Doug was a good kickboxer in his day and an okay boxer. Not sure how he stacks up as a trainer.
Plan was to have 8 -10 weeks in states as a prelude to moving over full time. Was organised to trail an American trainer with multiple world champions and just couldn't afford to take nz coach over for that length of time . So made a choice to train with a gym with multiple trainers in the downtime and lots of gd sparing at the gym . . Doug being one of the trainers. And to be fair doug was the last kiwi norm male to make the Olympics along side soul. Things changed with the schedule and a hard fight came up so we took and decided was best to dedicate to the group of trainers we have been using. Just one of those things and we are grateful for opportunity to fight on Tv live in states as well as all the people that have helped junior along the way. What I can say is the chemistry between doug , Eugene and junior is fantastic and the planning and game plan they have has been excellent with the current coaches. They have an eye for detail and junior is very engaged. I have every confidence that junior will be successful with doug over there and
