lol at nephilims comment

i was recently doing the corner for several guys from my gym and was trying hard not just to shout hit him hit him f***** hit him!!!!!

I think a good corner man should have fight experience,

I have seen some quality instructors do an appalling job at cornering there fighters
,
Fellow fighters sometimes make good corner men, (as if you’re a 1st timer its re-assuring when they say I know how you feel,….)

Being able to read the opponent and guide your fighter,

giving constructive criticism and praise not just saying that was shit or that was great

Letting your fighter know your there for them

One of the girls had her 1st fight she was terrified I said to her she hasn’t got to fight id she doesn’t want to,

I also told her fear is good if she wasn’t scared id be worried she wasn’t taking the fight serious,

I said use that fear and turn it into strength, She drew her fight and the other girl was battered

remembering to give them water re-assure them and put there mouth guard back in!!!

Also knowing when to throw the towel in I seen fighters take a beating cos there to proud to stop or the corner man tells the to get back out there even when they are getting smashed (its easy to say your ok form outside the ring)

Having heart is a great thing but walking into a brick wall is stupid.

this is jus my opinion and i have only had a few fights myself.
