Spinksjinx noticed in another thread that Wlad, Harris, and Lennox , all trained by Steward, had gassed out in their very important fights. All of them seem to have had serious stamina issues. I wonder if this is a real phenomeon or a mere coincidence.
Exactly which is why Manny needs to revamp his technique. He has great tactical training skills but NEVER has his conditioning been good. The only fighters who come to mind of his who did well was Moorer and Mclellan which were beasts in training anyways.
I think that there are actually two emmanual stewards. The old one and the new.
The old emmanuel steewart had Thomans Hearns ripped and ready for every fight. Tommy had no legs but his upper body was cut like a machine. hos workout videos are amazing. That is when the Kronk gym was not on the map yet and also when Emmanuel was up and coming..
Now the new Emmanuel has been established as a great trainer (Or at least in the eyes of many) He is used to commentating on HBO etc and nowadays he only seems to care about money. Every fighter he trains comes in outta shape etc. He doesnt act like the old emmanuel stewart. Lewis was filming movies before the rahman fight. Lewis came in out of shape many a time. Harris got pummeled and was not conditioned properly etc. Do you ever remember Tommy being this way???
but he had not ...

i read that harris was so hyped up the day before the fight that he jogged five miles instead of following mannys directions to rest. when he went back to hotel he told stewart and stewart went ballistic.
HBO confirmed he came to Stewards hotel room the night before and said he felt so much pressure he wanted to practice and hit the mitts. Manny should have comforted him and said it was normal and prepared him mentally and told him to go and rest.

where did you read this?
I think it is because Steward doesnt have control over his fighters. Case in point Hearns gets a massage, Vivian hits the mitts. He might overtrain them in the gym as well.
Manny is great but I think it is the preparation and ability control his fighters.
I agree with spinx he doesnt have control over these guys.
If they feel they dont need to run, they dont and they do something else.Stamina is the #1 priority in boxing,you could have the fastest and strongest car but if it runs out of gas before the finish line then its fuckin useless.
Manny probably only works w/ technique and works in the corner to give advice and leaves conditioning to someone else.
Wladimir was lifting a lot of weights during his time at the Kronk gym in preparation for Brewster. I think that was his downfall.

lol; it is either beans or vaseline
lol seriously though i don't know, with harris it could have been the nerves and that he went all out in the first, but still strange he ran out of gas that quick. wlad fight haven't seen only pictures where he looked very weird on like he was sick or something. and lewis his stamina was good, when in shape.
