I think Kevin was let down by Mike leaving him, they were close like brothers, they lived there lives together for about 10 years.

Kevin probably hasnt got the same enthusiasm as he did for Mike, someone he was close to and someone who could follow his instructions to the tee because of his physical gifts.

If kevin was coaching in the inner city he would have a regular influx of hungry young fighters, as it is, in the middle of nowhere he is lucky to get any gifted fighters walk through those doors.

If he had another gifted fighter that could actualy follow his instructions and not fight wild like Lenord Pierre.

I have been thinking of asking Kevin to come to Guernsey, paid for and train a small group of amature boxers for a week or 2 in the summer, so I can get the chance to train under him more than anything and someone else may get the chance of him saying, "drop everything, come join me at Catskills and give me your all for a few months, see if you can make it"

If I were 10 years younger and didnt have a mortagage id love to give that a try but, id still love to learn the Damato system, Cus was a genius, a philosopher and, phycologist and had the most exciting and formidable fighting technique to teach.

If Rooney had another special person, he would again be a great trainer, a trainer still needs a talented fighter so he can look good, same as an athletics trainer still needs a fast runner to look good as a sprint coach.
