Well said, once the fighter gets in between the ropes, the trainer is powerless.

I agree Jimmy Mac cant be to blame. In all honesty though when theres a rivalry like these two have had the best laid plans often go out of the window.

Oh sure, I'm not really having a go at Jim. I'm just peeved when experienced fighters show no restraint, especially when I tip them to win.

Did anyone see Wayne point at someone after his win and stick his tongue out! That was at the Boxing News reporter.

Good ol' Wayne. He's a gent. How does he rate John Breen as a trainer, knockout?Posted: 15 Sep 2004, 12:29
Wayne is something else and seeing as everyone else has had their opinion on the two boxers in question so will I.
Wayne does have good boxing skills, I've seen him display them on a few occasions when needed in the amateurs , but let's face it when you have a punch like Alexander they're not often needed.
In my opinion he was boxing better than Takaloo, and most of what I heard afterwards was McDonnell harping on about Takaloo hurting Wayne....so fornicating what! No excuses, no ifs, no maybe's, this was a very personal boxng contest that has no time for the loser, this was clearly a winner take all affair (so to speak) and Wayne takes it.
I think anyone trying different angles to justify what happened needs to have another look at the Wayne's incredible take out of Takaloo. There's nothing more to say, that punch said it all. 8)

Exactly. If it was a close points decision then there's room for discussion but when the result is as conclusive as that what can you say?THEBUTCH wrote:Wayne is something else and seeing as everyone else has had their opinion on the two boxers in question so will I.
