1. Use Jesse Reid
Recently, Gabe Rosado ditched his old trainer, Billy Briscoe (peacefully) and started up with Jesse Reid.
Among many things that Reid has tweaked is an emphasis on Rosado sitting down on his punches to create more power behind them. More power you say, huh? We’ll see how that works against the heavy-handed David Lemieux.
But this switch of a trainer could and should be a beneficial switch. Briscoe was great while it lasted, but when Rosado lost his last four fights, it’s time to switch it up.
It’ll be nice to have a new corner for Rosado, and the different perspective in camp can only lead to a more proficient multi-dimensional fighter.
What we need Gabriel to do now is to not let all this go to waste. Sure, Billy’s training was great, but the switch was for a reason, and the voice in the back of Rosado’s head this Saturday should be Reid’s, not Briscoe’s.
