00:00I want you to obey my commands at all times and protect yourselves at all times.
00:11Any questions?
00:12Any questions?
00:13Touch them up.
00:14Go.
00:15Kid Kansas, Alan Garcia, gives his mentor, his trainer, Gloria Alvarado, who says, look,
00:28he gives up everything, sacrifices to be in L.A. with me.
00:31It's to become a better fighter, but it's also to save himself.
00:37Bernardo Osuna alongside Chris Algieri.
00:41This fight is scheduled for eight rounds between Alan Garcia and Michael Villagrana.
00:48Garcia's fighting with a heavy heart due to the loss of his friend who was stabbed last
00:54Friday.
00:55His son, Xavier, was trying to break up a fight in a house party and ended up losing
00:59his life.
01:00And he's done this time after time, fighting after suffering a loss of life.
01:07I mean, how does he compartmentalize and stay focused, Chris?
01:12Bernardo, we asked him a question at the fighter meetings.
01:14We said, what's new?
01:15And he goes, well, I'm still 21, but everything he's been through, the maturity that he's
01:20had to take on at such a young age, I don't think he's really 21.
01:24I mean, the immaturity that he's shown to be able to get over this time and time again,
01:28come in here and compartmentalize that grief and that sadness and put it right into the
01:35hard work, put it right into the ring.
01:37I mean, it's really something to honor and respect.
01:41You have to admire his resilience and the skill that he is able to show the day after
01:46or the day that his friend died was Friday, Saturday was supposed to be his last day of
01:52sparring.
01:53And then you get a complaint of an elbow there from Lopez Villagrana.
01:56And Gloria Alvarado, his trainer, asked, do you want to go spar?
02:00And he says, yes, life goes on.
02:02You know, life stops for nobody.
02:05And he just has this mindset that he's got to live every day of his life to the fullest.
02:11Such an incredibly focused young man.
02:13You're seeing that focus here with that vicious body work that he's putting.
02:17He just came upstairs with a nice left hook upstairs, trying to punch right through the
02:21guard of Villagrana.
02:25He said, look, every time I fight, I don't want to hurt anybody, but I'm going to hurt
02:31somebody.
02:32It's not personal, but I have a lot to prove.
02:36He's firing all cylinders right now, even just pumping that double, triple jab, looking
02:40very strong, very explosive, very focused.
02:44He said the focus for this camp and this fight is bang, bang, boom.
02:48Explain to that, Chris.
02:49Explain that.
02:51So in the fight, I mean, they're talking about that, you know, that idea of bang, bang, boom
02:53or tap, tap, boom, where we're touching to set up shots, create openings, get more creative
02:58with the offense.
02:59You can get these guys out of there.
03:00They want finishes.
03:01You know, he's got a ton of knockouts already.
03:02He's got 10 KOs in his 13 wins.
03:05They want to make that 14 wins with 11 KOs.
03:08And they think the way to do that is to set up those power shots, not to waste landing
03:12shots on the elbows and clubs.
03:15Nice right hook there from Garcia to Villagrana, landed a shot of his own.
03:24Yeah, Villagrana's got a nice little short, looping right hand.
03:27He's landed two of them so far this round.
03:29Garcia's taken them well, but got to make sure that that left hand is up.
03:33And you see now Garcia adding more to his arsenal, switching southpaw, proving what
03:38he's capable of doing.
03:39Let's listen in to his trainer, Gloria Alvarado.
03:42You know her from her work with Yocasta Valle.
03:45You're doing good.
03:46Don't overthink, okay?
03:47Give me that.
03:48Don't overthink.
03:49Don't rush anything, okay?
03:50He's too slow for your speed.
03:51Just focus on what you're doing, okay?
03:52Don't try to do too much at that pace, okay?
03:53Be relaxed.
03:54Be relaxed.
03:55I need you to focus.
03:56I need you to relax a little, okay?
03:57Stop looking for that knockout.
03:58Box, box, touch, touch, and then get that shot.
03:59Okay?
04:00You're good.
04:01Keep that left hand.
04:02Don't switch up southpaw unless your defense is tight, all right?
04:03Don't lose that center.
04:04Don't lose that balance.
04:05Keep closing the gap with your jabs or the feints.
04:06We're going to bring that left hand up, okay?
04:07Yeah, bring that left hand right back up, okay?
04:08Don't let him get lucky here and touch you with that hook.
04:09Okay.
04:10All right.
04:11All right.
04:12All right.
04:13All right.

