I Thought Popachenko was supposed to be a Genius

[DumpkinsPlus5]

Wasn't Popachenko supposed to be this boxing wizard that created the greatest fighter of all time and knows things about the sport that no other trainer or fighter knew?

So...Where were the adjustments?

"Be patient. Just be patient."

Really? That's it? That's all he had to say in between rounds. The great boxing sage could only come up with a game plan of waiting until Lopez got tired...With no adjustments in between. No, go to the body? Nothing?

I respect Loma for trusting and following his trainers game plan, because he definitely was patient.

people just look at unconventional training methods and think it’s some special thing.

You can juggle as many tennis balls as you want, but when a sharper stronger fighter cracks you in the body in the first round and makes you gun shy, then circus tricks aren’t going to help you. This is boxing.

I understand the method of the training techniques, coordination etc.. but I think there is no better practice than actually boxing. A concert pianist isn’t juggling their music score and riding around the piano on a unicycle, they are sat at the piano practising because that’s what matters.

just be patient or u will be a patient (in a hospital :-) )

[GrandpaBernard]

I was expecting Loma to be a whole lot more versatile and capable of adjustments

why?
what would make you think that?

[ShoulderRoll]

He came up with a terrible gameplan last night, that's for sure.

[Larry the boss]

He obviously has been doing a hell of a job with not just Loma but with several fighters

Yes.

Floyd Mayweather's training was quite basic, quite old school but substantial 'The only thing that was maybe different was? His sparring, with continuous rounds'.

We live in a age of scientism, people idolize these new sport science concepts 'Which compartmentalized boxing'.

Not entirely knocking sport science, as I have been involved with sports 'That have been throughout history, pioneers of sports science'.

As a boxer you have to prioritize your time in training, you have to wonder? Have all these fancy routines, really been worth it for Lomachenko 'Truly great fighters PASS tests, Lomachenko has failed two big test now'.

There was nothing fancy about Joe Calzaghe, and his training methods 'But he passed all the test, that where asked of him inside of the ring'.

His reputation of being a master technician

I didn’t watch him closely tbh

He’s a very 2-dimensional fighter and needs to get into an obvious rhythm

It takes a smart fighter to school Rigo so hard that he quits
