Robert Garcia led both of his fighters to victory tonight, and he had a perfect game plan for both. And more importantly, his fighters LISTEN to him.
I noticed it especially in the Donaire fight, as soon as round 1 or 2 (can't remember but it was early) was over he knew that Nishioka would hold his glove up in that position for the entire fight, as he knew that Donaire's left hook was bad news. So he immediately told Donaire to stop looking for the big left, and shift to the right hook and straight rights. Donaire ended up KO'ing him with the right. And the first KD was from a left uppercut.
Good stuff Garcia!
