At first I thought that BoMac was just a fortunate trainer who inherited a generational fighter. Even so, winning undisputed championships in 3 weight classes is NO joke (especially whilst remaining undefeated).
However, Crawford aside, I was REALLY impressed with Martinez's performance against Mbilli. I was super high on Mbilli and thought that Lester would cave in to the early pressure but he stood toe to toe with him all night and managed to get a draw. I think that's a case of hard work beating talent as Mbilli is definitely the more gifted fighter.
Separately, I was EQUALLY impressed with Eubank Jr's performance in the rematch against Liam Smith after getting flattened in the first fight. Many fighter's wouldn't fight like that after being stopped for the first time in their career but he shook off the nerves and did the same to him.
Finally, I was reminicing back to when Khan faced Brook and even though he clearly lost every round and looked like bambi on ice in there a few times, I was impressed at how Khan suddenly went from having a glass chin to managing to stay on his feet all night. Especially after having been knocked out half a dozen times going into the fight. I believe it was due to the conditioning and leg strengthening exercises Bomac forced him to do. It reminded me of the Ariza days where Khan was a lot more STEADY on his feet.
All in all, Bomac is a GREAT trainer plus we can't forget that he's also trained a world champion in Herring.
