im taking roach. seems like steward trains all his fighters the same way (jab jab right) instead of taking what that fighter brings to the gym and advancing that. imo he was the downfall of JT.Comment

I don't think you could go wrong either way. Right now, Roach has the higher profile, due to the success of Pacman, and Steward fighters have had a string of high profile losses (Lee, Cintron, Taylor) which caused some of them to look elsewhere. But all of this stuff is cyclical. If Banks and Lee start wrecking guys, and if Pacman takes a loss this year, their reps would be reversed in the short term public perception. That being said, I'd pick Steward to be in my corner. I think his problems with Taylor and Cintron had more to do with personality conflicts and old ingrained habits being so hard to break than his ability to teach technique and strategy. If a guy has been training a certain way and building habits since his amateur days, it's tough to completely change his style over the course of a few months or even over a few fights. Look and Gamboa's problems, the guy faces some adversity in a fight and he reverts to old habits and reflexes which have already been established.Comment
