DUMB Advice from the Corner...

I dont speak Spanish but i was told that Tito was told many times by his father in the corner of the Winky Wright fight that everything is OK.

 

More and more I realize that the actual trainers can be great in the gym when they are training, motivating, conditioning, and technique. Once they get ringside I think maybe anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of boxing and a keen observation, could do as well as some of the hacks out there now.

 

Are you guys not from America? Not that there's anything wrong with that, but saying you have a monkey on your back is just a figure of speech for saying that something is physically not feeling right.

 

Actually Shane was more like letting his father know that he was feeling a little wary of throwing the punch because Oscar was actually faster than Shane was in this fight. So yeah, he did say it, but not in the sissy way that many Shane haters (Floyd included) like to make it seem. He was merely discussing the strategy with his father. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

 

having a monkey on your back is usually used in reference to a mental affliction or a dependency (not being able to get over something or addicted to heroin), not that your shoulders are sore or you think you tore a muscle.

 

Yeah, if Steward tells you something like "up the pace", "go for the kill", "he is tired" you are done. ::

 

Yeah seriously, how the hell as Steward maintained his reputation until now? He is awful, a joke of a trainer now.

 

Not in the way Mosley used it. But yeah, you're right, that is usually what it's referrenced for.
