The countdown to the Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley bout is ticking down, and there are just a few weeks left until fight night on May 7th. One of the major players in the bout is Mosley’s trainer, the venerable Naazim Richardson. Take a look at this video interview featuring Richardson, how training is going with Mosley, the game plan for the upcoming bout, and more.
Richardson has long been a respected figure in the fight game, but his status has grown immensely over the past few years. This is thanks to his work with Bernard Hopkins, as well as his work with Mosley. Specifically though, he was right in the middle of the Antonio Margarito hand wrapping scandal.
As Mosley’s trainer that night, he was the one who checked and spotted the illicit and hand wraps, and brought that to the commission’s attention. Now though, he’s a dedicated, detailed, game planner, and he’s looking to bring the best out of his charge Shane Mosley in hopes of creating another big upset.
