Is Canelo making a mistake in training in Big Bear California?

Oscar trained there his whole career. It had more to do with oscar being shot and dropping a weightclass than high altitude training.The high altitude supposedly increases red blood cell count because of the relative lack of oxygen in the air. But from what I've heard this could be broscience, Oscar trained there for the Pacquiao fight and we all know what happened there. The English national team was also criticised for training in the high altitude and some commentators blamed their poor performance in the Euros for this.
The theory goes that it simply impedes your ability to train because it's too damn humid so any potential benefit in red blood cell count is offset by a poor training camp.Comment

I would hardly call losing a penalty shootout to Italy in the quarters a poor performance, especially compared to their performances in other recent tournaments.Originally posted by itsafightThe high altitude supposedly increases red blood cell count because of the relative lack of oxygen in the air.

I also don't think any rational person would say the reason Oscar lost to Manny was because he trained at big bear.
