Its been great reading all the questions and your replies, so thanks for taking the time out. I just wondered, as you were a world class amateur, what the difference in training is like in terms of technical skills now as a pro. How does working one on one with a pro trainer compare to your amateur days?
All the best in your career, I enjoy watching you box and really think you can go far.
Cheers

thanks for your message mate,
as an Amateur we trained 4 times a day on the GB squad , some session we did felt like we where only doing them just for the sake of it, we worked alot on technic drills and how to beat different types of styles of Opponents, we also worked in a big group sometimes up to 15 of us with only 3 coaches,
now as a pro its twice a day + weights 3 times a week ( weights session with kerry kayes only lasts 11 minutes)
now its alot more 1 on 1 work with me and bobby my coach, one Run one gym session the session i do will be longer thans the sessions as an am ,
theres stuff in my style i had have to change like my footwork as an am i was always on my toes moving , iv slowed that down now and plant my feet alot more to get that extra power,
i enjoy it better as a pro , but i would never knock what Terry Edwards had us doing as Am's because he really did get the results
cheers pal
