Comments Thread For: Derrick James: "You Will See The Best Technical Version Of Errol Spence Because He Has To Be"

[Roadblock]

Who are you bringing in Derek? You're a trash trainer, AJ looks worse than ever, Martin almost got beat and Joan Guzman is the real trainer behind Charlo....

Trash trainer lol, some high ranking experts in here.

I can not wait for this fight, and we get Inoue vs Fulton the same week?? Come on, next week!!

Derrick was a non-technical boxer himself or rather a "door-mat" so I am not convinced about applying technical know-how to his boxers, all seem to master basics and fitness (just my opinion). Best wishes to both boxers, such an interesting fight

Some of greatest trainers in history never had a fight, other greats were very average boxers, and on the flip side some of the greatest fighters make lousy trainers.

I’m guessing you believe Freddy Roach was a great fighter because he’s a great trainer?
Perhaps Robert Garcia, Roger Mayweather, Naazim Richardson, Emmanuel Steward, Virgil Hunter, Nomac were ALL great boxers too?

Whilst I agree with you but I'm yet to see a very technical fighter coming out of his stable other than all his fighters masters the basics of boxing (commendable approach). So again I'm not convinced about a technical sound Errol but let's see on the fight day

I am loving that your guesses are so flawed like you have missed the point raised in my comment. Which technical fighter comes out of his stable? Maybe if you understand that major adjustment on technicalities are not a one fight situation then you will utter your Freddy analogy.

Errol is already technically sound, great fundamentals so are the Charlo brothers , I think Derrick just means Errol will have a tightly focused game on an already very sound fighter.

Outside of basic technique in boxing, it's not really technical, but more about athleticism with hand-to-eye coordination etc, the sugar in boxing.

I don't think you know what technical means in boxing.

Technical = master of technique

Technique in boxing = knowing how to throw every single punch and basically how to do everything.

I don't think it's the technical ability you should question in the Derick James camp, but rather the tactical ability.

That's what I question about his fighters

For me his fighters never seem to have a clear, solid game plan for the specific opponent.

Errol Spence is an anomaly because he is so inteligent and is able to make his own in ring adjustments, plus he has such a high volume and aggressive mentality that he can make up from the lack of tactics and strategy from James.

But the fighters with lower IQ like Charlo and Martin I feel suffer from Jame's poor tactical ability.

Yes, he teaches his fighters every technical skill in boxing and makes sure they master them, but what use is that if they lack the IQ to put it together in the ring?

Spence aside, his fighters need better pre fight tactics and strategies from him.

Charlo benefitted greatly from bringing in Juan Guzmann into his camp.

I could literally see Guzmann's work in the Castano rematch, and that was after just one camp with Guzmann.

He'll have had two camps with Guzmann in the Canelo fight.

Honestly I think Canelo is going to have a really hard time with Charlo.
