Canelo looking to improve his strength & conditioning possibly with Ariza or Heredia
Edit: According to twitter Alex Ariza confirms he will indeed work with Canelo.
Sources close to the information have informed us that unified jr. middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez is looking to make some changes to his team prior to his expected return to the ring this September. Evidently, Alvarez was not pleased with his conditioning in his last bout, a 12-round unanimous decision victory over previously undefeated Austin Trout.
"From what I was told, some of his people reached out to a couple guys; Angel [Heredia] and Alex [Ariza] I heard. I don't think either one is available though because their plates are full, but the kid is looking for help," one source commented.
Whether or not Alvarez does indeed hire a new strength and conditioning coach remains to be seen. Unfortunately for him, however, the two hottest coaches in boxing, Angel Heredia and Alex Ariza, will likely be unavailable to fill that role. Heredia will already be working with Juan Manuel Marquez as he prepares for his own September return against Timothy Bradley [a bout that might even be televised head-to-head with Canelo's return if Floyd Mayweather elects not to fight on that date]. Likewise, Alex Ariza will also be busy preparing Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. for an already tentatively scheduled August return that may end up being pushed back to September as well.