04:33You're way better now, okay?
04:34You're smarter, all right?
04:35Do something.
04:36Do something.
04:37The words, actividad con maldad, activity with malice.
04:39You need to do damage.
04:41That was the theme for this training camp for Gloria Alvarado and Alan Garcia.
04:45We have a modified ESPN plus ringside coverage.
04:49We'll leave you with the sights and sounds of the ring.

08:00Yeah, and great instruction from Gloria,
08:03the coach in the corner there.
08:05You know, Garcia explicitly listens to what she's saying.
08:09She asked for a double jab, right hand to the body.
08:11Here you see him attempting it.
08:13Punch didn't land super clean, but he's going for it.
08:16He's listening.
08:17And here we see a big uppercut toward the end of the round.
08:20That landed beautifully on the chin.
08:23And then even after this, Gloria in the corner,
08:24you could hear her yelling, put your hands up,
08:27keep defending yourself.
08:28Even though you got your guy hurt,
08:29even though you're going in for the kill,
08:31no need to get hit with unnecessary punches.
08:34Hey, I need more jabs, more jabs.
08:36You're walking to him with balance,

11:20Four.
11:21Eight.
11:22Measure everything.
11:22Five.
11:23Six.
11:24Everything off of your jab.
11:25Seven.
11:26Everything off of the jab.
11:27Eight.
11:27Hey, hey, hey, hey.
11:28Hey, hey, hey.
11:29That's it?
11:30That's it.
11:31Five.
11:32Done.
11:32Done.
11:33Give me water.
11:40Start fighting, but it was a clean performance
11:44from Alan Garcia.
11:45He did get hit with some counter left hooks.
11:48He got a little bit overanxious,
11:49but he was always in control.
11:51He fought with a lot of intensity.
11:53He fought with a lot of emotion.
11:54And you could tell from Gloria in the corner
11:57trying to get him to calm down all night long.
11:58That was the most consistent advice that she was giving
12:02all night was calm down, calm down, be more direct.
12:04Go through one, through shorter punches.
12:06You know, a lot of emotion coming into this fighting
12:07and it bled into his performance.
12:10Nonetheless, an impressive performance.
12:12The work to the body he did was key.
12:14The way he was able to take advantage
12:17when Michael Lopez Villagrana would lean down.
12:20She wanted him to pick him up with the uppercut,
12:24but he was hammering down with the right.
12:26Yeah, she wanted more finesse and he used his physicality.
12:28You know, it was much more of a physical effort
12:31from Alan than maybe Gloria expected or wanted.
12:34But listen, he got the job done.
12:35All right, three knockdowns.
12:36Let's take a look at how this fight came to a conclusion.
12:40The first knockout of this second round was this one.
12:42Yeah, this was set up a little earlier
12:44with a nice uppercut that landed directly on the chin.
12:46And then here, I was talking about that physicality.
12:48You see him punching down and over.
12:49There's the uppercut that Gloria was calling for all night.
12:52She wanted him to pick him up
12:53because he was bending over more and more.
12:55A lot to do with some of those vicious body shots
12:57he was landing.
12:58Here we see him again, hanging over the top.
13:00Little bit of a push there, but what a body shot.
13:04And there, Bernardo, you spoke about he got hit
13:07with some of those counter shots over the top.
13:09Again, so aggressive in trying to get the finish.
13:12Ran into some punches.
13:13There's a nice little body shot there.
13:15And again, just physicality.
13:16Being too physical, being so aggressive
13:18and being very intense tonight.
13:21And I think that was a good stoppage
13:22because I don't think that was going anywhere good
13:24for Villagrana.
13:27Yeah, I think the Coyote gave everything he could
13:30and Alan Garcia fighting with emotion.
13:33He keeps losing loved ones outside of the ring,
13:36but inside the ring, he's perfect
13:38and 14 professional wins.
13:40You mentioned number 11.
13:42That number was important for him,
13:44the knockout that he came to get.
13:47And he did exactly that.
13:48Yeah, he went the distance his last fight.
13:49Didn't seem like he was too happy about that.
13:51He saw opportunities where he could have.
13:52They worked on things, a lot of catching and shooting,
13:54a lot of aggression and pushing forward.
13:56We saw bits and pieces of that tonight.
13:58Maybe not as smooth as was expected,
14:01but still got the job done and looked great tonight.
14:04Just as effective.
14:05And he maintains a perfect record.
14:07Mark Chinook has the official time of the stoppage.
14:10Ladies and gentlemen, here inside Tingley Coliseum,
14:14Albuquerque, New Mexico.
14:15The blue corner steps in and helps stop this bout
14:18at two minutes, 34 seconds of round number three.
14:22Your winner by technical knockout,
14:25Alan Kid Kansas Garcia!
14:31Alan Garcia continues to improve and impress.
