Matchroom Radio Podcast Ep67: David Diamante with Derrick James

[@tosinbalogun1013]

Well done Matchroom for getting Diamanté to do this interview. Never seen Derrick so open and thorough in an interview. Very easy to watch and excellent questions.

[@lj4434]

Very simple and straightforward

[@superk6487]

What a great guy Derrick James is 🙏 My kind of coach

[@albertkadyakale]

I like the connection between James and AJ

[@ninjasrose1653]

I'm not gonna pretend to be the biggest AJ fan. But, this man is EXACTLY what he needed! I think we're gonna see a demolition job on Saturday!

[@christophersmith3254]

Wasn't a demolition job but was impressive how easily the victory was

[@ninjasrose1653]

@@christophersmith3254 It was lacklustre tbh

Matchroom out here giving us everything so much content to consume

[@PunchCraftCorner]

I wish AJ found this man after Ruiz loss; but make a statement tomorrow and I’m gonna join AJ hype train again….

Big up AJ big up Derek James 👊

[@lifeisblessed4802]

Ive never supported AJ im a Whyte and Fury supporter in the Heavyweight division, im wondering can there be a trilogy between AJ and Usyk ? after Usyk has won twice already,because i feel Derrick James is gonna bring more out of AJ,but who knows he has to get passed Franklin first and it will be intresting while it lasts

[@neverfeartruth6460]

Yes I believe so after AJ wins a couple fights for sure.🥊

[@baptistekande6000]

Maybe a Final exhibition fight before they officially retire from boxing like a Legacy fight.

[@Gorguruga]

I think it'll happen at some point. Fury ducked Usyk because imo he's trying to age him out. His style depends on athleticism, agility and speed. I'd guess in around two 2 or 3 years, when he's 38 or 39, Usyk will lose a step and be easier to beat. At that point, assuming they're both still in their prime, AJ and Fury might both beat Usyk. So it's just be a question of who fights that older, slower version of Usyk first. Looks like Fury might be trying to get the timing right to catch Usyk when he's on the decline.

[@lifeisblessed4802]

@@GorgurugaFury beats Usyk all day for me

[@Gorguruga]

​@@lifeisblessed4802 It's a 50-50 for me, I wouldn't be surprised if Fury won by mauling but the two guys Fury fought with some similarities to Usyk were cruiserweight Steve Cunningham (agile , decent footwork, Usyk's height) and Otto Wallin (southpaw).. Both gave Fury some major issues. Cunningham knocked him down but Fury used his size and mauled him to win. Wallin gave him a bad cut from a punch. Usyk's better than both and Fury knows it. Most likely why he ducked him for now, trying to age him out.

[@TheRaytarded]

Damn, I wish AJ had ran into Derrick earlier in his career, at least after the Ruiz loss. But we will have to wait until Saturday to see if this move was the right choice.

[@warpedspeed4517]

Man, all I keep thinking to myself is how cool it must be to be able to see all these great fighters training in the same place. Errol Spence, Jr, Jermell Charlo, Frank Martin and now, Anthony Joshua- this guy is helping to form some of the greatest fighters currently! Amazing, actually. Also, D. Diamante is THE MAN! 🖖

[@RK-jz8ns]

Great interview. Did not know Derrick James was this special. Really knows what he’s talking about. Especially impressed with his community work. Caring about the next generation.

[@bigdraggin9609]

great video💯🔥

[@gapeachdenise7]

Coach Derrick James 💪🏾

[@sugarfreemars]

Derrick James is something SERIOUS. This team up with AJ made my year. They're gonna dominate 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@boefit77]

Best trainer in the game!!! A.J. learning from the best....

[@JCRule69]

This is who AJ needs. He is a gym where he is not the number one focus, he can learn from other and he has a solid coach. Form here on in, it all about his mental focus and determination

[@rupertthomson767]

Good content, great interview

[@simplelife6827]

You can't help but to like this trainer.

[@leonmorris5150]

I understand AJ's performance on Saturday a bit better now. Work in progress with Derrick and hopefully more to come

[@jlhaven333]

David Diamante the best ring announcer in the game....And he is from Baltimore like me....Got that Baltimore accent!Great interview

[@flipspearing]

Man what an environment for AJ to be training in. Wouldn’t be surprised if we see him bring some seriously new edge to his fight this weekend.

[@arieszodiakboxing6669]

This was a good interview 👏🏽

[@jeribimin]

Great Coach great Man !

[@eggplanttornadopodcast]

Hopefully this is the combo that gets the old AJ back

[@WeAreRobotsUK]

Two top fellas

[@austratech6484]

The coach AJ needs, may take some time but he will get there!

[@thinkbigbegreat1368]

16:46 “Frank can really push but AJ can really really punch” that is not the first coach to say AJ has some insane punching power.

[@ifbbprosjt]

I like Derrick but that was a lame excuse comparing Roy and Ray. That’s a no go! Neither Terrance or Errol have the resume yet.

[@jsantiago5896]

derrick james should just quick training and join up with diamante for this podcast

[@J.R.Graham]

@Derrickjames my dude.👍💯🥊🤠J.R.

[@topentine]

D James is like am gonna let the dog out when i want it to bite. And when it bites you would see it.

[@steveteitelbaum1186]

Great interview

[@Thisworldthisweek]

YES!!!!

[@mikecalvin74]

Step out of comfort zone.I am wanting to see more direct and aggressive Aj. No nonsense approach.

[@Thisworldthisweek]

Just wish the hook up would of happened 5 years ago!!! I still think AJ has got 5 years and if he stays in this gym he will become champ again. The fairy sorry Fury fight won’t happen. Tyson don’t want it.

[@jamesdugdale2381]

Right

[@anthonyvanwyk1001]

[@A.H.6422]
