The fallacy of most boxing trainers is immediately obvious after observing a few minutes of a professional/amateur bout or visiting a boxing gym. These shortcomings vary from trainer to trainer yet are consistent. Some of the observed fallacies or shortcomings are; failing to challenge their fighters, failing to encourage creativity, criticize their fighters for being different or individuals, understating the necessity of defense, lack of balance training, chastising their fighters for being stylistic, insisting it is their way or no way, refusal to work with fighters after learning they have visited another gym, absence of intensity, allowing laziness in the gym, failure to study footwork, trainers are spread too thin, forget the basis and foundation of the sweet science, the delineation between everyday training vs training for a bout. Most significant is trainers often forget what they put in a fighter is what a fighter puts out in their bouts. Many trainers are also content with their fighter leaving the ring with a “W” next to their name.
