Hatton splits from Lee Beard

[Hornfinger]

Exactly, no it wasnt.

But here's what I don't understand. If I was a boxer on the brink of a mega fight and my body is telling me I've got to slow down a bit, or I feel like I'm peaking too soon, I'm going to put my foot down and say something. If my trainer then persists in training me into the ground or refusing to do pad work or other training techniques vital to beating my oponant (not mention turning up for training late) than I'm going to tell him to pack his bags and fuck off. Especially if you've got Lee beard to take over anyway.

I'm just surprised Ricky didn't do something.

Firstly, Ricky didnt say anything about the overtraining because he probably didnt want to admit defeat to the programme. Especially if he thought that Oscar and Floyd Jnr had handled Floyd Snr's regime, even though they probably differed massively.

Secondly, they did tell Floyd Snr to pack his bags and fuck off weeks before the fight, it just wasnt made public.

hmmm fair points. Jr didn't handle Sr's routine though did he. thats why he's been trained by uncle roger for god knows how long and had big disputes with snr over training.

And I stand corrected if they sent Snr packing. Snr being in the gym on 24/7 during the last week of training and being in Ricky's corner on the night of the fight must have thrown me.

I think the trainer situation ricky is in now is a difficult one, it'll be very interesting to see how this all pans out for him and who he goes with.
