Alvarez’s corner was able to make a world champion, they deserve much credit. However, it might be time for them to do some soul searching. Their inability to make any adjustments or to have any sound game plan not only cost Alvarez the fight, but may have lost some of his credibility.

Alvarez had the potential to make a more competitive fight than Miguel Cotto and Oscar De La Hoya, but instead tried to make it into a boxing match. With a man who is considered to be the best boxer of his era, that is a huge mistake.

Alvarez’s corner will have to adjust to fighting opponents who can also adjust. They need to be able to make a sound game plan and be able to switch it when it is not working. Trying to outbox Mayweather was a train wreck waiting to happen. They need to prepare for fighters who might be better than Alvarez in some aspects.
