To be fair...in regards to the HBO telecast...

Lets call it like it is, Steward is an insecure egomaniac. That's why he is always so quick to say that he knew whatever happened was going to. It's embarrassing to listen to sometimes.

In reference to Emmanuel's broadcast of the fight and in regard to his comments about how and why I was moved into the position of head trainer....his comments were off base and innaccurate...the truth is...let's say more in favor of myself than was let on...normally I would let it go but so many people watch HBO and everything said reflects someone or something in a good, bad or even way...may as well have accurate info, right? That's all Im saying...

Yeah I heard Chad quoted before the fight to that effect also. Maybe Emmanuel was told something different though?

True it is annoying but egomania seems to more often then not come with the territory ya know...

well in my opinion it's all about his ego. he don't want to look like he got sent on the side. i think he's past prime anyway. let him just do commentating. he old. let this new guys get the limelight. plus i like john scully he one of us in here. that's good enough.

Nah, it was made very clear...

[Bobby No Sex]

Nah, it was made very clear...

well now hopkins got his belt back will there be a rematch?

[kurupt1019]

agree, very out of line by steward, chad clearly stated he felt comfortable with his new trainer.

[IronDanHamza]

Sometimes Emmanuel Steward will say something that is literally complete nonsense and has no clue what he's talking about.

I.e Pretty much everything to do with Darren Barker in his fight with Martinez.

I imagine this was on of those moments which are becoming more and more frequent.

Yeah Emmanuel seems like a likeable guy in-front of the camera, but you hear things in interviews from boxing people - e.g. Jack Loew complaining that Manny never gave him his props when Pavlik knocked out Taylor, not even so much as a handshake. That wasn't very classy at all - kinda sounds like Manny was ashamed to have lost to an 'unknown' trainer like Loew, and he didn't want to have to suck it up.

I remember that, he was definitely throwing a tantrum after Taylor was KO'd. He also seemed to leave Cintron in the dust after Margarito plastered him the second time.
