Dude's done something right. I'm not a big believer in coincidences and I don't think blind chance lead the Ukraine 2012 Olympic to team to success nor that 2 top p4pers were under his tutelage. That said, we've yet to see what he can do to improve a mature fighter who comes to him to improve his game - his teaching methods may not be as useful to someone who hasn't been exposed to them from relatively early in their careers.

He's arguably got the top 2 P4P guys in the sport at the moment so he's doing something right. At the same time, you need special athletes to reach the levels those guys are at. Loma and Usyk are gifted but have learned a great way of boxing from early on to go along with their natural abilities.

He helped Usyk during 2012 Olypmics and only when Usyk needs major help. he aint preparing him for every fight, neither when he was an amateur.
He must be an excellent trainer if he singlehandedly led Loma to where he is today. The one critique people can make is the fact that he couldn't solve the style of journeyman Salido.

Seriously. How did that idiot trainer not know Salido wouldn't make weight or be deducted points for low blows? I'm pretty sure those stipulations were in the contract. Even more absurd, one of the judges actually scored that fight for Lomachenko. Seriously?

I would say the "mature" fighter would be the one to blame in this situation if he can't adapt
