“Adam’s full of shit,” said an amused Dave Coldwell, one of Booth’s peers who worked alongside him for many years. “He would have felt something, surely.” He then added: “Me, I keep making the same mistakes. As the coach, you spend more time with a fighter than anyone else does – more than promoters, managers, strength and conditioning coaches. You kind of know everything about your fighter – their weaknesses, their strengths, whether they’re emotionally stable or not. With that, you get close. I don’t get these trainers who just view that relationship as a business and don’t let emotions get involved. How can you do that? When my fighters win a big title, I’ll cry. When they get beat, I’ll cry. I know what both those things mean to them.”
