Quotes
“If I were managing a fighter & needed a trainer who could take us all the way, Tommy Yankello would be on my short list. What he does with his talent is very impressive. His passion & enthusiasm for the sport, & his commitment to his fighters, is as good as anybody’s.” – Joe Tessitore, ESPN Boxing “Brock’s development & improvement has been as startling as that of any boxer in recent memory.” – Steve Kim, MaxBoxing “Whenever a fighter improves as quickly & drastically as Minto has, he becomes an unknown commodity that makes it harder to find him a big fight. None of the bigger names seem to want to step up & risk what they’ve got against a guy who looks better & better with every fight the way he does. He’s the most rapidly improving fighter on the planet.” – Dino Duva, Promoter “Had this been a year ago, many of the combinations would have caught Taylor flush, but he has improved so much under the watchful eye of trainer Tommy Yankello that many were slipped or bounced off his gloves.” – Kurt Wolfheimer, Fightnews.com Trainer
