00:00 Okay, gentlemen, we went over the instructions in the dressing room. I expect a clean fight.

00:03 These trunks right there are good. There's a line. These are good. There's a line there.

00:06 Touch gloves now. Go back to your corner.

00:07 That slight resemblance that Alan Garcia's opponent, Gonzalo Fuensalida,

00:13 has to Ruslan Provodnikov has Timothy Bradley's shadowboxing rigged side.

00:18 I'm shook right now, man. When you said that, I looked up at him and said, "Oh my gosh,

00:22 it does look like Ruslan Provodnikov."

00:25 One of the greatest fights ever in the sport. We'll see if Fuensalida can live up to the hype.

00:32 It's a little bit of the haircut, I think, and the facial structure.

00:35 But he don't fight like him, though. I don't think he fights like him.

00:38 I don't think he fights like him. He don't have that power. He only got five, what, five knockouts?

00:42 Three knockouts and twelve yards.

00:44 Three knockouts and twelve yards, yeah.

00:45 You know who does have some power? That young man. Alan Garcia, Kid Kansas.

00:51 He is a fighter to watch out for. Eleven wins, nine by way of knockout.

00:57 Fuensalida, he's a lot smarter than the way he looks.

01:03 I mean, you're always taught as a fighter to never judge a book by its cover.

01:07 You look at his frame, you see you don't see a whole lot of definition on him.

01:11 But when you see him operate inside the ring, you see how he's staying close,

01:15 just close enough, just out of range to make you miss, but then he comes back.

01:19 Anytime you see Garcia, there's any low points in his offense and he doesn't know what to do next.

01:24 That's when you're going to see Fuensalida coming in on the attack.

01:29 Fuensalida told me I need to be smart. I need to work his body, which he's doing so far.

01:33 I just have to watch out for his power in regards to Alan Garcia.

01:37 So he knows what he's up against.

01:38 He knows what he's up against and he'll be durable early on.

01:42 But as Garcia starts to get comfortable and starts to make him pay with his quickness,

01:48 later in the fight, that's when he becomes vulnerable.

01:50 Fuensalida has been stopped. He was stopped in his last fight against Mark Castro,

01:56 who's a talented prospect on the rise.

02:00 Good body work right there.

02:06 Nice shot to the body.

02:09 And right coming back for both, Garcia too.

02:11 Garcia, he's got a little spiciness to him.

02:15 He don't like to get hit and when he gets touched, he wants to get that get back.

02:18 You see the feint from Garcia setting up right to the rib cage of Fuensalida.

02:28 Fuensalida trained by David Figueroa, 20 and 10 in 30 amateur fights.

02:38 The only time he went down was against former world titleist Claudio Marrero

02:42 and it was to a body shot, which is the specialty of Alan Garcia.

02:47 It is a specialty.

02:48 And going down to that body is going to expose the head sooner than later.

02:54 I mean, fighters, we don't like to get hit down to the body.

02:57 And you're already starting to see the reddening in the midsection, right center on Fuensalida.

03:02 Both guys getting their head off the line right there at the same time.

03:09 See, that's experience right there.

03:11 Absolutely.

03:12 You know.

03:12 But he didn't get off the line that time.

03:15 With that right hand.

03:15 We've talked about Gloria Alvarado being in the corner of Alan Garcia, Kid Kansas,

03:24 but there's a lot of women who have made waves and opened doors in the sport.

03:30 Anne Najjar, the Mint Queen, who has worked out of San Diego with Tant Crawford, Johnny Mansoor,

03:35 and even Michael B. Jordan for his role as Adonis Creed in the film Creed.

03:39 Anne Wolfe, who was as tough inside the ring as she was on her fighters.

03:44 Outside the ring, including James Kirkland.

03:48 And then there's Gloria Thornton Peake, a career that spanned more than 40 years.

03:52 She coached Claressa Shields, Andre Ward.

03:55 We're talking about gold medalists in the Olympic Games.

04:00 And now we have the next in line, a woman who has a chance to make history tonight.

04:04 If she can crown Yocasta Valle as the undisputed champion, she'd be the first woman

04:10 to crown an undisputed champion.

04:13 She's known as Coach G, and she was the Boxing Writers Female Trainer of the Year in 2023.

04:19 We'll see a lot of her this evening, and we will hear a lot from her on the mic

04:25 with our very own Timothy Bradley.

04:27 How you doing? Hey, thanks for allowing me to join you, Coach G.

04:30 Welcome to the kitchen.

04:31 To the kitchen? Because why you call it the kitchen?

04:34 It's going to get hot right now.

04:35 Oh, it's hot.

04:37 Really?

04:38 Shoulders side to side.

04:39 There you go.

04:42 Hey, shorten that one up.

04:43 Shorten that up.

04:43 I tell you, when he reaches for the body, shorten it up.

04:46 What are you seeing right now?

04:48 We're just taking our time getting that round in and filling out the opponent.

04:51 You know, he's a tough opponent.

04:53 You know, and he's a--

04:54 What makes him so tough?

04:55 Well, he just wants to come forward.

04:57 He just wants to come forward.

04:58 He's, you know, he's just standing in front of us.

04:59 So we just want to box a little and show this kid all his potential in the ring.

05:04 Watch those left uppercuts.

