Comments Thread For: Alex Ariza Explains His Side: The Feud With Miguel Diaz

Great read, actually.

I like Ariz a lot more now that I know he worked with Chico. Cool.

Wow, what a drama.

what is this idiot Ariza talking about? Miguel Diaz is a great trainer! his plan worked well as you can see Maidana had Khan out on his feet and could of got the KO if it wasn't for the ****** choice of referee for that night! There's only one thing people want to hear about right now and that's a Rematch with a good referee!

ariza is and always has been a suck-*ss water boy!

I tell you what, seeing that film is probably what made him take so many shots.

I'm sure his defense must be better than he showed.

So Ariza lost his temper and has confessed.

Good lad.

Ariza may be a good conditioning coach, but he is classless. I was at the Humberto Soto/Urbano Antillon fight, a few times Soto was walking back to his corner after the round. . . call it excitement if you will . . . this dude jumped up and gave Soto and his corner the finger for whatever reason, freddie roach was also there and he simply applauded both fighters after every round. Again, call it what you will, I call it classless. And by the way, Soto/Antillon thus far should be FOTY. . .

Sounds like Freddy and Ariza were trying to keep Miguel away from hearing what they're saying to Pac in between rounds, or just to avoid him getting samples of Pac's blood (lol) knowing how close he's to Mayweather.

Ouch, that makes me laugh though.

A conditioning coach telling a world class cut man how to do is job is hilarious.

During any boxing event you are sure to find your share of subplots. The sport is filled with contrasting characters from all walks of life and when emotions boil over things often can get ugly. Such was the case for this past weekend’s WBA junior welterweight title fight between champion Amir Khan and interim titleholder Marcos Maidana.

I find Ariza's story very believable. People do get jealous of other people and Ariza explained a few things that happened that may have caused this jealousy. And I don't blame Ariza for losing it and calling Maidana a piece of ***** for fighting dirty. He did try to elbow Khan during the break and would never touch them up voluntarily. Of course it could have been worse, but Maidana showed very poor sportsmanship in there. There are always two sides to the story and it would be nice to hear the other side.
