UK boxing trainers
We've got some cracking trainers in this country ay?
Joe Gallagher has the best stable and all his fighters seem to love him and he's having loads of success
Adam Booth has a more exclusive club but again like Gallagher seems to be able to conjur up the perfect plan
Rob McCracken's work with Froch and GB is truly staggering
Shane McGuigan,Chris Sanigar,Arnie Farnell,Oliver Harrison,Jimmy Tibbs,Gary Lockett,Dave Coldwell and of course Peter Fury who seems to have guided Tyson to HW Champ of the world
Who have i forgot??

I was gonna say him,or Ricky HattonStevieb8006 wrote:Tony sims is also prominent, tho I don't really rate him. Just has mates in high places
I like Booth,Arnie and Lockett
Re: UK boxing trainers
I was rewatching the Fury Klit fight earlier and I'm sure it was always there but I noticed a conversation between Tyson and Peter in the corner and you can see just by the way they talk to each other and the way Tyson looks at him that there is complete trust there, it's a rare thing that between a fighter and a trainer.

Re: UK boxing trainers
Any perceived connection is purely coincidence - you will be telling me next that Eddies wife and Tony's daughter off TOWIE are business partners in a beauty business.Counter-puncher wrote:Do you mean he's Camp Eddies house trainer, basically?Stevieb8006 wrote:Tony sims is also prominent, tho I don't really rate him.

Re: UK boxing trainers
Camp Eddies wife is what? A beauty business you say?
No wonder he's got such softlooking skin. I thought it was just that he's a bit, ahem, metrosexual, and has the kind of extensive grooming programme those sorts often have.

Tony Borg. Trains Lee Selby, (and brother Andrew), Gary Buckland, Craig Evans and a shed load of other pros. Looke like Fred Evans is turning over and will be trained by Borg as well.

Re: UK boxing trainers
Surely Ronnie Davies is the standout for his tactical genius in between rounds against BJS, what did he say exactly? Something like "Go out there and fornicating av him!!".

Re: UK boxing trainers
Shame McGuigan? Bit early for that. I know he and his dad talk as if Frampton could barely throw a punch before he joined them but the truth is ever so slightly different! He seems to be a conditioner to me.

Re: UK boxing trainers
dont rate him. overtrains his fighters and burns them out. not very impressive corner work when things arent going his way.macaca wrote:Jim McDonnell
IMO anyway.
Re: UK boxing trainers
Best person in the corner that i have seen is adam booth,he just has this calmness about him which i think the boxer will get a great deal from. Waits till u are listening to him properly before he gives his instructions,just my opinion but i like his cornering tactics. I also like caldwell he seems to have the corner calm.

Re: UK boxing trainers
I like the Scouse fella Paul Stevenson, always gives clear instructions in between rounds as does Packie Collins
Special shout out to Billy Nelson, who seems has been single handily keeping Scottish boxing afloat these days,which TBH is in the doledrums just now,especially as far as title level fighters are corncerned
Kris Carslaw fights Liam Williams in a couple of weeks but Williams is a special talent so i doubt we'll be having achamp anytime soon,hopefully Josh Taylor can make some headway in 2016

Re: UK boxing trainers
What about Jon Pegg seems to be doing a good job with Eggington.
