Didnt see that coming.

Really.....where you hear that?

Fecking hell

its in the Sun this morning.....

It won't make any difference when Lee Markham gets him.

good move

Though it's his career to be fair, good luck to them.

Seems a bizarre one.

I don't think Buglioni is a Lonsdale belt winner. Just not good enough. Big ticket seller so may get lucky

Tibbs read him the riot act last fight, I wonder if the lad fails to take instruction.

Another fighter blaming his trainer for a loss probably.

To be fair the guy who beat him is pretty decent; a very tough fight for a 12 fight novice; he went on to give Stielgtiz a very, very tough fight!

Maybe he s not gettin the attention he needs but I think tibbs is a great trainer could do him good a change of trainers but I'm against fighters travelling to train

Mark Tibbs was a very tidy and capable boxer and is an intelligent and thoughtful trainer. I imagine he'd want a bit more thought in Frank's boxing but it may not be in Buglionis temperament. He's got a big noisy crowd to box for and the more reckless he is the happier they are. Buglioni reminds me of Paul Knights who was powerful and game but very upright and a little basic. Boxers at British Title level will figure him out in a round.

Be fascinating to see whether this is just a bit of a PR move (having Collins in the corner generates even more interest) or whether Frank thinks spending time away from London and getting his head down for some proper graft, away from distractions, in Dublin and with someone like Collins barking the orders is what he needs. Pretty sure Collins will school fighters like he prepared himself; which is no bullshit and total and utter commitment. This partnership will be interesting!

Did you watch it mate? I just read about what happened with Khomitsky being pulled out in Round 10 with some weird glove tape thing mentioned? Just wondered if you saw it whether you could tell me how the fight went and what the hell happened in round 10!?

Can Collins teach Buglioni the art of defence ? If he can't then a pointless move IMO.

He shouldv'e went with the cuban trainer Jorge Rubio

I thought Collins lived in England.

He does mate it'll be his brother pascal doing all the training in his gym here in dublin he's a brilliant coach and I'd say Steve will probably be a mentor figure pascals the main man

He can just pick the opponents mate

I really do think a lot of these fighters could do with spending a day a week with a defensive trainer or journeyman to learn how to tuck up or see out a round when they're hurt. Remember shouting at the screen when Mitchell was dropped against burns. Hold on. Run. Do something other than trade. Ryan clark was hitting frank with the right hand willy nilly.the lad learned nothing from that Seconded for komitsky when they faught. Again right hand every time. Mark must've worked on that but he can't of listened. Don't think Collins is the man to iron that out.

I'd agree with that. I wonder if they'll be a time when fighters will have a team for offence and a team for defence.

Steve Collins was a great fighter. Great fighters rarely transition into mediocre trainers.

I see this relationship failing miserably

I see. Or seen hell of a lot of fighters and trainers training fighters and you very rarely tell them what to do when they get tagged. The best fighters that's ever been at some point get hit and hurt. Yet don't know what too do when the inevitable happens