05:06 Watch the left uppercuts, okay?

05:07 Shoot the upjabs too.

05:08 Give him different jabs.

05:10 He's leaning in with those hooks, kid.

05:12 You got to catch and then shoot.

05:13 Double jab now.

05:14 Don't wait for him to--

05:15 There you go.

05:17 Pick up your elbow a little bit.

05:18 Chop it up a little.

05:19 One, one, and then the six over the top.

05:21 Right there.

05:23 He's moving into your right hook.

05:24 Nah.

05:26 Where's your distance?

05:26 Where's the cutoff punch?

05:27 The right hook.

05:28 He's walking into it.

05:28 There you go.

05:29 There you go.

05:31 Up the middle.

05:32 Up the middle.

05:33 Stay low.

05:33 Don't smile at yourself.

05:34 Here you go.

05:36 Step to him with the double jab now.

05:37 Look at his chin.

05:39 He's up in the air.

05:40 Hit him with the up jab with a five.

05:41 Go.

05:43 Step to him again.

05:43 Everything tight.

05:45 Everything tight.

05:45 How do you get him to do exactly what you want him to do?

05:49 I mean, how do you do that in training?

05:51 He just hears my voice all day long.

05:53 He lives with us.

05:53 You know, he's in camp all the time with me and he hears my voice.

05:56 Hard feint.

05:57 Give a hard feint first.

05:58 Then a double jab.

05:59 Give a hard feint first, then a double jab.

06:01 There you go.

06:03 Oh, good shot.

06:03 There you go.

06:04 Right there.

06:05 Pick him up.

06:06 Pick him up.

06:07 Over the top.

06:08 There you go.

06:10 That's it, baby.

06:12 Hey, hey.

06:13 Over here.

06:13 Double jab.

06:14 Over the top.

06:16 Hey, pick your elbow up a little bit.

06:18 Don't open it up.

06:19 Bring your head over to the left.

06:21 Shoot it right down to the center.

06:24 Wow.

06:24 Excellent.

06:26 Great job.

06:27 Right there.

06:28 Referee Chris Flores was explicit in asking Gonzalo Fuensalida, "Do you want to continue?"

06:36 The answer was even clearer.

06:38 No.

06:39 I'm done.

06:39 Alan Garcia earns his 10th professional knockout in 12 wins, looking better every time out.

06:48 Because Gonzalo Fuensalida was supposed to give Alan Garcia some rounds.

06:55 Even his coach, Laurie Alvarado, said, "We expect this fight to go a few minutes because

07:02 of the fact that Fuensalida is tough and he has a lot of experience."

07:07 And now that Tim Bradley is back ringside, let's take a look at how this fight came to

07:12 an end.

07:13 It was quick and sudden and effective.

07:15 Look.

07:16 Garcia stepped on the gas.

07:21 That's all he needed to do.

07:22 He stepped on the gas.

07:24 You can tell Miss G in the corner when I was having a conversation with her, she said that

07:28 once you stop him from going forward and you start pushing him back, guess what?

07:33 He's going to cough up that victory.

07:35 And that's exactly what you saw right here.

07:37 Alan Garcia forced Gonzalo Fuensalida into submission.

07:42 And it was just the way he turned up the power, Tim, in that second round was by design.

07:48 Well, Fuensalida is the type of fighter that if he stays around long enough, he starts

07:52 believing that he can win.

07:53 He starts landing and starts gaining confidence.

07:56 And you have to shut him down.

07:57 And that's what Garcia did.

07:59 He stepped on the gas.

08:00 He switched southpaw.

08:01 He changed things up a bit.

08:02 And he was digging downstairs to the body.

08:04 You know the history of Fuensalida as well.

08:07 You said the body shots will come into effect.

08:11 And it sure did right there.

08:13 He made him cough it up.

08:14 He made him quit.

08:14 Well, he may look a little bit like Ruzlan Provodnikov, Tim, but he does not fight like

08:19 Ruzlan.

08:20 No, he don't fight like Ruzlan Provodnikov.

08:21 He don't have the heart that Ruzlan Provodnikov has.

08:23 And neither does he have the power that Ruzlan Provodnikov has.

08:26 But, you know, I tip my hat off to any fighter that stepped foot in that ring.

08:30 You know, Garcia looked good tonight.

08:34 He had a little bit of, I would say, a little bit of a puzzle at first in the first round.

08:38 He was getting hit with some shots.

08:39 Got a little bit careless.

08:41 He got to think about defense after offense.

08:43 That's the next phase for him.

08:46 Go back to the drawing board.

08:47 Think about defense after your offense.

08:49 Because as soon as he would see steel and spots, that's when you see my man come forward

08:56 and have some success.

08:57 All right.

08:58 So it's a stoppage win for Alan Garcia in the second round.

09:01 The official time with Mark Chinook.

09:03 Ladies and gentlemen, here inside Desert Diamond Arena, referee Chris Flores stops this

09:08 bout at 1 minute 58 seconds of round number two for your winner by technical knockout,

09:14 Alan "Kid Kansas" Garcia.

09:18 Alan Garcia takes the win at 1 minute 58 seconds of round two.

09:25 And he continues his unbeaten run at 12 and 0 with 10 knockouts.

09:30 And before we go to break, we--
