Derrick James' prized pupil is Errol Spence Jr; from the root to the fruit, you can see James' philosophy manifest in how Spence has been schooled. On balance, hair-trigger set to fire, effective movement, effective use of punches/combinations, etc.
When working with fighters who have been schooled elsewhere, James isn't going to completely re-write their style, but he's going to clean up any mistakes and look to add things that he coaches that he believes will work for the fighter.
Jermell Charlo is coming out, looking to sit down on his shots, in a way that he never really did with Ronnie Shields (compared to Jermall, who's been basically sitting down on his shots from the jump).
A similar example could be laid out for the work that Virgil Hunter does and the with that Robert Garcia does (Andre Ward and Mikey Garcia are the prized pupils, respectively, and both trainers simply focus in on tweaking what the fighters that come to then can best do in the ring).Comment

^^^ pretty much this.Check the technique!! These guys are being taught the correct way to throw punches. Look at how Jermall shoots his right hand in the Hatley KO and the anticipation in where Lubin was going to duck to when he threw the jab. Also, Jermell always had power but was usually on the backfoot when he was with Ronnie. And Spence breakdowns fighters with leverage and technique, Jermell so happens to get the "I can't get up" KO's.Comment

I'm tempted myself, if it was in the U.S I'd have no problem doing it, but as it's in Germany I feel he may need to KO Braehmer to get the win.Comment

Ronnie likely showed both brothers; Jermall seemed to be the only one of the two to pick it up. Derrick James came with a different approach, and it finally clicked for Jermell.Comment

Mall is just the naturally more aggressive brother. I mean Lara and Jermall fight nothing alike. Jermell fought more closely like Lara than Jermall does.
That was always the difference with the bros. Now not so much.Comment
