So I am SOMEWHAT new to the sport of boxing. The gym I work out at has several (around 5) trainers. The older guy that's been training me is pretty good but I have a concern and was curious if I could get some feedback from some of you that have been around in the sport for a while.

My trainer was corner man for another fighter that he trains last night (1/31/09). The guy who fought got TKO'd in the first round. Now I have seen this guy train and he seemed to be a very good fighter (good defense, very technical). My question is how much should I be concerned that I am not getting good enough training? I know there are a lot of extraneous variables concerning last night (i.e. the other fighter, the guy who lost, preperation). I just am worried that I am going to step in the ring and not be prepared well enough. Should I be using the older guy or go with someone younger?

Any suggestions are welcome. I think you all get the gist of what I am asking here.
