TOP 5 TRAINERS IN
THE WORLD
Wittman Gets Honorable
Mention.
By Douglass Fisher with MAXBOXING April
12, 2007
My top five active trainers right now are: Beristain (finally getting
mainstream respect because of the Marquez Bros., did wonders with the
crude Daniel Zaragoza, “Finito” is his masterpiece), Emanuel Steward
(obviously famous for his Kronk team, has resurrected both Wladdy
Klitschko and Kermit Cintron, Lewis is his masterpiece), Freddie Roach
(Virgil Hill first got his face out there as a trainer, he helped bring
James Toney back from the depths of despair, Manny Pacquiao is his
masterpiece, and I think he’ll have De La Hoya looking **** sharp), Joe
Goossen (the success of the Ruelas Bros earned him mainstream props,
transformed Joel Casamayor from a great amateur to a professional world
champ, had people believing in Mount Whitaker, turned Diego Corrales’
career around for a short period, masterpiece is Michael Nunn) and Floyd
Mayweather Sr. (Joy did very well with both Chad Dawson and Steve
Forbes, Mayweather Jr. is his masterpiece).
Honorable mention: Amilcar Brusa (I don’t know if the old man is still
training anymore but he’s a bona fide legend; I think Baldomir was his
14th world champ), Jesse Reid (you talk about MOTIVATORS, this man is
one of the most underrated trainers/conermen that I know of), Tommy
Brooks, Fritz Sdunek, Teddy Atlas, Ronnie Shields, Evangelista Cotto,
“Ice” John Scully, Trevor Wittman,
Tom Yankello, Joe Hernandez, Rudy Hernandez, Buddy McGirt, Enzo Calzaghe,
Wayne McCullough, Michael Timm and I’m sure I’m leaving off numerous
worthy trainers/coaches/teachers/conditioners/motivators. |

 Tired
of paying your hard-earned cash for events packed with
hype and little else? Sick of sitting down for a
pay-per-view event and finding out that you’re paying
over $50 for just three fights that include a showcase
and a mismatch? The Ultimate Fighting Championship® has
the cure for what is ailing fight fans, and in a
continuing effort to provide what the world is truly
waiting for, it is announcing yet another UFC card
stacked with at least five fights that include two
intense championship bouts and a heated grudge match
between two light heavyweight rivals. UFC 73: STACKED
features UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson “The Spider”
Silva in his first title defense vs. Nate “The Great”
Marquardt. UFC Lightweight Champion Sean “The Muscle
Shark” Sherk puts his newly-won belt on the line vs.
Brazil’s Hermes Franca. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira steps
into the Octagon™ for the first time for a heavyweight
war with Heath Herring – and Tito Ortiz intends to put a
painful end to Rashad Evans’ perfect 15-0 record. Let
the fireworks begin. UFC 73, loaded with UFC superstars,
takes place LIVE from ARCO Arena in Sacramento, Calif.
Saturday, July 7, 2007.
Silva (18-4), fighting out of Curitiba,
Brazil, defeated Rich Franklin by first round TKO at UFC
64 to become the new UFC Middleweight Champion. He is an
extremely well-rounded fighter with phenomenal striking
skills. He took on Travis Lutter in what was supposed to
be his first title defense, but Lutter fell short of
making weight by a half-pound. As a result their fight
was altered to a three-round non-championship bout, but
Silva still finished Lutter by submission at 2:11 of the
second round. “The Spider” is looking forward to
fighting Marquardt and nabbing his first successful
title defense in the UFC. Wyoming-native Nathan
Marquardt has yet to disappoint in mixed martial arts
competition, as he has put together an impressive resume
that includes 28 wins, a black belt in Brazilian
Jiu-Jitsu, and recognition as a seven-time King of
Pancrase. In the UFC, Marquardt’s success has continued,
with wins over Ivan Salaverry, Joe Doerksen, Crafton
Wallace and Dean Lister. Marquardt has earned this shot
at UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva, and plans
to take out the Brazilian champion and take home his
middleweight crown.

The
Resurgent Career of Verno Phillips
By Chris Scott-Brown-April 4, 2007
Boxing is a sport that is full of comeback stories about athletes who
have left the sport only to return, seeking that one last hurrah.
Muhammad Ali was stripped of his title in 1967 and not allowed to box
professionally for three years. When he finally was allowed to return to
the ring three years later, he gave us 4 ring magazine fights of the
year in the process of becoming the heavyweight champion again. George
Foreman retired for nearly ten years following his loss to Jimmy Young,
but he returned becoming the oldest man ever to win the heavyweight
championship. Even Rocky Balboa returned to boxing to give a spirited
performance against the heavyweight champion of the world following a
sixteen year lay off. The list goes on and on of boxers who have taken
time off only to comeback and be as or even more successful in the
sport. Verno Phillips is one more name that you can add to this list.
