Robert Garcia isn't really a good trainer...

[Free Booty Dew!]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed that. He was visibly gassed by round 4. Punches had less pop, he got slower, etc. They didn't improve his conditioning whatsoever, just made it worse. I know Ariza was somewhere smiling.

Ariza probably gave him caffeine and other legal supplements that help.

Chino probably didn't even drink any coffee in camp

Yup Maidana's new S&C coach was a fail. Where the hell did they even find dude?

Love him or hate him, Ariza's program seems to be effective. I hear it's very intense and fighter's often have to take a day off of training after working with him. He should know his place in camp, but his ego at being the world's best personal trainer seems deserved.

I disagree; Garcia does a great job. Maidana has come a LONG way from the guy who got embarrassed by Alexander and went life-and-death with Abuelo Morales. He just ain't made to be the guy to dethone the p4p #1, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Firing Ariza obviously hurt them a lot, but who knows what was going on behind the scenes. And honestly, seeing a guy who went crazy the first first be more measured in the rematch is something we see time and time again in boxing,

Garcia is a decent guy but he'd rather see a fighter die in the ring then take a loss and I find it hard to get behind people like that, as much as I like the guy. He's a great personality in the sport but he needs to stay out of the corner and hire people that know the fighters and at least know that moment to pull them out.

I think Garcia made a mistake in firing Ariza. And I only say this because Maidana didn't seem as strong and he gassed even earlier than he did the first time. By round 4, Maidana was visibly gassed and his aggressiveness noticeably declined.

I thought he gassed pretty early too

For real bro, Garcia is one of the best characters in the game, I love that dude but as a trainer he's not beneficial for the fighters and I think in reflection he will admit this after tonight. I'd love to see Maidana with a Low key coach from Argentina, guiding him through some domestic fights that can make him some money before he steps on the world stage.

garcia is a poser after his castillo lost he hasnt been the same.
