Nazim Richardson: Raw & Uncut

''When the truth comes in, the bullshit goes out the window''... Love that!

Also, what he says about todays young guys makes me wonder if we'll ever see a particular degree of craft again. I mean the Ortiz Berto fight was entertaining but there was no shift in strategy, no adjustments, no 2nd level to go to. Same as the Degale Groves fight... There might be an element of Battle that these kids may never grasp.

Sort of depressing isn't it? The dearth of teachers is the problem. Roach, Stewart, Nazim and Beristain are all getting near the end aren't they? That leaves Ronnie Shields, Buddy McGirt and hopefully John David Jackson, Sweet Pea and some others come on and spread the gospel.

I disagree with Roach. He's a great trainer, but he's exactly the kind of guy who gets the best out of great athletes. I've not seen a fighter of his where I've thought that guy really is devoted to the game.

old school trainers telling you you're shit. What the game needs

This is the God's honest truth. Nothing makes me train harder in the gym & work on my fundamentals than being told I'm boxing shit & don't deserve to be in a ring. When you hear that, that is when you go in front of the mirror for two hours & work on every little facet of your movement that you can. The thing is some better fighters refuse to hear it because they'd much rather have their ego fed.
