Bradley Saunders / oliver Harrison
Just watching the sky card with Bradley and he is with oliver who is s good coach and I seen stalker last night with Danny Vaughn , whatever happened to Seamus Macklin ?
Re: Bradley Saunders / oliver Harrison
He probably patched him cause he got his ass handed to him. Easier to blame someone else than come to the realisation that you're not as good as you thought!1 nut wrote:Just watching the sky card with Bradley and he is with oliver who is s good coach and I seen stalker last night with Danny Vaughn , whatever happened to Seamus Macklin ?
Re: Bradley Saunders / oliver Harrison
I'm not sold on Saunders and I think he'll get clocked once he's in with someone good.
Re: Bradley Saunders / oliver Harrison
He looked great against Prince and Piispanen, since then he's had two 6 rounders and looked dreadful.palooka wrote:I'm not sold on Saunders and I think he'll get clocked once he's in with someone good.
Re: Bradley Saunders / oliver Harrison
He looked awful last night not convinced he will beat Ryan based on that.
As for linking with Oliver really good move IMO nothing against Seamus Macklin may be a good guy but fighters don't go to that gym because he is a good trainer they go because of the Marbella lifestyle.

mmm that's an excellent question, a real teaser, why on earth did Saunders leave the tuition of a twentysomething trainer whose primary experience in the sport would seem to be carrying a spitbucket for his vaguely famous older brother?
I'm scratching my head, here.

Re: Bradley Saunders / oliver Harrison
I jumped the gun a bit there, just googled Seamus a bit. Not only was he an Olympian according to the Liverpool echo, but tom stalker says he is really good on the pads.

The Echo is an unimpeachable source, mate.

I think Jack Catterall is the one to watch at 140, improving every time he boxes.

I thought he looked pretty poor last night he was loading up way too much.Naandrew wrote:He looked awful last night not convinced he will beat Ryan based on that.

I get the feeling even though he's not looked great in his last few fights he'll still beat Ryan comfortably.
Re: Bradley Saunders / oliver Harrison
I'd think Catterell would beat Saunders; the commentators mention over and over how Saunders seems to enjoy landing hard punches; of course he does, there's nothing coming back.
Re: Bradley Saunders / oliver Harrison
Bradley on his 10 th trainer since turned pro can't be doing him any good love to see him in with Glenn Foot

Saunders seems to have developed a common problem amongst boxers,he's realised he has power and is neglecting his skills

Re: Bradley Saunders / oliver Harrison
Seamus beat Paul Butler in the amateurs and has been around the game along time. Back when Matt first turned professional Seamus was constantly by his side. HE went everywhere with him, and spent alot of time in the gyms.
Give him time. I think he'll turn into a fine coach!

Re: Bradley Saunders / oliver Harrison
I remember a lot of people on here raving about Saunders...he is still winning sure but....I dunno, I just don't think he is as good as a lot make out. Always said that.

my point exactly. I don't think Saunders has time to spare.James Harte wrote:Seamus beat Paul Butler in the amateurs and has been around the game along time. Back when Matt first turned professional Seamus was constantly by his side. HE went everywhere with him, and spent alot of time in the gyms.

Re: Bradley Saunders / oliver Harrison
I think I read somewhere that Seamus Macklin has gone into the business side of MGM Marbella rather than directly training the fighters
Re: Bradley Saunders / oliver Harrison
He just seems to rush a lot and doesn't seem to set his shots up (or maybe he does it so subtlety that I can't see); it may be that he's used to boxing at a high level as an amateur and doesn't fear anything his current opposition can do. Mickey1975 rates him so he maybe has that bit more than is apparent.Crazyboy wrote:I remember a lot of people on here raving about Saunders...he is still winning sure but....I dunno, I just don't think he is as good as a lot make out.

Re: Bradley Saunders / oliver Harrison

I know Mickey (And quite a few others to be fair) rate him, I just don't see it meself..
