Brian "BoMac" McIntyre addresses those gathered for a ceremony honoring him for winning the WBO 2025 Trainer of the Year at B & B Sports Academy in Omaha, Neb., Friday, July 10, 2026.(Chris Machian/Omaha World-Herald via Getty Images) Trainer Brian McIntyre appeared on the Last Stand podcast to talk about his experience training Terence Crawford and their biggest fights, thoughts on the current crop of boxers, and a lot more. Check out some of what he had to say with the full video segment below. BoMac on the most satisfying win he had with Crawford “Spence. Because, man, of course boxing is a competitive sport and everybody get the fuel behind them and rooting their guy on…Them guys over there, they got personally disrespectful. And throwing shots at me, throwing shots at our team, throwing shots at Bud, but the whole time we stayed professional about it. And all the way up until the end, even after he got beat, those guys didn’t acknowledge nothing. “They acknowledged Bud because he did what he had to do, but after that I still felt that animosity. And that’s why it was so personal with me. Derrick James was calling me cheeseburger, they need to make a new weight class for me, but when it was time for that press conference they walked out, put their tails between their ass. “I was going to talk a little sh-t but if you look real closely, when it was my time to say something Bud leaned over and said ‘keep it professional.’” On if he considers himself to be the best trainer “No. Hell no. There’s so many trainers out there that I admire, other trainers that don’t get the recognition. Ronnie Shields, he don’t get a lot. Buddy McGirt…Juan Guzman. Those guys are good, man.” On Keyshawn Davis turning down Devin Haney fight “Kind of boggling to me but I’m thinking maybe it’s something they got planned over there, something bigger and better might come along. Keyshawn, he don’t shy away from fights, that’s one thing he don’t do. And I know firsthand he wants to fight that dude but for him to pull out, I think maybe him, J. Prince, some guys over there on his team, they planned something. So I’m just sitting back and waiting for an announcement ‘Keyshawn going to fight this guy’ or ‘Keyshawn going to fight that guy.’ “Keyshawn a dog, a straight dog. What he’s doing now, it’s got to be all in his plans.” On whether he was disappointed Keyshawn left his camp “No. By far, I’m not. Because, again, them other guys need a chance too…I wasn’t upset, man. I did what I had to do. I made him a champion. So what he want to do after that, that’s just on him.” On who’s the current face of boxing “You can’t really put that responsibility on one person, man, because there’s some great fighters out there. You got Haney, you got Shakur, you got Ryan, you got all those guys out there that’s keeping boxing where it’s at.” On which fighters he likes to watch “I like to watch Shakur fight and I like to watch Tiger Johnson fight…Inoue and Bam Rodriguez.” On Rolly vs Teofimo “Teofimo is going to smash that dude. I don’t even know why they made that fight, man. They giving Teofimo another title, man.” On Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn “Conor Benn going to probably stop him. Ryan ain’t been the same since that first fight with Haney and he got popped. He just never got back to that type of winning. I done seen Benn firsthand. Man, that dude going to destroy him. You heard it first from BoMac.” On Fury vs Joshua “I don’t know. Everybody both say they’re done, they’re washed up, but that’s a hard fight to call. I wish the best for both of them because they’re going to take us to the bank, though.”
