The doctors did an incredible job stitching his face back together. I mean not even a small cut on Spence's face that's impressive, so is the way he fought Danny. Errol Spence's will to win is a force to be reckoned with in the welterweight division, and that's the truth. Danny had his opportunities, but he just just doesn't throw enough punches. That's why he's in desperate need of an elite corner, to give him a sense of urgency in his fights.Comment

I actually think his dad is an elite trainer but they do need to make improvements.
Recently George Foreman and Floyd Mayweather offered to help with Wilder's training and Mayweather was in camp with Davis and his trainer helping him improve his skill level.
Another example is that Haney is rained by his dad and so is Eubanks junior but both guys have been in the Mayweather gym training with the Mayweathers and getting some help with their training.
So my point is, Danny doesn't actually have to change trainers, but they do need to get some OGs or other trainers helping out and helping them improve on the things that they need to improve.
I am a firm believer in Danny's talent and I also believe in the chemistry between him and his father. But they need to do research and make improvemens maybe with the help of other trainers or get an OG or two to help out every once in a while.
Danny doesn't need to make a whole lot of changes, just small little tweeks.
For example, the left hook and the no look hook. Danny doesn't have to abandon it he just needs to use variation on it to set it up. He can hook or jo look hook to the body for example instead of the head. Smash them ribs a couple of times and I guarantee the third of fourth time he throws it, the opponent will drop his arm to cover them body and he can turn it into a hook to the head at that moment and get a KO or KD.
Look at the Davis KO of Santa Crus for example. Watch it again and you will see how Davis set it up with body shots.
Earlier he was throwing a lot of body shots throughout the fight. In that moment, he feinted like he was aiming for the body and turned it into an uppercut to the head in the last moment.
In the replay you can literally see Santa Cruz quickly trying to cover his body with his arm, thereby exposing his head to the clean uppercut KO.
Small little set ups like that can do Danny a world of good.
I also believe his physical strength is being under used. Danny is almost as strong as Spence and stronger than Thurman and Porter, but he only uses his strength for defensive purposes.
I think learning to use his strength offensively like Spence and Porter do or and guys like Maidana did would do him a world of good.
I think he also needs to learn to walk guys down. I know he likes to fight within himself and at his own pace, I know he is a counter puncher but you can actually counter punch going forward. You don't always have to be stationery to do that. Another example is the one I meantioned earlier of Davis. That cupper cut was a counter punch, but Davis was going forward and had Leo trapped on the ropes. So you don't have to be on the back foot or to he stationery in order to counter punch, you can do it while walking your opponent down.
Also look at how Davis fought Leo and tell me its not almost exactly how Floyd fought Judah and Mcgregor.
Not neccessarily the punch selection but the style and approach and the constant adjustements he was making.
This is what I mean when I talk about getting OGs in your corner to help out with training and not necessarily changing your trainer.
Nevertheless Danny needs to not give up or lose confidence. He is too talented for that. They just need to accept that they need help. Acceptance is the first phase of healing, recovery, and improvement.
Sorry for the super long reply, I got carried away with my own thoughts. Forgive me.Comment
