need to read some
    weight lifters article lol

    NOW YOU SEE, WHY I AM ANNOYED


    ps
    people who consider some circuit training over running for cardio
    are just too lazy to run....lol

    It's an unfortunate attitude and it's not unique to boxing. Traditional martial arts suffer from it to a huge degree. I've seen karate guys doing plyometric pushups on their knuckles. BJJ guys who think that all you need to do is drill and roll and drill and roll and drill and roll, they get lazy as **** doing anything else. I had a Tae Kwon Do guy ask me about getting fit when he was preparing for a tournament he had coming up, I told him about a hill nearby that I was sprinting on the weekends and said he should come along. He asked me if that would work his quads, because he thought his quads needed more work. I told him he'd find out on Monday morning.

    Yea i have friends and associates who are like that,i dont speak with them about S&C anymore.I just tell them,do what you want,its terrible.
    When i want to explain something to them they dont want to listen,and i dont want to "spill pearls in front of pigs" anymore,how my people say.
    Exmaple,one guy doesnt want to lift more than 30 kg on benchpress cause he wants speed not big muscles :patsch.

    Your Body is an Orchestra, when under the right conductor, will perform Melodies of Beauty. As long as each Musician is Skilled, to perform there instrument with Clarity, something wonderful happens. Similar to Boxing in a lot of ways. :lol:
