The trainer/boxer partnership for me, can only really work if there is trust.

I don't think your other trainer is a fraud, he has a different approach & understanding of the sport to this other guy.
I suspect as you've learnt more and become more critical in to the hows and whys of your boxing this other trainer has brought something new to your arsenal.

I take it from this you'll be changing camps? Just don't burn any bridges in case it doesn't work out
Well to be honest Missy, last year I just ran like a lunatic and hit bags for a long long time.
I just got myself in terrific condition and boxed at as high a pace as I could.
I trained myself really, he just got me the fights.

Then this other dude, started to actually teach me things and I could pick up on them and instantaneously it made my life easier.

As you alluded to, with the other trainer I was just interested in fighting, being there, throwing the punches as hard and fast as I could. I relied on fitness and physicality.
But the other trainer showed me things that made it easier and served me the logic behind why it is done. It just made sense.

For example with pivoting, trainer A said, pivot with the right foot when you throw the right and turn the fist....
Trainer B said Pivot with the right, and turn the fist because the shoulder will turn, if your shoulder hits your chin, his fist won't.
It's just simple details like that.
My old trainer just knows what he was taught, he doesn't know why he was taught it.

Wish I was changing camps but I won't be for a while yet. I'll simply have to make the most of what I have.
