One of the most underrated trainers.
He does not get the credit he deserves for the way he developed fighters and was treated poorly by Bernard.
He was the true scholar of boxing not “Nazim Richards”. Bouie Fisher was the brains and Nazim was just the mouth piece.
“Bouie”Fisher No Doubt Was A Great”Old School”Boxing Trainer Who Knew Every Trick In The Book And Did A Tremendous Job Training Bernard Hopkins And Keeping Him On Top As The Undisputed Middleweight Champion Of The World For Many Years He’ll Definatly Be Missed Throughout The Boxing World My Thoughts And Prayers Go Out To His Entire Family!
