If Pacquiao didn't show mercy than Garcia would've gotten Margarito killed. No way a trainer like that should he ever get trainer of the year. Donaire is a true P4P talent and Rios is a bum who went to the brink fighting another bum. Quit overrating him.
Killed I don't know about that.
It's called Trainer of the Year not Trainer of Last Year ;)

Yeah, its early...If Khan and Pac wins their big fights this year, it will be Roach again...;P
But look who there opponents are mosley and mccloskey...
He has a good chance at beating roach.
I know it's very early... But he's got trainer of the year all to himself.

To be honest his defense looks a bit better. He can definitely be more successful with defense, and can prolong his career. I wonder if he can learn better foot movement?
He is a good trainer and on a winning streak, but it's had to imagine a trainer teaching fighters like Margarito and Rios to have strength, punch hard and take alot of punches.
Just for the record in Spanish he also told him something like:
"Con calma, ya le vamos a caer ensima a este cabron"
It means, "Calm down, we are going to get on top of this motherfuker soon enough"
hehe
Haha I know. No translation needed ;)
love that zapata quote by the way
Thanks for refreshing my memory
Ima put that line in my sig :)

Yea he told him to relax and said "It's not going to be easy, this guy is a world champ"
Rios is a confident kid and fights that way. He knows he stronger than most of his opponents and he tried to overwhelm them to fast.
Garcia is great, couldn't happen to a better guy. He does a lot for that area.

I love the way Garcia put Rios in check in the corner after the 2nd or 3rd round when Rios got momentarily hurt.
Something along the lines of "Don't go all crazy on this guy, hes a World Champion".
Rios was getting a little careless when acosta caught him with some good shots.

Yeah I've been praising/hyping up Garcia for over a year. Dude is defiantly one of the most underrated trainers in boxing and it's only a matter of time before he is universally accepted as one of the best in the business.

rios was hurt bad early... better defense wouldn't hurt.
Yea I think it was the end of the 2nd or 3rd round. The kid is resilient.
Would love to see rios vs marquez or maidana
