I have rather the opposite feeling. I found the trainers always try to impose something of a cookie cutter strategy on the fighters, especially early in the fight, and the real trainers are too effective at getting the fighters to follow them.

The generic trainers also try to get the sluggers and in fighters to fight outside, but the fighters tend to ignore them much of the time. So I've gone back to the generics, and the results are not perfect, but to me they seem generally more appropriate then using random trainers.

I do have the feeling that the AI selects strategies on the basis of the round and the general situation in the fight (ahead, close, trailing, hopelessly behind) but pays no attention to the caliber and capabilities of the opposing boxer. It also doesn't seem to notice the difference in rhythm between a four- or six-round fight and a ten-rounder. I like the suggestion someone made, that you be able to select a general strategy for the fight beforehand without picking a tactic for every round.
