Absolutely right...a good working corner should have 1 at most 3 people talking and that would be #1 The Head Trainer #2 The fighter and #3 if need be a translator as in the case with Povetkin and Atlas.

The less people talking the better and great trainers know that sometimes you talk and sometimes you listen, fighters can give information that sometimes you wouldn't understand or see unless you were in the ring. Trainers are also there to amp up or chill out a fighter...some guys fight good when they are emotionally charged up and others don't
