an incident last night when a trainer refused to shake boxers hand because he thought it was a draw wtf

On the flipside, McCracken's hand was rejected by Sauerland and his cronies in the ring after the Froch vs Abraham fight.

As a complete neutral that fight was no way a draw- entertaining but not a draw in a million years.

I for one would like to see a documentary of "When Trainers Go Bad".

I mean, there's Panama Lewis removing padding, Margarito's trainer loading the wraps, Norman "Stoney" Stone being an objectionable waste of space.

That'd be an entertaining one-shot, I reckon.

Pepe Correa cud be a bit of a tit, mouthing off in the build up to Bruno v Lewis and stopped Lewis touching gloves, Mickey Vann gave the gobby yank a real ear bashing !!

Didn't he spark Angelo Dundee out?

Roger Mayweather diving into the ring was a peach.

Lou Duva liked a battle.

Yeah Duva always seemed to find trouble despite seeming like an ordinary, mild mannered kind of bloke.

Working with some of the fighters he worked with though it was bound to go off now and again.

Him trying to kill Richard Steele after Taylor vs Chavez I always makes me chuckle, when it's his fault that Taylor lost.

Teddy Atlas has had a few mad moments too, that I can't recall, but he said he was going to shoot Donny Lalonde in his book. Then thought better of it. Think he is brilliant and hang onto his every word when I see/hear him on telly.

Duva was defo a firey character for sure. He got into it at press conferences too.

He had some great fighters and was involved in great fights.

Stephen Smith getting dq'd when his trainer (and dad, if I remember rightly) jumped into the ring after Hatton cut him with either a forearm or elbow. Dodgy shot caused the cut anyway.
