Marquez fires Nacho Beristan

[YoungReezy]

Didn't see this coming! Nacho is a great trainer, this can't be good for Marquez! I guess some people just hate to be bossed around and would rather train themselves.

That IS news! I've been really dismayed by Cotto's decision to keep the lame team and trainer he has. I'm hoping he can recover from his recent loss and start with a completely new team...NO family members...imo, they should not be a part of his team.

My 1st choice is Naaz, but if he couldn't get him, it would be Nacho. and Miguel needs to learn how to listen, take advice from his corner and execute the directions during the fight. i think a fault of Miguel is he's stubborn, and maybe a bit too much pride.

Maybe that's why he never got a really great trainer, somebody that would make him work his azz off and force him to commit to evolving as a better fighter. Watching the 24/7 episodes I couldn't believe how slow and lethargic he looked hitting the mitts.

I would've at least tried to give the impression I'm working as hard as i can, but he looked way over-confident and content to train slow. I heard rumors saying "that's how he always trains...don't worry". Well, i worried. And Manny kicked his ass royally.

Like i posted before, he needs to revamp just about everything. New team, trainer, and lose the false sense of confidence. He has much more potential that can be brought out with a great trainer like the 2 mentioned. But it's up to him to decide if he wants to evolve and be better than before.

We don't even know if he's going to continue boxing. It's been a tough 2 1/2 or so years for him. I hope he can grow from all this and make his comeback and maybe even avenge his losses...maybe. I don't know if even a revamped Cotto could beat Manny. but he had a few good moments very early in the fight that gave me hope...but he quickly lost his confidence when he saw he wasn't hurting Manny.

He needs to deal with the confidence thing, and stop backing up. When he goes into retreat mode, it's all over. He's a aggressor. He needs to come forward. Shane beat Margo cuz he kept coming forward.

I don't think Cotto will dump santiago like that.

Cotto can not have a trainer who tells him what to do.

I like Cotto but his stubborness to always be the main man in camp is his downfall.

As for JMM, well there was nothing he could do to win with any manager. Too much weight and Floyd is too good for him

I agree PensionKiller. He's gotta get out of that self-defeating mindset. To much false pride, and Cotto don't want nobody telling him to get off his ass and train like his life depended on in.

Do you have any links? I know I read an interview here on NSB a while back where Don Nacho said something about Rafa being too ****y for his good or something to that effect. Having said that, are you saying that Rafa fired him as a manager only but will still train with him? I am a little confused here.

Yea bro here is the link

It is in Spanish. He mentions that Nacho was not training him or giving him any attention. All the attention was to JMM...

Hmm interesting... Wonder if it's had an adverse effect on his relationship with his brother too?

This can only be bad for his boxing though, IMO.

Wow, this really sucks. I can't picture RM fighting with anybody else in his corner. Thanks for providing the link bro.

I know right. Nacho has been with him since Rafa turned pro hasn't he?

nacho was his first trainer, been with the marquez bros since they were kids.

for a second there i thought it was JMM from the title.

[BrushMyCage]

he should have done it a long time ago
