Derrick James is the most overrated trainer ever

[DoubleMM]

time to say it. his fighters suck and he gives AWFUL advice in the corner. he seemed totally unprepared.

You cant advise a guy that's getting beat to death at every turn and doesn't have the tools to change anything, don't look for bad just look for the good in the winner, sometimes the other guy is just too good no matter what you do, Ive never seen a one sided beating where the trainer made a bit of difference.

Totally agree but in all honesty he is not a great trainer like he was said to be
I’ve said this before , see my posts
The downfall is here , watch Ryan , AJ etc etc etc
The stable is coming down

I'm sorry but he's taken Spence from amateur to a bronze medal in the olympics, to one of the most fundamentally sound and best professional fighters in the world.

Anyone buys into this opinion is dumb as fcuk.

The trainer said something along the lines of "what do you expect, the guy doesn't move his damn head and he doesn't use feints." As his reasoning and here we are...
