Ronnie Shields is a good guy. But he has two character flaws- 1. He is NOT a good "in-fight" corner man; and 2. He does not play the politics of the game to manoeuvre his fighters in a good position to win close ones.

With the second point, everyone else is manipulating the system- from judges, to home crowd advantage, to softening the ref's to getting the right ring size and preferred gloves.

Shields is not the guy for that. He may be a good gym-work trainer. But he is not the guy for fight time.
