What makes a good boxing trainer? We asked two trainers

Experience is crucial during a conversation with experienced boxing coaches Bobby Benton and Aaron Navarro.

These two coaches have collaborated with the former owner of the title in welterweight, Regis Prograis and currently have the younger featherlight Beltholder O’Shaquie Foster.

Benton and Navarro worked with all types of fighters from the Main Street boxing gym in Houston, from outstanding perspectives at the highest level to inconspicuous fighters who try to appear and do something with each other, even if they are narrow.

Benton, the main voice in the corner, and Navarro, respected cutman, are philosophical about what makes a good boxing trainer. These types of conversations often lead to arguments, not conclusions.

Without hesitation, Benton emphasized experience as a thing that distinguishes a good trainer from others. Navarro had his own thoughts.

“Going from below,” said Navarro. “You start with kindergarten and work to the place where you are in college and so on.”

Navarro uses a metaphor, but its point is well received. You have to start from below and go to the fighters at the top of sport. If you don’t do this, it can happen, which you haven’t met yet.

Being a good coach concerns such a process and steps taken, as about when a subtle hand will fall. It is an expression sparingly and it is perceived in the world of boxing as a real compliment: if you are a “real guy” or “real boxing guy”, you are in sport in a way that requires respect. You may not aspire to be a “real guy”, but when it was experience, you can’t take it.

“You can’t miss the line in this sport and be justified,” said Navarro. “You must put in your work, pay contributions and learn from those before you. It really isn’t going on if you really are a boxing guy. “

Benton believes that the understanding of the warrior is also part of the fabric of the great coach. You can’t have a cookie approach and believe that one style will work for everyone.

“You have to come up with warriors,” said Benton. “They are all different. You can’t treat them the same. [You’re] determining what drives them and what ignites them, what slows them down and then [you’re] from there. “

And then there was one. After presenting an absolutely wonderful card on Saturday, Honor Saudi Sports Turki Al-Sheikh gave fans the main event between the two future Hall of Famers, who played their first round Razor Edged Twelve Round last year. After winning the first throw in October, Artur Beterbaview, the undefeated, undisputed world champion 21-0 in massive weight, slipped on Saturday between the ropes to take part in his equal equal, and Arch Nemesis, 23-1 Dmitry Bivol. The fight was scheduled for 12 championship rounds.

The first saw every warrior is uncertain – and rightly so. Bivol used well while Beterbiev began to exert pressure. Bivol shot quick shots in the second. Beterbav, always patient, pushed his own stab. Beterbiev immediately raised the pressure at the beginning of the third. Bivol, however, threw and landed. Beterbiev threw heavily in the fourth and Bivol’s exit fell. Beterbiev was still pushing the action and hit fifth firmly. Indeed, at the end of the round it seemed that Bivol could begin to fall apart.

The sixth saw Bivol alive at the end and fought successfully, although Beterbiev could hurt him a few seconds before the bell. Bivol simply did not look particularly keen in seventh place. The pace slowed down, but Beterbiev was clearly more busy from two fighters. Bivol was able to land immaculate and tough to Beterbaiew in eighth place. He was also able to throw combinations. Bivol still looked rejuvenated in the ninth place when he launched instant combinations in Beterbiv.

Beterbiev tried to be aggressive again in the tenth, but Bivola’s combinations, reminiscent of Ray Leonard, finally told the story of the round. The eleventh was close, but Bivol looked so polished when he had his dominant moments that these moments could be more impressive than Beterbiev. The twelfth and last round was just as impressive as the rest of the fight, although Beterbiev seemed to fight his man in the final round.

It all depends on the judges … who ruled Bivol with the result of 114-114, 116-112 and 115-113.

The dominant logic aimed at a rematch is that anyone won the first fight, usually wins the second easier. Dmitriry Bivol raised this logic on Saturday evening, when he took revenge on the only man who defeated him as a professional.

Bivol defeated his Russian compatriot Artur Beterbavera in the majority of Anb Arena in Riyjad, Saudi Arabia to win the undisputed lightweight championship. Two judges fired a fight in his favor, 115-113 and 116-112, and the third had it even in 114-114-the same results as the first fight, but for another winner.

What was it different? Bivol says it has changed himself from the first fight.

“I was better, I was pushing more, I was more confident, I was lighter and I just wanted to win so much today,” said Bivol, 24-1 (12 KO), in an interview after the fight.

“I’m so elated. I’ve been going through a lot in recent years.

“To be sincere, I lost and maybe I felt a little easier. I didn’t have too much pressure as before. And I just wanted to work from the first round to the end of the 12th round. “

Beterbav, which falls to 21-1 (20 KO), now has its first losing with the only boxer who has ever gone with him. Beterbav, although still processing the loss, already had eyes for the future. Beterbiev took a clue from the head of the season of Riyjad Turka Alalshikh, who signaled what would happen next, raising three fingers: the trilogy.

“I don’t know, I think this fight is better than the first fight, but we’ll see. The time has come to come back, “said 40-year-old Beterbiev, who refused to comment on the decision.

“I didn’t really want a second fight either; This is not my choice, but no problem. We are definitely going to the third fight. “

34 -year -old Bivol was less obliged to his future, saying that he needed a little free to deal with injuries that are in line with the normal process of the training camp.

“I am usually ready for every challenge, but I want to rest a bit because I have some injuries in the summer and this time I suffered an injury and used anti -infamlation [treatment] Almost the entire camp. I want to cure myself and then come back – said Bivol.

The third fight means a clash with David Benavidez, who became another logical contender for the winner, defeating David Morrell at the beginning of this month according to a unanimous decision, he will have to wait for Bivol and Beterbiev to deal with their unfinished matter. Benavidez, 30-0 (24 KO), has a featherlight heavyweight title WBC.
