Anderson must think he is learning something if he is going back. Give him a fight with an orthodox fighter and then judge.

Terry D wrote:'the great Shannon everyone goes on about' actually busted his arse building up a gym year in and year out without any support from the local council, who have tried to get rid of him time and again, he did it off his own back, persevered through a personal tragedy that would have finished most men off and has never been one of these in vogue trainers. If people do go on about him, and they don't, then maybe it is because they know what he has done to make it in boxing. Working all day and then training the lads at night is no joke.

Very few people go on about him, the ones that do have seen how hard he worked to turn his gym into a place of Champions, in recent times he has had a fairly typical track record with British Champions coming and going, as is the case for most trainers.

Make him the scapegoat by all means but look at the fights, he gave Anderson the right advice, Anderson's loyalty to Bob also suggests that Kevin may feel he stayed in a small gym for too long.

One bad fight, fine, having 2 shockers in a row aint good mate. You dont turn into a dud fighter overnight, so it must be his preparation, that's the way I see it

WHAT RIGHT ADVISE WOULD THAT BE THEN?? Shannon may have had a few knocks in life, and he has done well coming back from a nightmare couple of years for whatever reason, but that doesnt make him a great trainer does it? And there ae plenty of trainers all over the country that work during the day and open the gym at night, so dont see your point there either? If he was that good Anderson would never have got beaten off that mug. Small gyms? Anderson would be better staying there then, cause he's crap now
