I've always favored boxing over MMA and have always been a boxing guy first. But one problem I always see in boxing is how often fighters migrate from one trainer to the other. How can they train like that? There's no loyalty, trust, or companionship. How can the trainer effectively train a guy who he can't share some kind of bond with? He's not going to care if you win or lose. He's getting his paycheck either way. I mean, one minute Freddie Roach is helping Oscar. The next minute, he's telling Manny Pacquiao to pounce on his asss.
It's like every time a fighter loses, he just says "screw this guy, I'm out."
In MMA, loyalty is important. Those guys are like families. Win, lose or draw, they don't abandon their guys. To me, that's pretty real. And I just can't hate on that. You will never see Nick Diaz fight Jake Shields. Even if it's for a title. That's some real **** right there.
