Comments Thread For: Mike Alvarado's Trainer on The Rios Rematch Strategy

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

If there was a difference in the Brandon Rios-Mike Alvarado rematch besides Alvarado being the victor, it was experienced trainer Rudy Hernandez being in charge of the Alvarado’s corner. Hernandez worked solely as the cutman in the first fight but he was giving the reigns for the rematch and the change paid off greatly as Alvarado came out on top.

Hernandez was on the latest edition of BoxingScene Radio and he discussed how he was given the chance to be the head trainer.

“I went to Denver a month in advance before this fight and when we were there it was established that I would be the one leading the team and that I would be the head coach for this fight. With the experience that I have and my knowledge, Mike liked the idea. When I set the game plan he looked at it and he loved it and he worked on it” Hernandez would tell BoxingScene Radio.

It wasnt to hard to come up for a strategy for Rios, I mean look at him he's nothing but a prime Margarito that got exposed.

Alvarado still does not know how to walk the ring...he is just learning to do so and at 32 he is running out of time. Neither alvardo or rios will be able to beat the top fighters at 140 & 147 pounds...they can not block a punch...it is embarrasing!

Alvarado still does not know how to walk the ring. If you want to teach him how to do it correctly show him an edwin chapo rosario fight. At 32 he is running out of time. Neither him or rios will be able to beat the best fighters in those weights. They can punch, big heart, good conditioning...but you need more than that!

Rios = Margaritto without plaster nothing special. I like the fighters that fight with intelligence and heart like Hopkins,Marquez, etc.
Just having a pair of balls ain't enough you have to be to use all of your tools to the fullest.

coming up with the strategy was easy, but preparing your boxer to execute that game plan is a whole other story

you can be a pressure fighter and still be intelligent about it... but Rios isn't intelligent about it

It was clear in the first fight Alvarado had enough skills to do what he did in the second fight. This time around he avoided in getting into a slugfest and came out on top

the difference is that Rios is not a cheat, Margarito was, at least Rios is not a punk ass like yourself.

I agree. Rios won't ever be a Julio c Chavez because he never moves his head, and never fights smart like that great Mexican warrior.
