            Brain damage, eye damage, etc. Pretty common, pretty likely.

              Ya, alot of these trainers when they get older are a good attribute to the wear and tear this sport can potentially put on you.

              my first trainer had alot of ring age on him, you could tell. he never went professional, you could tell he obviously wasn't right.

              same with roger.

              same with freddy.

              and these are just a few of the trainers you see in the game these days on the world level, imagine all the trainers in the world of boxing that participated and had a pro career. the goal of the sport is to inflict pain and damage to where the other guy is unconscious, these coincidences aren't surprising to me.

                  we're talking amatuer boxing here. It's like comparing day time to night time, they are not the same. The coaches that I have encountered who only rolled amatuer do not show the usual wear and tear that a former professional would and I've met 100's. As for your coach who only fought amatuer and shows the "usual" wear and tear I would venture to say that he is a heavy drinker or drug user at this time or sometime in the past..............Rockin'
