Whats interesting,is whats the difference between standing right there saying nothing,which is what most trainers do half the time,and carefully studying film on your fighter and explaining what theyre doing wrong or right?
I get film on Andrew,and send him film of what I want constantly,and then we discuss at length what was right,or what was wrong.
It would be easier if I had him in the gym,but its still producing dividends
You can definitely help him long distance, but you can only do so much without being able to correct him in realtime. He's so rough that even some basic instruction and a few pointers would improve him. I guess some gyms have pretty lousy training. I'm lucky, I've gotten hands on training from a guy who really knows what he's doing. It makes a huge difference.Quote:

I just worry he will dissapoint you as all the faith you have in him just to see him lay an egg next fight or gas out in the 1st min.. he should really focus on his conditioning BIG TIME, that way if he does resort back to his old ways when things arent going well his punch resistance will be better.. just my 2 cents
Oddly enough,ive been a Nazi about his endurance trainingQuote:

OK, I have the same fears but again it's your life but yeah, there is a point where you aren't going to be able to play jenga with a tower made of dust. Hahaha ok I think the best advice you can get here is just not to listen to me. Jenga with a tower of dust, I really really like that one. Take that Andrew, you pile of dust.
I have a feeling Andrew might have a chance come October 18, but I also have a feeling that if he DOESN'T win, it might be his last chance. Either he or TM will give up on him. :-\
This is a fight he needsQuote:

Guys fought that many times,and he's never been paid well enough to afford his own shoes and no-foul belt.
I don't know, $200 dollars and all the wings you can eat, that doesn't sound like such a bad deal. :cool:
Unless of course you don't have a job, and you only fight like once every couple of months, then yes, time to move on. :-X ;)
