Is Buddy Mcgirt overrated as a trainer?

Julio needed to go for the KO on his last fight,Mcgirt told him to keep jabing. I don't understand that!

I think his training career would go unoticed if Gatti loses to Baldomir.

Did he give Julio the same advice he gave Tarver going into the 12th?

FUCK YES. ANYONE WATCH THE TARVER FIGHT? tARVER HAS GREAT PHYSICAL SKILLS and ability, but none of it showed against Hopkins. And yes BHop makes you look bad, but Tarver wasn't even trying. His training and mindset before the fight must have been some joke. Did he not know he was facing a boxing master? What an asshole.

I've had a sneaking feeling for a while that McGirt was overrated. I'm curious to see how he handles his kid this weekend on ShoBox.

without question i thought the same thing after seeing him training julio

Now that I think about it, his fighters havent been doing well at all recently... Jimmy Lange Antonio Tarver Joel Julio Lamon Brewster Clifford Etiene all have lost their last fight with him as their trainer, and I know for sure that Im missing more. What he did with Gatti is helping him, but like someone said before, the game plane he set up for Gatti against Mayweather was just awful. Hes most popular though because he develops friendships with his fighters, and he really cares about them.

Hell yea i think he's over-rated. He gives his fighters the wrong advice and his fighters can never adapt to changes in the fight. it seems they train for one style and if they r wrong they r fu**ed.

I actually think the Gatti-Ward triology is over-rated, and I love Gatti. The first fight between them no doubt was classic, but I still think gatti won that. My fav Gatti fights were before that when he was a straight brawler. vs rodreqez & robinson

i never really have cared for him as a trainer. nothing special besides the gatti ward fights IMO. as for joel julio, i blame his management for that loss. he should not have been fighting quintana, his record does not reflect his opposition most wins were in columbia

I think he's a terrible trainer and I rarely agree with his corner advise. He often tells his fighter one thing and then contradicts himself later in the fight, hanging his fighters out to dry.

Recently many of his top fighters have been getting schooled: Gatti, Brewster, Tarver, and now Joel Julio. What is going on with Buddy and his training? Does he get to much credit for resurrecting Gatti's career or are his fighters overmatched? i dont think any trainer is overrated....each have their own styles...thats what makes the position so unique
