Buddy McGirt

Buddy McGirt earns my respect twice over. First as a fighter who claimed world titles in two weight classes, then as a trainer good enough to win Trainer of the Year in 2002 and enter the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2019. That second act is what really impresses me: very few champions translate their instincts into teaching others at an elite level. Having felt the punches himself, he knows precisely what words a fighter needs in the corner. I am genuinely drawn to craftsmen who master both sides of their trade.
